Spirits & Demons of the East was one of the five scarezones that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights 2019 (Hollywood). It was located in New York Street.

Description[]

Sacred antiquities have just been shipped over from the Far East, and they didn’t come alone. Many of these artifacts were stolen from ancient temples and carry angry spirits with them. Now the spirits roam New York Street, looking to exact vengeance on anyone who would dare steal such sacred relics. Be careful out there, these powerful demons can look like anything – even innocent school children.

Trivia[]

This was Murdy's Favorite Theme of 2019 for the Zones since it's something they've never done before. ^[1].
This Zone inspired by Far Eastern mythology and ghost stories. They had talked about doing something like this for years and guests had often requested it. ^[2].
Just like years before when they did La Llorona, they consulted with several people within the company who had culturally grown up with these myths and legends. But they also needed a concept for where to set it within the park. ^[3].
The idea was to treat their NY area facades like an import business for rare and exotic goods from the Far East, unaware that many of the items they are selling were stolen from ancient temples and vengeful spirits and demons traveled over with them. ^[4].
The Dragon Demon was another chance to step outside of traditional HHN character design and do something totally different. He was one of Murdy's favorite characters in the zone, beautiful mask and costume design. ^[5].
Lo Pan was a demon character inspired by the villain from John Carpenter’s cult classic “Big Trouble in Little China” which in turn drew its inspiration from Chinese mythology and legends. Murdy thinks everyone wasn't hip enough to get the film reference. ^[6].
Lo Pan had extensive prosthetic make up and took the longest amount of time in the make up chair. ^[7].
They had talked about doing a four legged stilt walker for years as it’s not easy. Takes a special kind of performer to bring it to life. This Zone in 2019 was when they finally brought it to life. ^[8].
The concept art for the spirits and demons were created by Lucas Culshaw.
