Home Halloween Horror Nights: Islands of Fear › Event Icon

After the toned-down year that was Halloween Horror Nights XI, Universal decided to kick it back up. Step one was to create an icon that both scared and delivered, like always, a unique atmosphere to the event - thus, the Caretaker was born. His featured house was "Scream House," in which you would enter the home of Albert Caine and discover the sick mutilation that lived within the corridors of his home. Before the Caretaker was chosen as the official mascot, Universal was considering another icon commonly known as Cindy. Details on that character can be found in our "Pre-Fear: Halloween Horror Nights XII" article.

 

     
           
     

Dr. Albert Caine was once a respected surgeon who later in life became the Caretaker of the Shady Oaks Cemetery. As well as all of the standard practices that a Caretaker employed, Caine and his family used the deceased as guinea pigs in unnatural and bizarre experiments, even going so far as to use the corpses as playthings in elaborate funeral parlor parties.

The terrible sight was seen by two teenagers who decided to take a walk through the cemetery telling ghost stories. Walking past the gravestones and various monuments they heard music carried on the wind. Following the sound they came across the Shady Oaks Cemetery which is where they witnessed the Caine family dancing with the rotted remains of decaying corpses.

Word of the grisly goings-on quickly spread and the Police launched a massive investigation but before it could be completed an angry mob comprised of the relatives of the deceased used in the Caretaker's experiments took matters into their own hands. Setting fire to the whole area they destroying the funeral parlor and the Caine Home, with the entire family inside. After the policy investigation had been completed they discovered that the Caretaker and his family had desecrated more than two thousand graves. They found an intricate series of tunnels underneath the ground that ran for miles and miles.

Ten years later and the Shady Oaks Cemetery has been off limits for all comers until now. Although neither the body of The Caretaker or any of his demented family were discovered there is a legend that the strange noises that emanate from the decaying ruins are somehow connected to the horrors of it's past. Could the Albert Caine and his family have escaped that fire? As the Shady Oaks Cemetery is reopened an intrepid research team will enter to discover it's terrible secrets. You, the guests of Halloween Horror Nights: Islands Of Fear, have been volunteered as members of that team.
