Jason Universe Opens at Halloween Horror Nights With Tepid Early Reviews

The Friday the 13th maze doubles as a flagship activation for Horror Inc.'s Jason Universe initiative.

Overview

  • The attraction is now operating at Universal Orlando, with the Universal Studios Hollywood version scheduled to open on September 4.
  • Early coverage characterizes the house as repetitive and one‑note, with rapid‑fire jump scares from multiple versions of Jason and fewer design highs than many original concepts.
  • Performers earned consistent praise from reviewers, who said scareactors elevated otherwise limited scare set‑ups.
  • The maze revisits Camp Crystal Lake with an indoor‑outdoor flow, frequent slashing sound cues, implied kills, and less blood than some guests expected.
  • At Orlando, the house occupies the Fast & Furious: Supercharged space as part of an HHN lineup running August 29 through November 2 that features 10 houses, special tickets, tours, and new themed merchandise.
