Gorewood Forest was one of five scarezones that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights 30. It is located in Central Park and seeks the return of Terra Cruentus and the Terra Queen after their sacrifices sixteen years ago during the 15th Halloween Horror Nights.

History and Location[]

For their Halloween Horror Nights 30 anniversary year in 2021, Universal decided to feature a scarezone based on the land of Terra Cruentus, a medieval continent fueled by blood created during their 2005 event. This would be the first time in sixteen years that the land and its ruler (The Terra Queen) would be featured at the event. On August 12th, 2021, Universal announced that Gorewood Forest would be one of the five scarezones featured at the event that year.

The scarezone would be located in an area called Central Park, a small wooded area connecting World Expo to Hollywood. There are two paths, one going along the Universal Lagoon and the other going through the trees. The scarezone would be located in the second of these two paths.

Description[]

Sixteen years after the gory sacrifices of Terra Cruentus, the heartless Terra Queen is back. Evil is in her nature.


The heartless Terra Queen is back and her wicked plans to remake the world in her terrifying image will take root in Central Park, transforming it into the grisly Gorewood Forest. Guests will find nowhere to hide from her menacing minions as they harvest fresh blood to feed her ever-growing power.

13 Skulls in the Cold Dead Ground

Unsatisfied with the failed minions of her own dark realm known as Terra Cruentus, the Terra Queen has brought the Gorewood Forest to our world so she may rebuild Earth in her own image.

She has created a legion of creatures that serve her every will of their Queen, as they ravage one world to create her new kingdom, draining the blood of sacrificed man-slaves. Perhaps you'd like to donate...

Scarezone[]

At the front of the scarezone, The Terra Queen stood on the main stage of her Terra Throne and ushered guests into the forest. She also sacrificed her former interpreter Eelmouth, having him plunge into a well of fire. The trees of the forest glowed red and beat as if they were alive. Sacrifices on stakes and little huts where Knucklegrunts and other minions of the Terra Queen resided also appeared throughout the street, Terra Ladies also ushered guests further into the fray. Nearing the end, there were skulls and emblems of the Terra Queen's insignia and a medieval roofless carriage filled with the body parts of past victims.

Trivia[]

  • The Terra Queen has not appeared in an HHN event since 2005. This zone served as a chance for the Creative Team to re-invent the Terra Queen character and evolve her story.
  • In the Terra Queen's original storyline, she returned every 15 years. This works out with the HHN timeline. Her last appearance was Halloween Horror Nights: Tales of Terror and her next appearance was Halloween Horror Nights 30.
  • The new design of the Terra Queen was actually based on an original design that never made it into the original scarezone. The original costume from 2005 had to be changed so that she could ride a motorcycle.
