All Hallow's Evil was one of the five scarezones that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights 2019 (Hollywood). It was located located in the Metro Lot.

Description[]

Halloween isn’t the only holiday that happens this time of year. The Celtic festival of Hop-tu-Naa is celebrated on October 31st as well. There’s also All Saints’ Day, followed by All Souls’ Day, and of course Mexico’s Dia de Muertos; all of which share this season with the centuries old Gaelic festival of Samhain. Samhain celebrates our transition into the “darker” months at the end of the harvest season. The souls of the dead are thought to return home on this night, and are welcomed with costumes and bonfires. Some say the costumes were actually intended to protect oneself from these otherworldly beings. Here’s hoping they’re relatively peaceful during your visit.

Trivia[]

  • “All Hallow’s Evil” was inspired by Celtic pagan harvest festivals like Samhain. It also folded in myths from other cultures. [1].
  • Pat Quinn who works with Chris and Murdy pitched to them a Zone titled "Samhain: Festival of Darkness". They changed the name but kept the idea of paying homage to all of the original Pagan festival ideas. [2].
  • There was a variety of different props that were reused for this zone.
  • The various symbols on the front sign are Autumn, Horned God, Rebirth, Bane/Deadly, and the Triquetra of Trinity Knot.
  • They used the Druids in the Zone. Religious leaders in pre-Christian Celtic society and were described as practicing human sacrifice by the Romans. The druids didn’t keep written records so the truth of that is a bit of a mystery. [10].
  • The area of the Druids had stones similar to Stonehenge and religious praying. Druids have adopted the historical site (Stonehenge) as part of their history
  • The Inspiration for the Druids design seems to be from a Swedish silent film called The Phantom Carriage.
  • Murdy's favorite character in the zone was one they created with their main make up artists at Magee FX. The Green Man, a character we see in a lot of sculpture, art and architecture but rarely if ever at a Halloween event. Pat Quinn, who creates the zones with them, came up with it. [11].
  • The God of Samhain is the Horned One. In Wicca, the Green Man has often been used as a representation of the Horned God, a syncretic deity that incorporates aspects of, among others, the Celtic Cernunnos and the Greek Pan.
  • Keeping with pagan characters, there’s the Pagan Witch. They thought it would be cool to do a different take on the traditional witch character that embraced more of the dark harvest festival feel. [12].
  • The speech by the Bonesy Sisters in the zone is the song of the Witches from Macbeth. [13].
  • This is the first zone for Hollywood to use projection mapping. [14].
  • The Bush Monsters were a variation on the old camouflage character that they've done multiple times in the past. They introduced a bit of the Wendigo from Native American lore into these characters designs to give them a different feel. [15].
  • The Wickermen at the end was a reference to how Druids allegedly used Wickermen in their human sacrifices. [16].
  • The footage played on several screens at the end of the zone was from the 1922 Swedish silent film, Haxan, a silent semi-fictional documentary about the history of witchcraft, as well as one of the oldest surviving horror films.
