The venue was The Groove Dance Club at Universal City Walk in Orlando, Florida.
When your last name is Horowitz and you have an October 28th Bar Mitzvah date, then “Horowitz Horror Night” is the only way to go!
Inspired by Universal’s popular attraction, “Halloween Horror Nights,” this party delivered thrills and chills!
Marc Harmon Photography was the photographer and the complete vendor listing is at the bottom of this page.
The Groove Dance Club at City Walk Orlando
Vintage horror movie posters lined the front of the venue with the Mitzvah family photoshopped into each terrifying image
The posters read: “Maxula, He’s a real pain in the neck”, “Franken-teen – Body of a boy, mind of a monster!”, and “Creature from Max Lagoon!”
The ghoulish decor was seen throughout the food displays. Coffins, headstones and planks were used to display the appetizer buffet
The Red Room: A fiery room at The Groove was embellished with bloody lanterns and custom “Max” pillows
“Want a drink?”
All the guests were given special “VIP Passes” for the night with a photoshopped image of the Mitzvah Boy as Franken-Max!
Dancing in the dark included white gloves that were handed out to all the guests before Max’s grand entrance. Black lights came on, white gloves started clapping in the air and Max descended down the stairs to a crowd of family and friends
The adults were seated in a separate section on the top floor of the venue. The spooky atmosphere was enhanced by a long table decorated with candles, florals and plastic Dracula teeth as napkin holders
Fresh cotton candy was spun on LED sticks and handed out to guests at the end of the evening
Every guest received a custom Horowitz Horror Night stadium cup for their drinks
