Universal Hollywood Horror Nights Twitter has been teasing an announcement for weeks so we are so excited that they have finally announced this highly anticipated Halloween event. What’s even more exciting is that their first Haunted House announcement Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House, which will also be featured at Universal Orlando’s Horror Nights as well. This horror series has been extremely popular on Netflix the last couple of years, and I can say that I personally jumped just about a million times while I was watching it so I can only imagine the horror from this film coming to life in Universal’s haunted house.
Mike Flanagan, creator, director and executive producer of The Haunting of Hill House said in a statement:
“I have loved Halloween Horror Nights for so long. Some of my favorite memories of Halloween were made at Universal Studios, screaming and laughing with my friends. It is such an honor to be included among such fantastic haunts, and I’m so glad that fans will be able to walk the halls of Hill House this Halloween. This is — without a doubt — one of the coolest things that’s ever happened to us at Intrepid. We are so excited to visit the Red Room again – we hope to see you all there!”
Physical distancing is no longer required at Universal Studios Hollywood, and they do not require masks for fully vaccinated Guests (though proof is not required). So be prepared to cling on to some friends and get ready for a night of horror and screams, because Universal knows how to bring the scary! If you’re anything like me you’ll be falling over yourself hysterically laughing and screaming as you try to remind yourself that the horror is not actually real.
Universal Hollywood has not announced any of the other mazes that will be featured at Horror Nights this year, nor have they announced when tickets will go on sale. We expect they will make more announcements regarding this event in the coming weeks and will report as we know more!
How excited are you for Universal Hollywood Horror Nights to return?!
