It started with a series of teasers posted to social media, and now we know what the full house is. Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood is getting Monstruos 2: The Nightmares Of Latin America. The new house is a sequel to Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America from 2023. This time around we’re getting more monsters of Latin America. Here’s the description from Horror Nights.
You can try to flee the clutches of the rider El Charro, the devil dog El Cadejo and the boogeyman El Cucuy, but you can’t escape La Muerte.
Here’s what we had to say about Monstruos last year in our Horror Nights 2023 review.
Like La Llorona last year, Horror Nights has sculpted an absolutely immense house out of Latin American culture and legends. This time, they focus on the blood-sucking Tlahuelpuchi, owl-faced witch La Lechuza and bone-ripping El Silbón. It takes you through each monster’s backstory with stunning detail. It’s not every year that Horror Nights actually scares you with one of the gigantic puppet scares, but here, I was screaming like a child walking through this house. It’s beautiful and frightening all wrapped up into one package. It has some nice environmental effects where meat smells are pumped through while you’re walking in a butcher shop. It’s the little things like that, that separate a good house from a great one.
Monstruos joins hallowed ground with The Bride of Frankenstein Returns and others that have been some of the best houses they’ve ever made.
Here’s what Creative Director of Horror Nights, John Murdy had to say about the house on Twitter/X.
