House #2 Name: Museum of Horror: Chamber of Horrors
House Location: Soundstage 22 (SS22)
House Description: There is more carnage than culture to be found in Universal's Museum of Horror, a fortress that pays homage to modern day slashers as well as their classic predecessors, but beware: these effigies are not made out of wax!
