Overview and Thoughts

USS Halloween Horror Nights 12 Review by Dejiki Scare Zone Vampire Alley 1 entrance

To me, this is surprisingly one of the better scare zones, as it offered a balance between an interesting story about vampires, and good scares with its tight layout with haunted house-like elements. Vampires aren’t new to horror nights, in fact, there was a scare zone about it over a decade ago, and even a haunted house. But this time, the park has created a new story that offers a fresh take on the classic vampire mythos, exploring the tumultuous relationship between the undead and humanity.

As you navigate the claustrophobic alleyways, you’ll encounter desperate vampires, struggling to survive in a world that fears and loathes them. The tension between the bloodthirsty creatures and their human sympathizers creates a twist in the second half, which could have benefited with more scenes and characters to give the experience a proper end.

Vampire Alley is also linked to the Viper Lounge special experience, offering a third faction to the zone’s story, which breaks from the usual two-faction structure of scare zones.

At some point on the alley, you might meet a lone vampire waiting outside a building. She guards with a watchful gaze, only allowing the right kind inside.

If you have the valid passes (RIP Tour or Viper Lounge Add-On Ticket), this shadowy vampire will allow you to proceed to Viper Lounge, the clandestine speakeasy bar run by The Elders, an upper class clan of vampires.

    Do you get the feeling that this is connected to the Abigail film starring Alisha Weir?
