Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights is set to deliver some of the most chilling experiences yet, and creator John Murdy is pulling back the curtain on what fans can expect this year.
KFI’s Heather Brooker talked with Murdy as he detailed several headline-making additions, including a Five Nights at Freddy’s maze featuring full-scale animatronics designed by the legendary Jim Henson Creature Shop. Fans can also expect the gore-soaked Terrifier house, a relentless Friday the 13th: Jason Un1v3rse maze, a Fallout attraction with a special Season 2 character cameo, and WWE’s The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks.
Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Studios Hollywood will feature:
· “Fallout” will take guests into the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Prime Video’s critically acclaimed series.
· “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” based on Blumhouse’s hit movie, where nothing is as it seems at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria.
· “Terrifier,” inspired by the slasher film franchise that brings the twisted world of Art the Clown to life.
· “WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks” immerses guests in the world of WWE, going head-to-head with Uncle Howdy in an experience that features The Wyatt Sicks and honors the legacy of Bray Wyatt.
· “Jason Universe” features horror movie icon Jason from the infamous Friday the 13th films.
· “Poltergeist,” based on Amazon MGM Studios’ supernatural cult horror classic, will bring guests “into the light.”
· “Scarecrow: Music by SLASH” puts retribution at the forefront, in which Mother Nature seeks vengeance on the homesteaders for their sins of the past that farmland scarecrows will carry out. SLASH’s original score will deliver an unnerving sense of fear as guests navigate the ominous corridors of the haunted house.
· “Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America,” the final chapter, where three ghostly legends of Latin America await.
· “Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse” enables guests to disembark the Studio Tour tram and set off on foot to encounter some of the most iconic villains from Blumhouse’s popular horror franchises over the past 15 years.
· “The Purge: Dangerous Waters,” a live stunt show that takes visitors on a fiery, rock-fueled adventure while they fight to survive the night.
· “Chainsaw Clownz,” a troop of chainsaw killers, confront guests in this scare zone as they enter the event.
· “Carnival of Carnage,” an all-new scare zone featuring a maniacal fun house.
· “Noche de Brujas,” a scare zone that extends the terror from “Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America.”
· “Murder of Crowz,” the popular scare zone returns with a flock of menacing crows doing anything – and everything – to defend their nest.
Music also takes center stage this year, with Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash returning to compose an original score for the all-new Scarecrow: Music by Slash. Guests at Universal can even visit a Slash-themed bar offering cocktails, tacos, and horror-inspired treats.
