The Monsters Are Back: ‘Monstruos 2: The Nightmares Of Latin America’ Heading To Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood

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.

OK Boils & Ghouls! Monstruos 2, a sequel to our 2023 house, is coming to HHN at USH! Location is Parisian Courtyard (same location as 2023). In fact, if you’re in the park you can see the Cemetery of the Lost taking shape above the construction wall. Here’s some info… pic.twitter.com/dOhMa5QoBy

When we were conceiving the first “Monstrous” house in 2023 (well technically I wrote it in 2022), the idea of a sequel was already in place. We were just waiting to see how it was received by you Boils & Ghouls and luckily it was a fan favorite for 2023…so you get the sequel. pic.twitter.com/elrgcdrmMF

The facade is still the Cemetery of the Lost, only a different section of the graveyard. It’s a very large place (so many bodies are buried there) so you only saw part of it in 2023. Of course, once you step through the crypt gate, you are transported into the world of Monstruos! pic.twitter.com/XCgkjPACYl

Muerte, the caretaker/gravedigger, is still your host and you might spot him out front. He’s very busy these days, so many bones to deal with! The other main characters are El Charro (the dark horseman), El Cadejo (the devil’s dog) and a return of El Cucuy: The Bogeyman! pic.twitter.com/olYPIix0R0

If you were paying attention, and I know you were, you might have noticed that all these characters were featured in a scare zone a few years back. Also by design. We used that as a testing ground for an eventual house (or 2). They all get redesigned for this house!

So that’s a few tasty tidbits for you Boils & Ghouls! If you still have questions, fire away. My daughter is getting very impatient waiting for me to finish tweeting (or Xing) so it may take me a while to respond. She’s threatening to come to HHN this year…I’ll get my revenge!! pic.twitter.com/Es6x6AtFZ8
