Dr. Oddfellow's Collection of Horror (Scarezone) was one of the five scarezones that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights 32. It was located in the Front Lot.
History and Location[]
On July 28th, 2023, Universal announced that they would be featuring a scarezone during Halloween Horror Nights 32 which would be themed around the event's icon: Dr. Oddfellow. The zone would feature scareactors from the four other scarezones, and would serve to tie them all together.
The zone would be located in the Front Lot, an area not used for a scarezone since 2008's Dark Reflections. This area of the park is right in front of the main gate, extending past the Hello Kitty store towards Hollywood. The reason this scarezone was not featured in the Plaza of the Stars like in previous years is rumored to be because of the retheming of the area to Minion Land.
The codename for this scarezone was Zucchini.
Description[]
Dr. Oddfellow will lure you into Halloween Horror Nights with a promise of immortality. As he lifts the veil on all the horrors to come, you’ll soon realize you may not even survive the night.
Backstory[]
In 2007, Dr. Oddfellow was slain by a vengeful Jack the Clown, his soul cast deep into the mysterious Zodiac Dimension. Now, having returned from the dead and his Cane of Souls reclaimed, Oddfellow is promising all who enter immortality and invites the masses to see how he uses blood and other ingredients to make elixirs in order to achieve this. In truth, Oddfellow would use the few who survive to increase his legion of followers, enthralling them hypnotically to follow his every command, while those killed by his twisted creations or fellow immortals would be added to his Cane to restore his lost power and expand his influence over the living.

Experience[]
Guests enter the front lot on their left in front of the UNIVRS clothing store is Dr. Oddfellow's carriage lit up and open to the public, inside a plethora of potions and other personal collections of Oddfellows can be seen, a body of a recent victim can be seen lying a table inside the carriage, below the table were many of the different zodiac signs glowing. Dr. Oddfellow would occasionally come out and speak to the audience with his words of wisdom and enticing them to go forward and exploring what their true calling could be if they give away their soul for "immortality" he would even have them participate in learning what the true meanings of the zodiac before beckoning them to relinquish their souls to him even pledging to him. The zone was filled with many different oddities in Oddfellows' traveling troupe along with some trunks open to reveal different carnies' relics.
