The Legions of Horror also known as Dark Legions was the only scarezone that was featured during Halloween Horror Nights 22. Dubbed as a series of "street experiences", It was a parkwide scarezone, encompassing all of Universal Studios Orlando, with roaming scareactors. It was also the first single parkwide scarezone at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando since Midway of the Bizarre in 2007.

History and Location[]

In 2012, Universal would decided to only have one scarezone that was spread across the entire park. It would be the first time in Halloween Horror Nights Orlando history in which scareactors were able to attack guests in unlimited areas throughout the park, including gift shops, house queue areas and restaurants.

The scarezone would be themed to the Legions of Horror, seven different legions featured on the website of the event. It would be split into seven different sections that would roam around the park.

Story[]

With a ripping, clawing and tearing through the concrete beneath Universal Studios come ancient cemetery structures, spilling blood-raged, vampiric hordes that span the eras of time, barbaric warriors with a need to carve flesh from bone and an all-female, chainsaw-wielding prison gang. Unlike in years past, there are no boundaries. No safezones. No one escapes.

The Iniquitous[]

Rooted in evil these are the patrons of death, and were the first to rise from the cemetery. They’ve summoned the Dark Legions to join them in a night of carnage as they feast upon the living.
