2025 Universal Orlando Horror Nights Haunted Houses

Haunted houses are the main form of entertainment for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando. These haunted houses/mazes each focus on a separate theme which often coordinates with current popular films and franchises.

This is a haunted house like you've never experienced before with Hollywood-style special effects and wonderful scare actors to immerse you in scenes from these popular films. These houses are intense and stimulating to all the senses: they are often loud and may include flashing lights and strong smells that connect to the scenes. There are many jump scares in all these houses and they vary in terms of how gruesome and horrific they can be.

Here are all the houses released so far for 2025!

FALLOUT

Face your fears in post-apocalyptic LA, devastated by nuclear war, based on this hit show and video game franchise “Fallout.” You’ll travel into the vaults and be attacked by raiders alongside Lucy. You’ll escape to the wasteland and confront the bounty hunter, The Ghoul. You’ll even encounter Maximus with the Brotherhood of Steel and see T-60 power armor.

TERRIFIER

Nothing can prepare you for this grisly haunted house based on all three of Damien Leone’s “Terrifier” films. Try your luck against Art the Clown, Vicky and the Little Pale Girl in the Terrifier funhouse. Witness Art’s grotesque handiwork of torture. You’ll be left literally dripping with terror and drenched with fear. It’s a whole new level of gore!

JASON UNIVERSE

Come face to face with the iconic horror villain Jason Vorhees. Stop into the terrifying world of the silent killer. Flee through the woods and into his sinister shack. Enter the summer camp where his gruesome legend began. Jason is back and nothing can save you now!

MONSTRUOS 3

La Muerte returns to guide you through the darkness, where three ghostly legends of Latin America await. From the haunting wails of La Llorona, to the sinister smile of La Muelona, to the twisted illusion of La Siguanaba, these ancient myths come to life and death to terrorize you. The darkness is calling. La Muerte wants an answer.

Death Eaters in Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Death Eaters will be roaming Diagon Alley during the event. Death Eaters are the devoted followers of Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter films. This live entertainment experience will put guests face-to-face with the Death Eatesr as they roam through London, lurk through Knockturn Alley, and ask guests to join the Dark Lord.
