A Pandora Ad Appears to Have Leaked an Ozzy Osbourne Haunted House for Halloween Horror Nights 35

Halloween Horror Nights reveals usually arrive on Universal's schedule. This one, if it is real, did not.

An audio advertisement shared by a user on Reddit describes a Halloween Horror Nights haunted house built around the music of Ozzy Osbourne. WDW News Today, which reported the leak on July 18, says the ad was served through Pandora and quotes it as stating, in part: "Scream through the Prince of Darkness' kingdom in a haunted house based on the music of Ozzy Osbourne."

Treat this as a leak, not an announcement. Universal has not confirmed the house or authenticated the ad. We checked the official Halloween Horror Nights page on Sunday, July 19, and there is no Osbourne house on it. Attractions Magazine, which also covered the leak, transcribes the line differently, as "Walk through the Prince of Darkness's kingdom," so even the wording is not settled, and it describes the clip only as an audio advertisement on streaming radio without naming a platform. Its headline frames the story as what fans think Universal leaked, not as a confirmed reveal. If the ad is genuine, one plausible explanation is a media buy that went live ahead of its reveal date, though neither outlet reports that and Universal has not addressed it. Attractions Magazine also notes that some remain skeptical, since the audio has not been verified by Universal and "could be an elaborate fan-made production."

What Universal has actually named. Universal promises 10 haunted houses this year and has already named eight of them: Hellraiser, based on the original Hellraiser trilogy; Stranger Things 5, teased on the event page as "One. Last. Adventure."; Sinners, based on the film; Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control; Cybergoria; INVASION: Alien Abduction; MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals; and H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular! That leaves just two houses unannounced, which is exactly the gap a leak like this slots into.

There is precedent for the pairing. Osbourne worked with Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler on a Halloween Horror Nights maze at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2013. Universal's announcement described Black Sabbath: 13 3D as "based on the darkest lyrics from Black Sabbath's biggest hit songs" and called it "the only attraction at the horror event to incorporate 3D video." Osbourne said in that announcement: "We were all really excited when Universal Studios Hollywood approached us about doing a 3D 'Halloween Horror Nights' maze based on our music."

Osbourne died in July 2025, so a music-based house now would likely be read as a tribute. Universal has said nothing to frame it that way, and the tribute angle is a reading of the leak rather than anything the company has stated.

The event details that are confirmed. Halloween Horror Nights returns for its 35th year at Universal Studios Florida on select nights from August 28 through November 1, 2026, with 10 haunted houses, scare zones, and live entertainment. Premium Scream Night is offered on August 27 or October 19. Tickets and packages are on sale now.

We will update if Universal confirms the house.
