Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count (Orlando) was one of the ten haunted houses that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights 32. It was located in the Fast & Furious Location.
History & Location[]
On October 31st, 2022, Universal announced that Chucky would be coming to Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood as a haunted house for that year's Halloween Horror Nights events, The house would be loosely based on his USA/Syfy show of the same name.
Despite being on much of the merch for 2021 and 2022 (as well as appearing in pictures on the Chucky's Good Guys Toy Box Photo Op during those years), this would be the first time Chucky returned to Halloween Horror Nights Orlando since 2018's Revenge of Chucky scarezone, along with his first house since 2009’s Chucky: Friends ‘Til The End. This would also make history as the earliest haunted house announcement in HHN history.
On July 28th, 2023, Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood would reannounce the haunted house with a new title: Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count. The house was an original IP based on the SYFY/USA TV series and films. The new original story would bring a fourth wall element to the haunted house, having Chucky "kill" the attractions operators and guests.
This would be the second haunted house located in the Fast & Furious Location. The houses in this location would be held in both the extended queue for the Fast & Furious: Supercharged attraction as well as a tent held backstage near the queue.
The codename of this house was Orange due to the color of Chucky's hair.
Description[]
Inspired by the hit USA & SYFY series and cult classic films, “Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count” casts this killer doll as the star of his very own haunted house for the first time. A true sadistic killer, Chucky has been mired in the agony of disrespect he feels from his peers at not being taken seriously. Thus begins his quest to turn his haunted house into a living slaughterhouse by killing every person who enters.
Chucky, the serial killer doll, is back for a new gorefest! He’s hijacked his own haunted house with all kinds of bloody hijinks. You and your friends must try to survive his ultimate kill count.
Backstory[]
After years of disregarding the killer doll, Universal finds out that Chucky is coming to visit Halloween Horror Nights, so they make a haunted house for him to help promote the event. Chucky is outraged to learn that none of the victims or weapons in house are actually real. Considering himself disrepected for the last time, Chucky killed the creators of the house, possessed the “prop dolls” in the house, and even killed the attraction workers. Now he plans to use this haunted house to increase his kill count substantially (and have a great time doing it).

Queue and Facade[]
Guests would enter the queue to the left of the entrance to the Fast & Furious: Supercharged attraction. The line would go through a gate backstage, where it would loop around the side of the ride building. The queue would then enter the building from the side, and lead into the actual queue for the ride.
Winding their way through the first warehouse room, guests would find that a queue video of Chucky's Ultimate Kill Count played on TVs strewn about the room. The video showed montages of various kills from the Chucky TV show, as well as two other original clips. One clip showed Chucky getting mad at Universal for continuously censoring him. The other clip showed one of the haunted house designers and a mascot with a large Chucky head showing off the facade for the house, before getting murdered by Chucky.
The next room of the queue had a projection showing Good Guy Dolls on the wall. Chucky's voice could be heard speaking the words to the Heart of Damballa, which allowed him to possess all of the dolls in the haunted house. Guests would enter the house through a small door to the right of the projection.
Haunted House[]
Entering the house, guests would see a TV screen on their left playing montages of Chucky's kills from the films and the TV series. As guests made a right, Chucky could be seen surrounded by broken up Good Guy Doll boxes and sitting on a red box with a long ruler in his hand laughing and taunting guests. At the end of the room, guests would be attacked by a Universal employee dressed up like a Good Guy, who reaches out to them. Another employee with a missing arm attacked from the right. Chucky could be seen in the room behind them as guests exited the room.
Guests then enter the Good Guy's Toy Factory and see another Universal Employee dressed similarly to Kyle from Child's Play 2, who warned guests that Chucky is killing people. A knife would pop out from their stomach before they would be dragged back as Chucky's laugh could be heard.
After that, guests would enter the next room of the factory where a static figure of the technician from Child's Play 2 could be seen with a pair of doll eyes jammed into his eye sockets. A portrait of Chucky sitting on a throne from the TV Series can also be seen. Chucky's laugh could be heard, which served as a distraction for another Universal Employee to pop out on their right with their eyes also being replaced by doll eyes.
Next, guests entered into another room where a TV showed Chucky beckoning them to keep moving forward and to not mess with him. As guests made a right, they were scared by another employee who had their head slammed onto a scanner, in a kill similar to Grace Poole's death from Child's Play 2. Next to her was a static figure of Lucas Wheeler, the father of Jake Wheeler from the Child's Play series being electrocuted. Finally on the left was a recreation of Tiffany Valentine's bath electrocution from Bride of Chucky, with the Tiffany Doll sitting next to her bathtub.
