Though it seems like Disney is taking a page from Universal's book with the addition of the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Pass, Universal seems to be taking notes from its neighbor next door as well, and are closing out Halloween Horror Nights event evenigns with a new nighttime spectacular: Halloween Marathon of Mayhem. This new show will take place at the Universal Studios Florida lagoon and will feature scenes from Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, Universal's Classic Monsters and Killer Klowns from Outer Space, all projected onto giant water screens. The show will also include 100 water fountains, special effects, electro music, lasers and more. Marathon of Mayhem will run three times every evening at 10 p.m., 11 p.m., and 12 a.m. 

In addition to this new nighttime spectacular, Universal has revealed its full scarezone lineup, which inlucdes the following:

Zombieland: Double Tap It’s time to brush up on those rules of survival. Based on the hit film and its upcoming sequel, this scare zone puts you in the middle of the United States of Zombieland. The infection has spread and bloodthirsty zombies are everywhere. The most important rule to remember: Always double tap.

Rob Zombie Hellbilly Deluxe You know his music, now it’s time to live it. Step into the heavy metal horror of Rob Zombie’s music and imagery in this pulse-pounding scare zone. From otherworldly beings to brutal maniacs, you’ll come face-to-face with his twisted creations as the music cranks to a frenzy.

Anarch-cade An 80s-inspired arcade has taken over Avenue of the Stars. At first glance, you may think it’s a party. However, you quickly learn that “Game Over” means a permanent end for you. A gang of neon slashers are out to play and this is one game you won’t want to lose.

Vanity Ball Beauty is pain. Literally. In the streets of Hollywood, your flesh becomes the canvas as blade-wielding artists slice up willing participants into horrific living works of art. Here, going under the knife takes on a whole other meaning.

Vikings Undead We’re all familiar with the brutal Viking warriors. It’s terrifying enough thinking about facing them alive. Now picture facing them as the undead. They have risen and laid siege to Central Park with an onslaught of gore. Bloodlust never dies.

Finally, Universal has confirmed the final haunted house for this year's event, and it's based on another Rob Zombie property: House of 1000 Corpses:

Come face-to-face with the psychotic Firefly family and their collection of blood and gore. Watch “The Legend of Doctor Satan” come to life right before your eyes. Keep a lookout for the latest addition to Captain Spaulding’s Museum of Monsters and Madmen, Fish Boy! And if you’re lucky, you’ll escape the house as fast as a rabbit, minus the fluffy bunny costume and tragic ending.
