A new preview spotlights extreme water, scent, plus burial elements ahead of the Orlando opening.

Overview

  • Universal Orlando released the official event map showing the locations of 10 haunted houses, five scare zones, two shows, and select attractions open during Halloween Horror Nights 34.
  • The season runs on select nights Aug. 29–Nov. 2 in Orlando, with Universal Studios Hollywood operating Sept. 4–Nov. 2.
  • Forbes reports the Terrifier maze features Universal’s most extensive water effects to date, with an Orlando finale offering a choice between a wet path or a dry path.
  • Director Damien Leone described Terrifier as the bloodiest house in Halloween Horror Nights history, while Universal’s Lora Sauls emphasized heightened immersion across the event.
  • Original house Grave of the Flesh simulates burial with towering walls, falling dirt, and strong scent effects, and this year’s lineup also intensifies smell design in Terrifier and WWE’s Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks.
