Midway of Dr. Morose was one of the four scarezones that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights X. It was located in Amity.

History and Location

Amity is an area of Universal Studios Orlando that used to hold the JAWS ride. It was based off of the fictional island that appeared in the first two JAWS movies.

Since 1995, this area was used to hold the Midway of the Bizarre scarezone. In 2000, the scarezone got a name change to Midway of Dr. Morose. The scarezone would be very similar to the Midway of the Bizarre scarezones.

In 2001, the scarezone would be renamed to the Midway of the Bizarre. However, this version of the scarezone would be smaller in scale due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Concept

According to this: https://twitter.com/RonIsAJerk/status/1664075741162532864/photo/1

The following is from Universal Art and Design's presentation manuscript of HHNX- Not Afraid Of The Dark? You Don't Know Jack!

Guests take a walk on the wicked side of a abandoned boardwalk as the "Midway of Doctor Morose" comes to life. Unsuspecting guests enter through a portal of mirrored strobe lights and fog. Once through the assaulting lights, they emerge into the nightmarish and surreal world of the mad Doctor. The Evil Dr.'s diabolical genetic wreak havoc on the foolhardy guests. Shafts of light move from abandoned and desolate buildings. Childhood nightmares come to life when killer freaks and maniacal misfits spring from shadowy alcoves and foggy alleyways menacing "carnival-goers" at every terrifying turn.

Experience

The scarezone was largely similar to the previous Midway of the Bizarre scarezones, in that many carnival freaks and clowns roamed the streets.

Trivia

• This was the only scarezone located in Amity that was not The Midway of the Bizarre.
