Attractions

Haunted Mazes

• The Haunting of Hill House (Curious George Tent 1): 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 (Parisian Courtyard): This time, the Bride of Frankenstein is stepping out of the shadows and taking her fate into her own bloody hands. The mate will have her monster. And the monster his mate.
• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Mummy Queue): Enter the dilapidated Sawyer house and meet Leatherface and his demented family of merciless butchers. Will you make it out in one piece? Or in pieces?
• The Exorcist (Soundstage 29): The film that fueled your worst nightmares has returned to Halloween Horror Nights. Enter the most haunting scenes from the film as 12-year-old Regan is possessed by a demon, possibly the devil himself. It’s a battle of the wills between good and evil.
• The Curse of Pandora's Box (Curious George Tent 2): An ancient horror has returned to prey on those foolish enough to tempt the Fates with their curiosity and greed. Enter Pandora’s Curiosity Shop, where her infamous box lies. Once it’s opened, all manner of evil will be unleashed. Greek mythology is about to become your monstrous reality.
• Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (Hollywood) (Waterworld Queue): Evil has returned. Michael Myers has escaped, and he’s on his way back to Haddonfield spreading blood and mayhem in his wake. Your only hope is Dr. Loomis – Myers’ fire-scarred former psychiatrist. But will he get there before it’s too late? It’s clear that this time, Michael Myers is unstoppable.
• The Walking Dead Attraction (Year-Round Haunt Venue): Enter the post-apocalyptic world of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” Prepare to fight for survival in a fully immersive journey as you navigate through a world overrun by walkers with an insatiable appetite for the living. Follow in the footsteps of the human survivors as you battle your way through nightmarish iconic landscapes that bring the most popular cable TV show in history to life!

Terror Tram

• Terror Tram: The Ultimate Purge (Backlot): The Terror Tram is back. Unfortunately for you, some of the most iconic Purgers from each of the terrifying Purge films have taken over and are running rampant. It’s every man and woman for themselves as masked and costumed marauders are out to ambush anyone outside during Purge hours. So climb aboard the Terror Tram at your own risk. Because once you get off the tram it’s no rules. No laws. No escape.

Scarezones

• Universal Monsters: Silver Scream Queenz (French Street): The Bride of Frankenstein is bringing classic female movie monsters back from the grave to strike fear into the hearts of men. Sinister sisters unite!
• Chainsaw Rangers (Front Gate): Get ready to howl, roar and bellow with fear as you’re hounded by a bloodthirsty band of chainsaw-wielding maniacs wearing grotesque animal masks.
• Demon City (New York Street): This Manhattan neighborhood has gone to hell. A diabolical new nightclub, Inferno, has opened with demonic clientele straight from the Underworld.

Show

• Jabbawockeez (Fear Factor Stage): Jabbawockeez returns to Halloween Horror Nights with their unique mix of dance, special effects, music and humor.
