10 CHILLING HAUNTED HOUSES
As you brave this year’s lineup of 10 frightening haunted houses, you will need to silence your screams as they enter a terrifying post-apocalyptic world in “A Quiet Place,” where you will follow the Abbott family as they try to escape monstrous creatures with a sharp sense of hearing – ready to hunt down anyone who dares to make a sound.
You will then be transported to New York City in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” where you will team up with Ghostbusters new and old to protect the city from a second Ice Age as the vengeful spirit of Garraka threatens to freeze everyone to death.
Then you travel deeper into a paranormal dimension of tortured souls and demonic entities as you follow in the footsteps of the Lambert family in “Insidious: The Further;”
You will then find yourself in the center of the ultimate battle between two unexpected alliances of classic female Universal Monsters, Saskia Van Helsing, Bride of Frankenstein, She-Wolf, and Anck-Su-Namun in “Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines.”
Then get ready to scream your way through six original haunted houses created by the twisted minds of Universal Orlando’s award-winning Entertainment team, including:
“Slaughter Sinema 2,” where you will head to the Carey Drive-in for a B-movie horror marathon full of spaghetti westerns, grindhouse gore and more.
“Goblin’s Feast,” where hordes of bloodthirsty goblins, orcs, hobgoblins, and witches welcome new visitors to their village for dinner;
“Major Sweets Candy Factory,” where guests join a field trip to a candy factory, only to realize the free samples have transformed the kids into candy-coated killers.
“The Museum: Deadly Exhibits,” which will transport you to the new folklore museum, The Rolling Stone, where there is evil lurking within, ready to destroy everything in its path;
“Monstrous: The Monsters of Latin America,” home to the blood-sucking Tlahuelpuchi, owl-faced witch La Lechuza and bone-ripping El Silbón who can’t wait to prey upon guests.
“Triplets of Terror,” where you will celebrate the Barmy triplet’s birthday and soon realize they celebrate by recreating their family’s horrifying murders.
FIVE TERRIFYING SCARE ZONES
This year’s event will introduce two new hosts of horror, SINIST3R and SURR3AL, who are reigning the streets of Universal Studios Florida and unleashing the horror that awaits within five scare zones.
As you navigate the park, you need to evade hordes of menacing scareactors stalking your every move as you choose a path between SINIST3R, the manifestation of visceral horror, or follow SURR3AL, the incarnation of unearthly terror in “Duality of Fear.”
Then brave the gloriously gory homemade torture devices ‘til they are put out of their misery in SINIST3R’s renaissance faire, “Torture Faire;”
You then get caught in an otherworldly hellscape in “Demon Queens,” where four merciless queens loyal to SURR3AL rule, before wandering onto private property in “Swamp of the Undead,” where you are surrounded by zombies borne from the bodies of other brave trespassers.
Survive this then its time to escape a terrifying gauntlet of Blumhouse characters in “Enter the Blumhouse,” including M3GAN, sinister sadists from The Purge and Black Phone, and more.
ALL-NEW ENTERTAINMENT, SINFULLY DELICIOUS FOOD, AND IMMERSIVE RETAIL EXPERIENCES
In between the screams, you can enjoy:
Nightmare Fuel: Nocturnal Circus – an energetic live show featuring a new nightmare set in a dark circus, full of pyro and aerialists to the beat of rock rhythms;
An all-new highly-themed Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store where guests can shop the latest Halloween Horror Nights merchandise as they are transported to the back alleys of New York City where an ancient evil has been unleashed.
This year also features an all-new food & beverage menu inspired by this year’s haunts, including items like Pork Carniceria (“Monstrous: The Monsters of Latin America”), Mini Stay-Puft S’mores (“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”), Abbott’s Farm Corn Chowder (“A Quiet Place”), and fan-favorites like Twisted Taters.
