Haunted Houses[]
- Puppet Theatre: Captive Audience (Sprung Tent 1): A puppeteer and ballet troupe trapped in a deserted theater for years are about to turn you into a human puppet. That’s your cue to scream.
- Beetlejuice (Parade Warehouse): Got trouble with the living? You know what to say: Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. It’s showtime!
- The Haunting of Hill House (Second Parade Warehouse): Welcome to Hill House, a structure more alive than its ghostly inhabitants. Inside these walls echo the haunted footsteps of those trapped here for all time.
- Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives (Soundstage 23): "We belong dead." The last words of Frankenstein’s monster when his Bride rejected him. Now she’ll stop at nothing to bring him back.
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Soundstage 23): Step into the dilapidated Texas home of the depraved, sadistic Sawyer family who welcome you with razor-sharp blades and a roaring chainsaw.
- HHN Icons: Captured (Soundstage 24): For the first time ever, 30 years of characters from your worst nightmares come together to decide who’s the most evil of them all.
- Revenge of The Tooth Fairy (Soundstage 24): The innocuous traditions of the tooth fairy hide a darker ritual. It’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
- Welcome to SCarey: Horror in the Heartland (MIB Tent): In Carey, bad things just happen. No one escapes from this small town beset by an endless parade of bloodthirsty creatures and maniacs.
- Case Files Unearthed: Legendary Truth (Shrek Theater): Follow the trail of a private eye as an investigation into the supernatural leads you into a dark world of ghouls and terrifying creatures.
- The Wicked Growth: Realm of the Pumpkin (Sprung Tent 2): There’s no breaking free from the vines of the Pumpkin Lord, here to entrap you in his ever-growing evil.
Scarezones[]
- Crypt TV (San Francisco): Step inside Crypt TV, a dark universe of monsters that reside in the same reality—on your screen, in your pockets and now San Francisco.
- 30 Years 30 Fears (Plaza of the Stars): The monsters you’ve most dreaded from past Halloween Horror Nights have taken over the streets. They’re back and you’re history.
- Seek and Destroy (New York): A ruthless alien cyber regime led by The Controller has taken over New York, turning humans into fuel. Succumb or be destroyed.
- Gorewood Forest (Scarezone) (Central Park): Sixteen years after the gory sacrifices of Terra Cruentus, the heartless Terra Queen is back. Evil is in her nature.
- Lights Camera Hacktion: Eddie's Revenge (Hollywood): Get ready for the feel-bad movie of the year. Eddie Schmidt, Jack the Clown’s brother, is filming a horror film and the monsters are real.
Shows[]
- Marathon of Mayhem: Carnage Factory (Studio Lagoon): There’s no manufacturing the screams as a terrifying show comes to life in Universal Studios’ lagoon. It’s a fear factory.
