The upcoming Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood are just around the corner, promising an array of spine-chilling experiences for guests. Fans can look forward to stepping into all-new terrifying haunted houses, such as "The Exorcist: Believer," which takes inspiration from the latest Universal Pictures film by Blumhouse and Morgan Creek Entertainment. Additionally, there's "Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count," based on the beloved USA & SYFY series, and "Universal Monsters: Unmasked," which draws inspiration from Universal's rich heritage of iconic cinematic monsters. Brace yourself for an unforgettable, fear-inducing adventure!
Beginning at Universal Orlando Resort on Friday, September 1, and at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 7, here is what guests can expect:
The Exorcist: Believer
Inspired by Universal Pictures' terrifying new horror film from Blumhouse and Morgan Creek Entertainment (in theaters Friday, October 13), "The Exorcist: Believer" haunted house will unleash an entirely new level of terror to Halloween Horror Nights. In this new chapter, guests will be transported to a bustling street market in Haiti, where an innocent purchase of a strange folk doll with three eyes leads to the opening of a demonic portal, the awakening of sinister spirits, and the subsequent disappearance of two 12-year-old girls in the U.S. The girls are found three days later with no memory of what happened to them. After the girls begin to exhibit unsettling behavior, it soon becomes clear that only an exorcism can save them - and everyone who comes in contact with them, including unwitting guests, is suddenly at risk of losing their souls.
Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count
Inspired by the hit USA & SYFY series and cult classic films, "Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count" casts this killer doll as the star of his very own haunted house for the first time. A true sadistic killer, Chucky has been mired in the agony of disrespect he feels from his peers at not being taken seriously. Thus begins his quest to turn his haunted house into a living slaughterhouse by killing every person who enters.
Universal Monsters: Unmasked
Lurking sixty feet beneath the bustling streets of the City of Lights, the dank Catacombs of Paris house a much darker secret... The all-new haunted house "Universal Monsters: Unmasked" takes guests down into the infamous burial grounds where every corner and crevice overflows with millions of skeletal remains and even more sinister secrets. Deep within the Catacombs, Universal's most notorious creatures - The Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll and his deranged alternate personality Mr. Hyde, and Dr. Jack Griffin, aka The Invisible Man - also lie in wait as they bide their time and seek vengeance against guests after the opening of the Catacombs to public visitation. These desperate and dangerous fiends have become filled with a rage toward guests navigating the twisted tunnels of their underground labyrinth home. It is here, in the darkness, where they hunt these trespassers and where the sounds of guests' screams will go unheard.
Once again, GRAMMY® Award-winning musician, SLASH, is collaborating with Universal Studios Hollywood on an original score for the west coast version of the "Universal Monsters: Unmasked" haunted house.
Prepare yourself for the all-new original haunted houses, where a total of five formidable stories lie in wait, ready to unleash terror upon willing guests who dare to venture inside:
* "Dr. Oddfellow: Twisted Origins" beckons you to a demented, late-night circus, presided over by an evil ringmaster and a notorious icon, both seeking human souls to fuel their sinister intentions.
* In "Dueling Dragons: Choose Thy Fate," a spine-chilling twist to a familiar tale awaits, as a sinister battle between Fire and Ice unfolds, leaving guests trembling with fear.
* Brace yourself for the horrors of "YETI: Campground Kills," where blood-soaked campgrounds nestled deep in the mountains become the hunting grounds for vicious, bloodthirsty monsters seeking vengeance.
* "The Darkest Deal" tempts souls to sell themselves for fame, but they soon discover that the price of the deal may be more than they bargained for.
* Finally, in "Bloodmoon: Dark Offerings," a colonial cult seeks to slaughter those who dare defy their worship of the Bloodmoon, making it a night of dread and terror for those who cross their path.
Guests can also embark on new spine-chilling experiences and unforgettable culinary adventures such as the all-new disturbingly entertaining show, "Nightmare Fuel Revenge Dream," that features a new dreamer confronting the creature that's been turning her dreams into nightmares. While shopping the latest Halloween Horror Nights merchandise and treats in an all-new Tribute Store, guests can enter a mysterious NYC Comic Book Shop and experience the "Tribute to Terror" by stepping into the pages of this original, terrifying, horror comic book. Guests can enjoy a drink at the Red Coconut Club as it will once again transform into the Dead Coconut Club donning a new theme and menu.
When guests want to take a bite out of the horror, they can enjoy a monstrous menu of all-new food & beverage items, including Bloody Campground Poutine, El Pastor Torta, and Sour Apple Pie Funnel Fries, in addition to returning fan-favorites like Pizza Fries. New this year, Peacock's Halloween Horror Bar will feature themed libations within an ominous nightclub vibe, photo opportunities, and more. For those dying to experience this year's "killer" food & beverage before the event even opens, Taste of Terror will offer guests an exclusive preview of select items that will be featured at Halloween Horror Nights select nights from August 10 through August 26.
When the sun sets, the park becomes even more terrifying at Universal Studios Florida. When ominous clouds fill the sky, Dr. Oddfellow steps out of Halloween Horror Nights past to fill the streets with hordes of taunting scareactors in five all-new scare zones where guests will feel their hearts race with fear as the signs of the zodiac spring to life in "Dark Zodiac," where Dr. Oddfellow's malevolent power transforms the zodiac signs into horrifying horoscope creatures. Guests can also embark on a harrowing expedition into the "Jungle of Doom: Expedition Horror," where Dr. Oddfellow's twisted experiments merge nature and animals, giving rise to vicious jungle creatures craving their next prey. Next, be a witness to a music festival invaded by bloodthirsty vampires set loose by Dr. Oddfellow in "Vamp '69: Summer of Blood." And finally, stumble upon the once-contained monsters of all kinds, now set free from Dr. Oddfellow's crates and cages, as they unleash chaos in "Shipyard 32: Horrors Unhinged."
