Overview

• Universal Studios Hollywood’s event is now open on select nights through November 2 with eight houses, scare zones, and the returning Terror Tram, following Orlando’s August 29 kickoff.
• Reviewers highlight Hollywood’s Terrifier house for a full‑drench finale with no dry route and a surprise false ending, contrasting with Orlando’s optional wet‑or‑dry finale.
• Art the Clown is deployed beyond the maze in Hollywood, roaming the entire park and featuring in the nightly opening moment.
• Terrifier’s creators and Universal’s producers set out to make one of Horror Nights’ goriest experiences, with Damien Leone saying the team wanted their “bloodiest house.”
• The franchise’s leap from a $40,000 2016 indie to multi‑million box‑office sequels, plus visible fan demand noted by creative director John Murdy, drove Universal to greenlight the maze.
