Halloween Horror Nights 2024 Haunted Houses
There will 10 haunted houses at Halloween Horror Nights 2024, including 4 terrifying houses based on popular horror franchises, and 6 chilling original concepts. These are the houses announced so far:
Insidious: The Further
Enter The Further as demons try to ensnare you. The Red Faced Demon will lure you into his lair. KeyFace will unlock your fears. Stay away from The Bride in Black and the Man Who Can't Breathe as you make your way from red door to red door. This isn't the first time Insidious has been featured at Halloween Horror Nights, but this will be a brand-new concept for 2024.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
If there's something strange... An ancient artefact has released a chilling new entity, Garraka, and only the Ghostbusters can keep you from getting iced. Based on the latest film in this classic franchise, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will have you freezing with terror.
A Quiet Place
If they hear you they hunt you, so you'll want to keep the screaming to a minimum in this haunted house! Monstrous creatures will hunt you down as the world of the first two A Quiet Place films comes to terrifying life for the very first time at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights.
Slaughter Sinema 2
If you’re dying for a b-movie horror marathon, head to the Carey Drive-in. Scream through scenes from creature features, grindhouse gore, spaghetti westerns and more.
Goblin's Feast
Welcome to the Goblin’s Feast Tavern and visit the goblin village where a lavish feast is being prepared for goblins, orcs, hobgoblins and witches. And you’re the main course.
Major Sweets Candy Factory
You’ve been invited to chaperone a field trip to a candy factory. But this sweet tour is about to turn sour when free samples transform the kids into candy-coated killers wielding sharpened candies.
The Museum: Deadly Exhibits
You’re going to check out The Rotting Stone, the local folklore museum’s infamous new exhibit. An evil spirit escapes from within, possessing the other displays and decaying everything in its path.
Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America
¡Ten cuídado! With La Muerte as your guide, you’ll be asking for piedad from these three terrifying monsters: the blood-sucking Tlahuelpuchi, owl-faced witch La Lechuza and bone-ripping El Silbón.
Triplets of Terror
You're invited to the Barmy triplets' birthday bash. But beware, they celebrate by recreating their family's murders. Prepare for a gory gathering.
Halloween Horror Nights 2024 Scare Zones
Don’t think you’re safe from the scares when you’re not in one of the haunted houses! With five unnerving scare zones filling the streets of Universal Studios Florida, you’ll have to make your way through hordes of scare actors and spooky scenes as you head from one attraction to another.
Just one scare zone has been announced so far for 2024, but we're sure there will be more coming very soon!
- Torture Faire - Come one, come all, to the renaissance faire with the devious theme of medieval torture. Brave the gloriously gory homemade torture devices ‘til you’re put out of your misery.
Halloween Horror Nights 2024 Live Entertainment
If you need a break from walking through haunted houses and scare zones, you can sit back and relax (as much as it’s possible to relax at Halloween Horror Nights!) by watching a live stage show featuring world-class performers dance and do daring acrobatics.
Halloween Horror Nights 2024 Rides and Attractions
Can't get enough of all the rides that Universal Studios Florida has to offer?
