The Terrifier Isn’t Clowning Around

Terrifier

"Nothing can prepare you for this grisly haunted house based on all three of Damien Leone's Terrifier films. Try your luck against the sadistic Art the Clown in his twisted funhouse. Witness Art’s gleefully grotesque handiwork of torture. You’ll be left literally dripping with terror and drenched with fear. It’s a whole new level of gore!"

Jason Universe

Jason Universe

"Come face to face with the iconic horror villain Jason Voorhees. Step into the terrifying world of this silent killer. Flee through the woods and into his sinister shack. Enter the summer camp where his gruesome legend began. Jason is back and nothing can save you now!"

Fallout

Fallout

"It’s Time to Face the Fallout. Face your fears in post-apocalyptic LA, devastated by nuclear war, based on the hit show and game franchise "Fallout." You’ll travel into the vaults and be attacked by raiders alongside Lucy. You’ll escape to the wasteland and confront the bounty hunter, The Ghoul. You’ll even encounter Maximus with the Brotherhood of Steel and see T-60 power armor."

Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters

Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters

"They’re the Outlaws from Hell. In this Old West town, all hell is breaking loose. Red-hot lava demons are trying to possess everyone, melting everything in their path. Your only hope: Hatchet and Chains with their mystical weapons."

Dolls: Let’s Play Dead

Dolls: Let’s Play Dead

"Welcome to Her Toybox of Terror. You’re about to become doll-sized and witness the unnatural creations of a twisted little girl. You’ll be hunted by burnt fashion dolls, toys she’s melded together and undead horrors in her dollhouse."

Grave of Flesh

"You’re Dead Meat. Welcome to your funeral, where things are about to go from bad to worse. You’ll enter your grave and then the underworld, where flesh-eaters who feed on the dead will hunt you for all eternity."

Gálkn: Monsters of the North

"Call Forth a Legion of Terrors.  In a remote northern village, a wicked being rises from the dead, bringing a horde of monsters and demons from the fjords to wreak havoc on the townspeople. Try to escape the belly of the beast."

El Artista: A Spanish Haunting

El Artista: A Spanish Haunting

"Maestros del arte y del terror (Master of art and terror). In 19th century Spain, a tortured artist moves to an isolated country manor to seek inspiration. Instead, the art comes alive and possesses him. You’re about to be part of the permanent exhibition."

More than just haunted houses

HHN Extras:

Guests can also expect immersive scare zones throughout the park, roaming with "scareactors" ready to pounce. 

Here is how Universal describes the four Scare Zones:

  • The Origins of Horror - "Enter a decaying conservatory of twisted vines where artists carve tributes to Halloween Horror Nights 34. You’ll encounter monstrous crows, gargoyles and more."
  • Masquerade: Dance with Death - "You’re invited to a masquerade ball where bloodthirsty vampires lurk behind ornate disguises. When their masks fall, you’ll become their prey."
  • The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane - "Travel down a spooky winding path to a mysterious home, where trick-or-treaters are transformed into feral felines. Be careful or you’ll be next."
  • Mutations: Toxic Twenties - "In a bustling 1920s neighborhood, a BuzzCon truck with radioactive cargo crashes into a mobster getaway car sending the city into toxic pandemonium. It mutates everyone in its path, including you."

Live shows will offer theatrical relief from the relentless frights, while some of Universal’s most popular thrill rides will remain open during the event.

For foodies and collectors, the event features Halloween-themed food and drinks and exclusive merchandise.
