Halloween Horror Nights opens Friday, Sept. 3 at Universal Orlando Resort. The attraction will be held on select nights through Oct. 31. Tickets start at $70.99 (the discounted price is only available if you buy online in advance).
The event is unleashing a legion of horror legends, pop culture greats, and haunting original stories in 10 disturbingly realistic haunted houses, five nightmarish scare zones, and outrageous live entertainment, with diabolical surprises lurking around every corner.
Ten Haunted Houses
The Bride of Frankenstein Lives
She’s taking her fate into her own bloody hands. “We belong dead.” The last words of Frankenstein’s monster on that fateful night when his Bride rejected him. But his end was her beginning. Now the Bride is stepping out of the shadows to bring him back. And there’s nothing she won’t do as she sharpens her brilliance by experimenting on unsuspecting victims. The mate will have her monster. And the monster his mate.
Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House
Enter the decaying remains of Hill House, an aging mansion that lives – even if all who dwell there are long dead. Each room takes you deeper into the terror of its ghostly inhabitants. Just don’t enter the Red Room or you may spend eternity listening to the sound of your own screams. Step right into Netflix’s supernatural masterpiece, The Haunting of Hill House. The nerve-fraying tension builds as the long-dead (and more recently dead) inhabitants lunge from the shadows. Prepare to come face to face with The Tall Man, The Bent-Neck Lady, The Ghost in the Basement and more. Welcome to Hill House, a structure more alive than its ghostly inhabitants. Inside these dilapidated walls echo the haunted footsteps of those unlucky enough to call it home – those trapped here for all time. Be careful as you journey down each darkened hallway or you may end up trapped here yourself.
Beetle Juice
Got trouble with the living? You know what to say: Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Enter the world of the original film, more twisted and terrifying than ever, as the infamous Bio-Exorcist haunts you, taunts you, and sends you screaming out of the haunted house. Beetlejuice will torment you at every turn as you wander checkered hallways and through the model graveyard. Succumb to the chaos of the dining room and be a surprise witness to Beetlejuice’s wedding. It’s showtime!
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Follow in the footsteps of the victims from the original 1974 horror classic. Now it’s your turn to experience every blood-splattering nightmare for yourself.
