The panel will feature TJ Mannarino, Rick Spencer, Mike Aiello, David Hughes, Kim Gromoll, and Patrick Braillard, discussing how Halloween Horror Nights concepts go from idea to final product, with an emphasis on historically-based haunted houses.
The event is being presented in conjunction with the ongoing History Center exhibit, “A Year in the Life: Backstage to Onstage at Universal Orlando® Resort exhibition.”
