Halloween Horror Nights 2009 (Hollywood) You'll Wish It Were Just a Movie was the 10th year of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. Like 2007 with Jack's fair, This year was similar to Orlando in that the cinema was the central theme.

Jigsaw was the main villain, with the thematics being that all the mazes and scarezones were all part of Jigsaw's movie-centric game.

Jigsaw and the Movie Killers

• Jigsaw (Represented by Billy)- There were multiple men and women who fashioned themselves the moniker of “Jigsaw Killers”. All of them operating on the belief that their victims were taking life for granted and needed to be corrected. The first one while sick genuinely believed that putting his guests through a life or death situation would cure them- but the others changed the rules to fit their even worse standards. Whoever this Jigsaw is, he helmed this Halloween Horror Nights, with his game centering on movies.
• Charles Lee Ray- A serial killer in life; following a fatal shootout and a voodoo spell, he became a serial killer in death. Trapped in the body of a child’s toy from the 80s, he was unsuccessful in gaining a human body many times. Eager to kill many victims, he was elated when Jigsaw tore him out of the screen and into his ”game” where he took over the House of Horrors.
• Harry Warden - A mine accident left all but one of its miners dead. In fact Harry Warden was the one who murdered them all, and unsuccessfully tried to off the one responsible. He died and failed- but the man Tom went insane and formed another self that of the Miner. He was selected by Jigsaw to continue his reign of terror.
• Michael Myers- A disturbed being barely human right down to his youth, he cut a swath of death in Haddonfield. His legacy ensured him as one of the earliest and memorable slashers of horror film history. Jigsaw devised a game that had guests go right back to the time and place of Haddonfield 1978- but this time it’s not just a movie.

Trivia

• Reused the same commercial with Orlando; but with Jigsaw’s Pig Minion instead of the Wolfman (as he would not appear in Hollywood until 2 years later.)
• This was the last time Hollywood’s event had a proper “storyline” for their entire event (2010 and 2011 still used Icons, but they along with every year since was more of a generalized “monster mash” for lack of a better word.
• Tobin Bell would lend his voice the dialogue for all the promotional material for the event.
