Unleash the Villains

Unleash the Villains was a Friday the 13th stage event that took place at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World in 2013. It was hosted by Hades from Hercules and the film's heroine Megara. The event begins when Meg introduces the guests to Hades to unleash thirteen of Disney's wickedest villains, followed by musical numbers and a blazing fireworks show called "Villainy in the Sky".
