  "account": "The Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness haunted house at Universal Orlando Resort is set to debut during the theme park's annual Halloween Horror Nights. Senior show director, Charles Gray, reveals that both Ozzy's son Jack and his widow/manager Sharon played a crucial role in the planning and execution of this attraction. The goal was to create an original story within an \"Ozzy-inspired world\" that would offer a fan-first experience for even the most die-hard Halloween enthusiast.\n\nThe creative team used Ozzy's album covers as the starting point, following the evolution of the rock icon's music and persona. Notable songs from various eras of Ozzy's solo career, such as \"Bark at the Moon\" from 1983, the mash-up of \"Crazy Train,\" and \"Mr. Tinkertrain,\" all contribute to the immersive experience. These tracks aim to transport guests through the history of Ozzy's career, spanning 45 years of his musical journey.\n\nGray describes the attraction as a thrilling blend of sight and sound, with audio and visual elements working together to create intense scares. He assures that the experience offers a diverse range of scares, from mild jump scares to terrifying moments, making it a perfect fit for fans of the late heavy metal icon. The haunted house will be open from August 28th to November 1st, marking the 35th anniversary of Hollywood Horror Nights at the Orlando resort.",
