Christmas in Hell was one of the five scarezones that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights 2019 (Hollywood). It was located on French Street.

Description[]

You’ll likely feel a faint sense of relief as you exit the Holidayz in Hell maze, but it won’t last long. Navigate through the Christmas trees littering French Street and make your way through our twisted takes on many holiday traditions. A giant nutcracker may be looking for a skull or two to clamp down on. The Winter Witch and Jack Frost himself will be celebrating as well, and they may not take too kindly to you interrupting their festivities. And just when you think it’s over, beware of the New Year’s Baby. He’s… cranky.

Trivia[]

  • The ending of Holidayz in Hell (Haunted Maze) is a Christmas Tree Lot which they wanted the zone to blend with the ending organically into French Street.
  • Since they'd done Dark Christmas years ago, they wanted to use the street mainly as a Christmas scene with some characters from the past and some new ones. [1].
  • A few of the characters such as Jack Frost and the Elves used very similar designs to their appearances in Dark Christmas in 2014-15, though using new sculpts provided by MageeFX. [2].
  • There were several pop culture/Christmas culture references in this zone including:
    • Christmas carolers as skeletons.
    • Demented Snowmen (Reused from Krampus).
    • Jack Frost (Reused from Dark Christmas).
    • Krampus hanging a kid up around a Christmas Tree with red lights.
    • A Demented Toy Shop with Elves and Nutcrackers. A Nutcracker Stilt Walker was also a character roaming the zone with the Evil Elves.
    • Yukon with a pickaxe and Hermey the Misfit Elf with a skeleton version of Rudolph from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
    • The Winter Witch being a reference to Elsa from Frozen.
    • Bumble from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (Reused Yeti from Dark Christmas).
  • Pat Quinn on our team created a series of Christmas displays that are elements that could be wheeled out and locked into place in the streets each night. [3].
  • The concept was to start with Christmas and end with New Year’s Eve, bringing the maze full circle. [4].
  • There was originally going to be an alternate Santa Claus scareactor. He was eventually scrapped before the scarezone even opened.
