August 19, 2025
This fall, guests at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood will have the opportunity to brave new frights and nightmare-inducing experiences inspired by horror fan-favorites at Halloween Horror Nights – consistently named the world’s premier Halloween event. At Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Singapore, guests can officially kick-off the season with all-new merchandise inspired by the frights at Halloween Horror Nights.
Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood Bring Back Iconic Scares for Halloween Horror Nights 2025
Check out these five signature haunted houses at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood.
Five Nights at Freddy's
Guests will fight to survive as they venture through an all-new haunted house inspired by the 2023 hit film “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” Blumhouse’s highest-grossing movie to date and an adaptation of the horror videogame phenomenon.
Guests will follow in the footsteps of Mike, who was recently fired and desperate for work so that he can keep custody of his little sister, after he agrees to accept a position as a night security guard in an abandoned themed entertainment center: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. The terror will start as guests navigate the corridors and learn that nothing at Freddy’s is what it seems when they encounter the supernatural and become lured into the black heart of an unspeakable nightmare.
The journey will bring guests face-to-face with full-scale replicas of the eerie characters from the film—Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and Mr. Cupcake—as they stalk visitors through iconic scenes, including the security room and the showroom where the chilling characters performed. The larger-than-life characters for the haunted houses were created in collaboration with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, who also masterfully produced the animatronics and corresponding costumes for the fan-favorite film.
Fallout
For the first time ever, horror fans will step into the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Prime Video’s Fallout, in an all-new terrifying haunted house at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. Based on the award-winning global video game franchise from Bethesda Game Studios, “Fallout” was a critically acclaimed hit with audiences worldwide when it debuted on Prime Video in 2024. The cinematic series is set in the year 2296, two hundred years after a nuclear war destroyed civilization. All that is left is an eradicated and highly violent hellscape known as The Wasteland crawling with mutated animals and creatures, while gentle citizens take refuge underground in luxury fallout shelters known as Vaults.
In this terrifying haunted house, fans will encounter iconic scenes and characters that will put them into the frightening action of the popular series.
Terrifier
The twisted world of Art the Clown comes to life in this year’s all-new “Terrifier” haunted house inspired by the slasher film franchise that has consistently terrorized filmgoers since 2008. Terrifier introduced a new slasher film series to the cinematic world, featuring Art the Clown, a supernatural entity who terrorizes the fictional town of Miles County, New York, on Halloween and tortures victims in creatively cruel and sickeningly sinister ways. The Terrifier film franchise has evolved to become three chilling and gory movies with a fourth film in development and a Halloween Horror Nights haunted house on the way.
Jason Universe
Halloween Horror Nights gives rise to horror movie icon Jason from the infamous "Friday the 13th" films in the all-original haunted house, “Jason Universe,” which takes guests back to the summer camp where the gruesome legend was born. For 45 years, Jason has tormented audiences worldwide and is considered one of the most notorious villains in cinematic history. This fall, the twisted, creative minds behind Halloween Horror Nights pay homage to the machete-wielding slasher in a horrifying haunted house that re-awakens the legend to terrify old and new fans alike.
“Jason Universe” will take Halloween Horror Nights guests on a vengeance tour throughout the summer camp to see where it all began, from the creaking floorboards of Jason’s ramshackle cabin to the decaying main lodge and the eerie forest that offers no refuge for his victims.
WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks
Guests will be immersed in the world of WWE in the bi-coastal haunted houses “WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks,” where they will go head-to-head with Uncle Howdy in an experience that not only features The Wyatt Sicks, but honors the legacy of Bray Wyatt. The group derives from the creative mind of Bray Wyatt and was resurrected in 2024 by his brother Bo Dallas, also known as Uncle Howdy – the fearless leader of The Wyatt Sicks. The chilling crew of five has quickly emerged as one of the most disturbing and disruptive groups in WWE history with its ominous presence and portrayal of dark and twisted characters – all of which will come to life at Halloween Horror Nights this fall.
Horror fans brave enough to travel through the light of the lantern will find themselves transported into the maniacal minds of The Wyatt Sicks, where each member reigns supreme within their own horrific domains. There, Uncle Howdy together with Ramblin Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch and Huskus the Pig will be waiting to take bloody retribution on a world that has abandoned them. Along the way, guests will be stalked by the eerie presence of The Fiend, Bray’s sadistic alter ego, who looms within the shadows and beckons them to let him in.

What began as an original character developed for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Japan, HamiKuma has quickly turned into a staple of the event since its 2021 debut. Over the past four years, HamiKuma has grown from a single character to a social media icon and is known for his unique blend of cuteness and grotesque horror—a style popular in Japan called kowa-kawa, meaning “scary cute”.
Next month, in early September, the character will expand internationally, making his debut at Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Beijing via new merchandise collections, including a popcorn bucket featuring adorably creepy phrases, plush headwear and much more.
