The black and red Halloween Horror Nights sign is up on a truss at the front of Universal Studios Florida, four weeks out from opening night. Elsewhere in the park, crews installed a WSQK booth themed to the Stranger Things radio station, plus the returning Meetz Meats.
The leaked Pandora ad was real. Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness is coming to Halloween Horror Nights 35, but Universal split the concept between coasts: Orlando sends guests through ancient ruins and dungeons into worlds drawn from four album covers, while Hollywood walks his life story from Birmingham forward.
Universal has confirmed which three Halloween Horror Nights 35 haunted houses open at 2 p.m. for eligible Stay & Scream guests: Stranger Things 5, Hellraiser, and Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control. The Scream Early add-on also moved its entry time up an hour this year, from 3 p.m. to 2 p.m. It starts at $70 per person and does not include full event admission.
When Universal teased Killer Klowns from Outer Space returning to Halloween Horror Nights 35 last week, it would only say the Klowns were coming to the streets, with more details promised soon. Now those details are here. The scare zone is called Downtown Clowntown, it takes over the New York area of Universal Studios Florida, and it adds a second horror-movie clown to the mix in Art the Clown from the Terrifier films.
Universal announced FORTNITEMARES on Wednesday, dropping guests into a battleground called Freaky Fields where the Battle Bus turns up and the Storm closes in. It debuts August 28 in Orlando, in what FOX 35 Orlando reports is a first for the event.
The new 5-House Halloween Horror Nights R.I.P. Tour starts at $299.99 and sends you down a fixed North or South route instead of all ten houses. The South route lists four named houses plus one still to be announced.
