Halloween Horror Nights is coming to Universal Studios Hollywood in about a month and two new additions to the event have been announced!
The Weeknd makes his nightmarish return to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood with an all-new haunted house experience, “The Weeknd: Nightmare Trilogy,” and the other is “Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse,” which invites guests to step into a series of popular horror films from Blumhouse Productions.
“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Legacy of Leatherface,” celebrating 50 years of the iconic maniacal monster, rounds out this year’s macabre lineup.
The Weeknd is one of the most significant artists of the 21st century, and the enigmatic superstar has continued to shatter records year after year. In 2022, he joined forces with Halloween Horror Nights to create the popular haunted house, “The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare,” inspired by his smash hit album “After Hours.”
This year he returns with “The Weeknd: Nightmare Trilogy,” offering fans an authentic and one-of-a-kind horror experience, with surprises around every corner and music by The Weeknd, scored by seven-time Grammy®-winning producer, artist and producer Mike Dean.
Universal Studios Hollywood’s signature Terror Tram is back with a vengeance. In “Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse,” horror fans will journey to the Universal Studios backlot and encounter some of the scariest characters from Blumhouse’s most popular franchises, including M3GAN, The Black Phone, Freaky, The Purge and Happy Death Day.
Additionally, guests who purchase or choose to upgrade their tickets to the RIP Tour event will have the opportunity to take themed photos and will have exclusive access to the Jupiter’s Claim set from the hit film Nope.
Continuing this momentum, Leatherface also makes his terrifying return to Halloween Horror Nights with “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Legacy of Leatherface.”
The haunted house will launch an all-new storyline celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original 1974 slasher film. Set in an abandoned slaughterhouse, guests will encounter numerous iterations of Leatherface from all nine films in the series, dodging his relentless chainsaw at every turn.
Additionally, “The Purge: Dangerous Waters” returns to WaterWorld, taking guests on a fiery, rock-fueled adventure as they fight to survive the night.
To round out the list, horror fans will encounter multiple scare zones throughout the park. Upon exiting the haunted house “Monstruos 2: The Nightmares of Latin America”, visitors will encounter “Luchadores Monstruosos”, a brand new scare zone.
As they begin their terrifying night at Halloween Horror Nights, fans must first evade a troop of chainsaw-wielding killers in “Chainsaw Punkz,” then dodge a royal, gothic-inspired court of the dead in “Skull Lordz.” The menacing “Murder of Crowz” will spill out into a new dedicated space, including the debut of a mother crow in the nest.
These thrilling experiences join previously announced haunted houses, including Paramount Pictures’ critically acclaimed “A Quiet Place” franchise, Sony Pictures’ horror comedy “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” Universal Pictures’ classic monsters in “Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines,” “Insidious: The Further,” based on the latest film in Blumhouse’s terrifying film franchise, “Monstrous 2: The Nightmares of Latin America,” a sequel to the 2023 hit haunted house, and “Dead Exposure: Death Valley,” an original concept house featuring petrifying radioactive zombies.
To add to the scares, guests will also be able to experience some of the theme park attractions that are open during the event, including “Jurassic World—The Ride,” “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™,” a highly immersive area featuring “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™” and “Flight of the Hippogriff™,” “Transformers™: The Ride-3D,” “Revenge of the Mummy—The Ride,” and “The Simpsons Ride™.” Select ticket purchasers will have same-day access to the interactive SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ area from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (subject to change).
