Last week we got back from a Roadtrip around the Western USA, covering California and Nevada. I am still sorting through the stack of photos I took during that trip but wanted to share some of them early in the spirit of Halloween!<\/p>\n

My Wife and I attended Universal Studio’s “Halloween Horror,” an event we had been to in Florida in the past but this was our first time going to Hollywood. In a nutshell, they convert the theme park into a haunted house, with horror mazes and roaming monsters. The theme this year was heavily based around AMC’s The Walking Dead<\/a>, although other staples of the horror genre also made an appearance:<\/p>\n

I tried to take some photos as we went, but the conditions were hard – lots of low and variable light with strobes constantly flashing meant I had to go manual a lot of the time and also couldn’t rely on autofocus.<\/p>\n

We splashed out on the VIP experience which got us food\/drink and also front of queue access to all the rides and mazes – it was probably only marginally worth it as we only physically had time to go on most things once before the park closed anyway.<\/p>\n

The event was made up of a combination of live actors and also dummys\/props – the effect however was pretty good, including dismembered zombies you may recognise from the Walking Dead TV Show!<\/p>\n

All in all an enjoyable night, they certainly know how to do Halloween in the USA!<\/p>\n

Happy Halloween!<\/p>\n
