Overview

• Halloween Horror Nights began at Universal Studios Florida with the Five Nights at Freddy’s house posting 110–140 minute waits through the first night.
• Built in collaboration with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the maze employs large-scale puppets and custom animatronics, including a fully electronic “hero” Freddy on a traveler track for dynamic movement.
• The walkthrough recreates sequences from the 2023 film, featuring Freddy, Chica with Carl the Cupcake, Bonnie, Foxy, and Yellow Bonnie, plus a show moment set to Talking in Your Sleep.
• Opening coverage noted one Foxy animatronic not functioning during a visit, a minor outage typical for early runs of complex effects.
• Orlando also introduced a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place dining overlay with a special menu that drew negative reviews for quality and pricing, as the Hollywood house readies for a September 4 launch.
