If you have never had a chance to experience Halloween Horror Nights at either of the Universal Theme Parks, you are missing out. No theme park fully embraces a holiday quite like Universal.

They take their normal park and transform it into a series of haunted houses and amusements all set to different themes and franchises. While the are not always scary, the production values are always of the highest order. You also have to traverse through the park knowing at any time people with chainsaws could be jumping up behind you at any time.

Good clean fun.

This year Universal is adding two new franchises to their stable of haunted houses, Silent Hill and The Walking Dead. The Silent Hill attraction, announced at comic-con, is the first to be based on a video game. The haunted house will most likely take it’s cues from the iconic imagery of the early games and the upcoming movie.

The Walking Dead attraction was just made official today. While zombies are nothing new to the Halloween Horror Nights experience, The Walking Dead as a franchise offers a very specific escape and survive experience that will be fun to re-live if they can pull it off.

Check out a preview teaser of The Walking Dead attraction after the jump and try to find your self at a Universal Park this fall for some spooky fun.

Say what you will about Disney, but sometimes they do extremely cool things, such as the Star Wars Weekends summer events planned out at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando. Launching this weekend is the incredibly cool Carbon-Freeze Me experience:

Using state-of-the-art imaging technology, this experience casts your likeness as a three-dimensional, eight-inch figurine. At the Carbon-Freezing Chamber, several cameras will capture multiple angles of your face. The images are then reconstructed in a computer for processing, and in approximately four weeks, the completed figurine is shipped directly to your house. I had my image captured during early tests for this experience, and it was surreal to see a digital version of my head.

What Star Wars fan wouldn’t want an 8″ figurine of yourself frozen in Carbonite?

The best part about this whole thing is that you can get these custom figures for a relatively low price. For only $99.95 you forever frozen can be yours, and duplicates can be ordered for only $74.95 using the original digital reconstruction of your face.

Of course you will need to be at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to partake in this deal, but if you find yourself at the happiest place on earth this is one of the better souvenirs you could possibly pick up. Details on how to make an appointment (a necessity) can be found at Disney’s Park Blog.
