Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Orlando: Haunted Houses, Scare Zones & Tickets
From 10 all-new haunted houses to chilling scare zones and roaming scareactors, every corner of the park promises heart-pounding thrills. I braved the darkness myself, and trust me—this year is not for the faint of heart.
Some of my favorite haunts include stepping into Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria in Five Nights at Freddy’s, escaping Art the Clown’s gruesome Terrifier funhouse, and exploring the eerie wasteland of Prime Video’s Fallout.
Plus, Jason Voorhees is back for vengeance in Jason Universe, and Universal’s Entertainment team has unleashed original nightmares like Dolls: Let’s Play Dead and Grave of Flesh—each house more terrifying than the last.
The horror doesn’t stop at the houses—four new scare zones like Masquerade: Dance with Death and Mutations: Toxic Twenties keep you on edge, while roaming scareactors (including Art the Clown himself!) make hiding nearly impossible.
When you need a break, check out jaw-dropping shows like Nightmare Fuel: Circus of Decay, shop chilling merch in the new Tribute Store, or grab themed bites and drinks like the Clown Café Bloody Popcorn or Radaway from Fallout.
Tickets, vacation packages, and upgrades like Express Passes and R.I.P. Tours are on sale now, and staying onsite comes with amazing perks like Early Park Admission and dedicated entry gates.
If you love horror, this year’s Halloween Horror Nights is a can’t-miss experience. Visit UniversalOrlando.com/Fall for tickets, packages, and all the terrifying details—then get ready to scream!
