Attractions[]
Haunted Houses[]
- American Horror Story: Volume 2 (Soundstage 21): Experience three horrifying stories in one disturbing house as a deranged cast of characters seek not only your life, but your soul.
- The Shining (Soundstage 22): The visually intense psychological thriller is now the most terrifying haunted experience imaginable.
- Ash Vs. Evil Dead (Parade Warehouse): You'll howl with terror and laughter as you witness Ash battle demons and deadites armed with his fueled chainsaw.
- SAW: The Games of Jigsaw (Shrek Theater): The traps are set. All that’s missing is you. The Jigsaw killer has returned to torment you with his twisted take on poetic justice.
- The Horrors of Blumhouse (MIB Tent): From the minds behind Insidious, Sinister & the Purge comes to the Horrors of Blumhouse.
- Dead Waters (Soundstage 24): Enter a pestilent swamp that oozes evil, the hellish realm of the Voodoo Queen. If you fail to escape, you’re in for a gut-wrenching sacrifice.
- The Fallen (Soundstage 24): You’re about to be caught in the crossfire of the eternal war of light versus dark. No one will be safe.
- Hive (Sprung Tent 2): The crumbling house on 19 Hemingway Lane harbors a nest of bloodthirsty vampires. If you awaken them, you will face a savage, bestial hunger.
- Scarecrow: The Reaping (Sprung Tent 1): At a long-sabandoned Depression-era farm, vengeance takes root, and the only harvest that will be reaped is you.
Scarezones[]
- Altars of Horror (Plaza of the Stars): Enter the nexus of evil, where all the most fearsome characters and nefarious creatures from each of the Halloween Horror Nights™ haunted houses lie in wait.
- Festival of the Deadliest (Hollywood): The dead are throwing a hell of a Hollywood party and you’re invited. Your spirit will fuel the frenzy of this ghoulish gathering.
- Invasion! (San Francisco): The year is 1955, and a UFO has crashed onto the wharf. Their goal: to conduct experiments upon you to prepare to invade Earth.
- The Purge (New York): The Purge has returned to Halloween Horror Nights™ and overrun New York. No one is safe. Be a part of a proud American tradition. United we purge.
- Trick 'r Treat (Central Park): Break the rules. Pay the price. That’s the murderous moral of the five twisted stories in Trick ‘r Treat, a darkly hilarious tribute to Halloween.
Unofficial Scarezone[]
- Clownsaws (Springfield U.S.A): Regardless of how many times they go to the “chainsaw clown” well, it works – and that’s mostly due to the right cast. It seems like the cast is enjoying the part, which translates into some great interactions and opportunities for some good scaring. It’s a bit of a downgrade from a numbers standpoint however. At last year’s event, we had 4 different groups. This year, it’s just the clowns.
Shows[]
- Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure (2017) (Fear Factor Stage): After 26 years of Excellent Halloween Adventures, Bill and Ted are bringing their Farewell Tour to Halloween Horror Nights.
- Academy of Villains: Afterlife (Mel's Drive-In Stage): Witness the intense and shocking dance performance of this world-class group of artists as you discover what happens after we leave this life.
Rides[]
- Transformers: The Ride 3-D
- Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit
- Revenge of the Mummy
- Men In Black Alien Attack

Trivia[]
- The Caretaker was originally planned to be this year's Icon, but was shot down. Bone would be his replacement, but he was not allowed to have Icon status. But with time, he is now considered an Icon.
- Many fans speculated The Amityville Horror would become a haunted house at the event this year due to an easter egg found in the Krampus haunted house from the previous year. The property has yet to make an appearance.
