Universal Studios has announced a terrifying all-new haunted house based on season 4 of Netflix's original series "Stranger Things". The house will transport guests to Hawkins, Indiana, where they will encounter the newest supernatural villain, Vecna, who is hell-bent on obliterating the volatile barrier between the eerie Upside Down and the real world in an attempt to reign supreme.
John Murdy, Executive Producer of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, said, "From the opening shots of ‘Stranger Things 4,' episode one, we knew this was meant to be an experience at Halloween Horror Nights." Lora Sauls, Assistant Director, Creative Development and Show Direction at Universal Orlando Resort, also commented, saying, "We're excited for our fans to live Vecna's curse as we recreate the iconic and terrifying moments from the show."
The haunted house inspired by "Stranger Things" replicates the mind-bending surprises and supernatural horrors of Season 4, providing an immersive and thrilling experience where guests can join courageous characters like Eleven, Max, Eddie, and more. Within the haunted house, visitors will be thrust into the midst of Vecna's relentless assaults on the people of Hawkins, encountering iconic locations such as the infamous Hawkins Lab, the mysterious Creel House, and the bone-chilling mindscape of Vecna. Throughout their journey, guests will confront their deepest fears and encounter unearthly beings like demobats, even facing the formidable Vecna himself. Racing against time, visitors will engage in the ultimate showdown within Vecna's blood-red Mind Lair, striving to escape and rescue humanity from his lethal curse.
