Universal Studios Hollywood is getting set to preview Benicio Del Toro's The Wolfman this October as part of their Halloween Horror Nights theme park experience.

The studio announced today that the Terror Tram: The Nightmare Tour will offer an exclusive preview of The Wolfman on the tram's LED screens. For those of you familiar with the park, it's worth noting that this year's Halloween tram ride will be double that of previous years.

The Terror Tram, Universal says, will take guests off the familiar studio tram and lead them on foot past spooky movie landmarks like the Bates Motel and Psycho House, and into the menacing locations of Universal's legendary backlot.

Upping the thrill factor a bit will be a series of mazes incorporated into the experience, guiding visitors through the sets of Psycho, and War of the Worlds.

Also new to Halloween Horror Nights this year, will be a Nightmare on Elm Street maze attraction that's sure to terrify.

The dates for Halloween Horror Nights are October 3-4, 10-11, 17-19, 24-26, 30-31 and November 1. The event will begin nightly at 7:00 p.m.

The Wolfman, an update of the classic Universal monster movie, stars Benicio Del Toro as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother, and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.

The Wolfman hits theaters everywhere on April 3, 2009.
