OTHER INFORMATION:
This event has the most complete backstory and integrated storyline of all the HHN events.
“Terror Mines” brought a unique feature to Halloween Horror Nights. Visitors were given “miner’s helmets” to wear throughout the house to aid them through the darkness. The light on the helmet was triggered via radio transmitters to turn on, off, flicker, and change color. This allowed Horror Nights designers to bring in a controlled interactive element that added a new level of technology and scare factor to the event. The helmets were also used the following year in the “People Under the Stairs: Under Construction” house.