The following scene featured Chucky laughing behind a metal grate on the wall as sparks are scraped on his left serving as a distraction. Lights would flash and Chucky could be seen in front and above guests with two electrical wires laughing and tilting down towards guests. Before they exited the room, guests would be startled by an employee jumping out of a curtain on their right. Another photo of Chucky looking at electrical sparks could also be seen at the end of the room.
Guests then enter a hospital room where an unfortunate victim had been stabbed multiple times with syringes on a bed. Guests made a right and entered a hallway where a Chucky puppet would leap out of a curtain on their left and a scratched portrait could be seen on their right. As guests continued forward, they would see Chucky jumping out of a hole in the door with his signature knife on their right stabbing at them as they exit.
The next room featured a recreation of the lady who fell onto a rack of knives in an open dishwasher from the Chucky TV Series on the left. Chucky's feet could be seen scurrying under the kitchen counters as another Chucky portrait could be seen on a wall in front of them. Making a right through a curtain, guests found themselves in front of a merchandise booth featuring various Chucky merchandises. A TV could be seen on the left which showed montages of Chucky's kills from the films and TV show with a sign above displaying a knife-wielding Chucky with an arrow pointing to the next room on the left, The screen would flash to another video of Chucky where he told guests that he will see them real soon as they exit the room.
Exiting the building, guests would find themselves outside where an employee in a Good Guy outfit standing by a stairwell warning guests not to go inside. Guests would see a facade that looked like a warehouse with flickering lights and a sign that had the Chucky Ultimate Kill Count logo. There were also colorful blocks spelling out Chucky's name.
Entering the second half of the house, guests would find themselves in a yellow/red brick hallway that led them to another TV showing more montages of the kills from the Chucky horror films and TV series. Guests would make a left into a hallway of Good Guy dolls as Chucky popped out of a box on their left. In front of them, guests could see a window revealing they are inside of a bus as they were startled by another employee with Chucky latched on them stabbing them. Before exiting the room, guests would be attacked by a bald Chucky doll on their right.
After that, guests would enter a Christmas section, in which an employee leapt out from the left warning guests that they are walking into a trap. Guests would find a big red GAT button on the wall, which if pressed would cause smoke and lights to come out of a chimney revealing a cut out of Chucky holding a chainsaw. Continuing forward, guests would be attacked by a Chucky doll wielding a chainsaw on their right. At the end of the room, guests would see the static figure of Michelle Cross from the Chucky TV Series with her head split in half standing next to a staircase.
Next, guests would enter a pair of dark rooms, with the second one having flashing light that would reveal many variations of Chucky from the past films all over the walls above as they quickly exited the room. Guests then entered the next room where a bearded man who is similar in appearance to Andy popping out on the right. On the left. a static figure of Dr. Mixter with Chucky on her back would swing out at guests. This scare took place in front of a forest background with various Good Guy Dolls impaled and hung on the trees.
Going into the next room, guests would find another television with Chucky telling guests about the game "Hide the Soul". On the left, guests would see the static figure of Trevor Cain on his knees with Chucky's hand holding his heart could be seen ripping through his torso. As guests moved forward, they found themselves in a church with the half blown up body of Father Bryce still standing on their left. A pair of stained-glass windows were also in the scene, with a corpse pressed against one of them. Continuing down a hallway, guests would encounter Glenda, who popped out of a red curtain wielding a knife. Guests entered the next room where Chucky continued to taunt on another TV. A kill counter in the hundreds of thousands could be seen above the exit, which would continue to increase in number as guests made their way into the next room.
Going through another curtain, they would see a masterpiece presumably created by Chucky. It was a corpse made of various body parts mashed together sitting down on a box surrounded by mirrors. As guests made a right, they would find a fake exit sign on the floor leading into a hallway. In the hallway, a possessed worker in a Good Guy costume wielding a bloody chainsaw raced towards guests laughing maniacally. Guests would walk past a shattered window on the right, which would disappear to reveal a Chucky using a chainsaw on it from behind. On the left, another employee could be seen reaching out at guests. Continuing down the hallway, Chucky could be seen on the right on top of another Chucky behind a window trying to chainsaw the glass to attack guests, causing it to crack. The final scare was another employee with Chucky on their back reaching out at guests. Before exiting the house, guests would hear Chucky yelling, followed by a clicking, a beep, and an explosion sound and lighting.
