Halloween Horror Nights offers haunted houses themed to some of the biggest names in fear! This is not for the faint of heart! It is gore and scares and terror.

And, now here is a breakdown of all the Halloween thrills that await.

Haunted Houses for 2023

This year promises to be full of the best kind of dread with a lineup of 10 haunted houses. (I told you these pictures were scary.)

Stranger Things: You’ll need your squad to resist Vecna’s gruesome curse. Like Eleven, now’s your chance to stop him once and for all as you take on the scariest season of Stranger Things yet.

The Exorcist Believer: Two missing girls have been found with no memory of what happened to them. But wherever they went, the ultimate evil has returned with them. Enter the most terrifying scenes from the new Blumhouse film.

The Last of Us: You will encounter the haunting and overgrown world of the video game in a brand-new, terrifying way. Stay silent if you want to survive a multitude of Clickers, Hunters, and more.

Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count: Chucky, the serial killer doll, is back for a new gorefest! And now, he’s hijacked his own haunted house with all kinds of bloody hijinks. Will you survive his ultimate kill count?

Universal Monsters Unmasked: Descend into the Paris Catacombs and face a horde of Monsters: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Phantom of the Opera, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the Invisible Man.

Dr. Oddfellow’s Twisted Origins: You won’t be able to resist going inside Dr. Oddfellow’s menacing menagerie of twisted oddities. But the price for you and your friends is steep: the cost of your souls to feed his immortal power.

Yeti: Campground Kills: You are about to venture into a 1950s campground overrun by huge, menacing yetis who rip apart anyone who gets in their way. You must flee to the ranger tower to escape.

The Darkest Deal: Blues musician Pinestraw Spruce will have to face the music after meeting with The Collector and trading his soul for musical glory. You will soon learn the terrible price of fame.

Blood Moon: Dark Offerings: In a Colonial-era village, moon-worshippers witness a blood moon at their fall festival. They take it as a sign to hunt down any non-followers, including you.

Dueling Dragons: Choose Thy Fate: Two warlocks of great power became dragons after trying to take Merlyn’s spell book. Now, you will be at the center of the epic battle.

Scare Zones

If you wander into one of the 5 Scare Zones, be prepared because the scareactors will stalk you.

• Dr. Oddfellow’s Collection of Horror
• Dark Zodiak
• Jungle of Doom: Expedition Horror
• Vamp ’69: Summer of Blood
• Shipyard 32: Horrors Unhinged

When Does it All Begin?

Fortunately, you will not have to wait long to enjoy all Halloween Horror Nights has to offer. It kicks off in less than a month!

You can enjoy HHN at Universal Orlando Resort on select nights from Friday, September 1-November 4, 2023. And, the night owls of the world will be trilled to know the event runs from 6:30 PM to 2:00 am.

Who Should NOT Attend?

In case you missed it, this is a scary event. If you think the photos are scary, you will DEFINITELY think the event is scary. As a matter of course, Universal cautions that HHN contains loud sounds, low lighting, and sudden movements and effects.

If your thrill level ends at (or before) the Haunted Mansion in Disney World, this is not going to be fun for you. Moreover, if you don’t like to be chased, this is not the one. But, if you love horror movies and a good rush of good old-fashioned adrenaline, you are going to LOVE this.

Most importantly, you should also know that Universal cautions against bringing children. Again, this is not a family-friendly event unless your children love this kind of disturbing scary stuff. In fact, there is a warning on the event information that states, “event may be too intense for young children and is not recommended for children under the age of 13.” So, enter only if you dare.
