Overview

  • Universal Studios Hollywood launched Halloween Horror Nights on Sept. 4 with Terrifier singled out by early reviews as a standout house.
  • Hollywood’s installation adds a false ending and commits to soaking guests, differing from Orlando’s earlier version that offered a drier option.
  • Art the Clown is appearing as a roaming character throughout the entire Hollywood park rather than being limited to a scare zone.
  • The Terrifier houses run on select nights through Nov. 2 in Hollywood and Orlando, following Orlando’s Aug. 29 season start.
  • Universal developed the maze after visible fan demand and the franchise’s box-office rise, with creators saying they aimed for the event’s bloodiest experience based on all three films.
