Universal Fan Fest: Scooby-Doo Collides With the Universal Monsters!

Universal Studios Hollywood whisks guests to its iconic movie studio backlot via Studio Tour trams as part of Universal Fan Fest Nights’ all-original Scooby-Doo Meets The Universal Monsters: Mystery on the Backlot adventure that fuses theatrics, suspense, humor, and engaging live-action, who-done-it mystery, Dread Central learned today.

In this clever adventure, guests will set off on location via the Studio Tour, cast as “extras” in a fictitious monster movie until a mysterious villain, known as The Phantom Director, hijacks the production by unleashing The Universal Monsters – Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein and Wolf Man – throwing it into chaos and bringing the filming to a halt.

Equipped with a Mystery Manual at their disposal, guests will join forces with Scooby-Doo and his pals Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy in an attempt to uncover the Phantom Director’s identity.

The coolest aspect of this event is that guests will explore Universal’s world-famous outdoor film sets at their leisure, including the cobblestone streets of Little Europe and the infamous Court of Miracles, renowned as original filming locations for such historic Universal horror films as Frankenstein (1931) and The Wolf Man (1941). As they uncover a series of clues, it will lead them to solve the mystery, identify the villain and restart production.

Entertaining photo ops with the Mystery Inc. team, Universal Monsters and the Mystery Machine will enhance the experience with memorable, social-friendly content.
