This year’s horror hit Obsession will be a highlight at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. Fans will also get a chance to hunt for a very special Easter Egg at the event.
Last month, HHN Creative Director and executive producer John Murdy announced that Obsession’s popular character Nikki will be present at this year’s event. The character, originally played by Inde Navarrette in the movie, will roam around at HHN.
The performers who will play Nikki at HHN will be able to interact with the fans as well. They will also use dialogue scripted by Murdy and directly inspired by the movie.
However, Nikki’s appearance at Halloween Horror Nights as a typical “slasher villain” has fuelled controversy. Many fans have argued that the character was a victim in the movie. She was trapped under the deadly spell by Bear, who fans believe is the real villain.
Curry Barker adds a hidden surprise for ‘Obsession’ fans
Halloween Horror Nights has also arranged an Easter Egg hunt at the event for Obsession fans. Guests can check out Universal Studios Hollywood’s social media, including its Instagram Story, where a password will be provided. Fans can use the password to interact with the performer playing Nikki.
It will feature the One Wish Willow phone number that Bear called in the film in an attempt to modify the fated wish. “I love the scene where Bear tries to call the customer service department, and when I was reading about the making of the film, I realized that Curry did that voice,” Murdy said.
The HHN creative director also revealed that Obsession’s director Curry Barker has prepared a surprise for the fans.
“I’ve asked him to record a special message for our fans as if he were the customer service rep from One Wish Willow,” Murdy announced. “So it’ll have a phone number on it, and they can call the number and get an exclusive message from Curry,” he added (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood begins on Thursday, September 3.
