Latest Unmissable Updates on Major Theme Park Developments From July
Get ready for a spine-chilling Halloween season as Universal Studios prepares to unleash a horrifying lineup of haunted houses for its annual Halloween Horror Nights event in 2025. The event promises to be a terrifying treat for fans, with popular horror IPs and returning original scare experiences.
Universal Studios Orlando
Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights 2025 will feature an impressive lineup of 10 haunted houses, including a new house based on the popular film "Five Nights at Freddy's." This house will recreate iconic scenes from the movie, featuring life-sized replicas of characters like Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and Mr. Cupcake. The event runs from August 29 to November 2, 2025, offering an extended season of scares.
Another standout house at Universal Studios Orlando is the "Terrifier" haunted house, themed on the slasher film franchise starring the serial killer Art the Clown. This "twisted funhouse" promises one of the goriest experiences in event history.
Universal Studios Orlando also has more room to create its own original houses. One such house is inspired by the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout.
Universal Studios Hollywood
Universal Studios Hollywood will also join in the horror festivities, offering a mix of returning favorites and new terrors. The fan-favorite haunted house Scarecrow, which features music composed by Grammy-winning guitarist Slash, will return. Set in the Dust Bowl era Midwest, the house centres on scarecrows taking retribution on trespassers.
The Hollywood event will also feature a haunted house themed on the slasher film franchise Terrifier, just like its Orlando counterpart.
Shared Experiences
While the majority of the haunted houses will be shared between the two parks, the creative interpretations may differ. One house is based on Blumhouse's Five Nights at Freddy's, with animatronic puppets created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Immersive Activations
The Magic of Halloween doesn't end at the haunted houses. The Peacemaker Peacefest, Adult Swim's live reads of animated shows, and the Alien: Earth and Clown in a Cornfield pop-ups were standout immersive activations at San Diego Comic-Con 2025.
With such a terrifying lineup, Halloween Horror Nights 2025 is set to be an unforgettable experience for horror fans. Don't miss out on the chance to survive the night at Universal Studios Orlando and Hollywood!
