OSAKA — A special version of Halloween Horror Nights, a popular event hosted by theme park Universal Studios Japan (USJ), was held Tuesday evening at the nearby Osaka-Kansai Expo venue in Osaka.
The event, scheduled to run at USJ from Sept. 5 to Nov. 3, made a one-night-only visit to the Expo site. Many Expo visitors danced with about ten zombies from USJ and Expo mascot Myaku-Myaku to music by the popular band King Gnu.
“I love USJ, and this collaboration with the Expo was fantastic,” said a 43-year-old self-employed resident of Higashi-Osaka, Osaka Prefecture. “I’m glad people from overseas got to experience a uniquely Japanese Halloween that was fun for both kids and adults.”
