🐻 Five Nights at Freddy’s
IP-based House | FNAF Fan-Favorite Characters Come To Life
The fan-favorite horror game turned Blumhouse box office smash comes to life, and it’s shaping up to be just as disturbing as you’d hope. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria is no Chuck E. Cheese nostalgia trip. Here, you’ll roam the darkened halls after hours as possessed animatronics come alive to stalk you. Thanks to animatronic design by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, expect unsettlingly lifelike figures like Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy to lurch out with mechanical precision and soulless glares. This one is a jumpscare factory, in the best (and worst) way.

☢️ Fallout
IP-based | Post-apocalyptic horror meets survival thriller
Straight from Vault-Tec’s worst-case scenario handbook, Fallout drops you into a world gone nuclear. You’ll start in a claustrophobic underground vault, where every flickering light and air vent could be your last. But it only gets worse as you emerge into the Wasteland, dodging Raiders, mutants, and the imposing Brotherhood of Steel. The Ghoul, a bounty hunter straight out of the Amazon Prime series, stalks your every move. Expect incredible world-building, broken tech, and haunting silence punctuated by sudden, terrifying violence. Don’t forget to bring your Pip-Boy along to help you survive the night!

🔪 Jason Universe
IP-based | Classic slasher terror reimagined
Camp Crystal Lake has never been more deadly. “Jason Universe” is a full-scale tribute to the Friday the 13th legacy, blending scenes from multiple films into one continuous, blood-soaked nightmare. You’ll trek through moonlit forests, dilapidated cabins, and Jason’s grotesque lair. Each room escalates the tension until you’re face-to-hockey-mask with the unstoppable force of nature himself. With shadowy lighting, water effects, and classic horror soundtrack cues, this house feels like walking into a VHS tape you might not make it out of.

🤡 Terrifier
IP-based | Gore overload meets funhouse of death
Art the Clown is here—and he brought every grotesque idea Damien Leone ever dreamed up. Based on all three Terrifier films, this house doesn’t tiptoe around its reputation. It’s aggressive, it’s disgusting, and it’s a sensory overload. You’ll wander through twisted carnival tents, blood-slick bathrooms, and torture scenes so detailed they’ll linger in your nightmares. For seasoned HHN fans craving a house that truly pushes the envelope, this is the year’s most unhinged offering. This is shaping up to be an incredibly immersive house that will offer a wet or dry path for guests to choose from!

🐷 The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks
IP-based (WWE) | Surreal, psychological horror
This isn’t a wrestling crossover, it’s a full plunge into a symbolic fever dream! Uncle Howdy leads you through warped environments inspired by his crew of demented personas, like Rambling Rabbit and Abby the Witch. Abstract visuals, voice distortions, and disturbing puppetry create a dreamlike (or nightmarish) sequence of horror. It’s part mind game, part haunted house, and all unsettling. Expect narrative layers and symbolic dread rather than straight-up gore.

🎨 El Artista: A Spanish Haunting
Original | Gothic, artistic possession
Set in 19th-century Spain, this house tells the tale of a tormented painter who retreats to a rural manor—only to discover his canvas has a mind of its own. The art here literally comes to life, dragging you through rooms filled with cursed portraits, animated sculptures, and grotesque manifestations of creative madness. Gothic architecture, candlelit hallways, and Spanish folklore motifs make this one a visually striking and deeply haunting experience.

🔥 Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters
Original | Western horror with a supernatural twist
Picture an Old West town being invaded by lava demons. Now picture two supernatural bounty hunters (Hatchet and Chains) trying to stop them. It’s cowboys vs. hellspawn in a house that mixes saloon brawls, dusty jail cells, and volcanic terror. Practical fire effects, glowing lava veins in the walls, and intense creature design will create a chaotic, action-packed haunt that leans heavily into spectacle without losing the scares.

🧸 Dolls: Let’s Play Dead
Original | Shrinking-room psychological horror
You’re not in a toy store, you are the toy. Shrunk down to doll size, you must navigate a monstrous playroom where a twisted little girl has taken her broken toys and made them worse. Think melted plastic, stitched-together monstrosities, and baby dolls with eyes that move too realistically. Every room is childlike on the surface, but deeply wrong underneath. One of the creepiest house themes of the year, with an emphasis on unnerving environments and disturbing soundscapes.

🪦 Grave of Flesh
Original | Body horror in the underworld
This house starts at your funeral and ends… well, wherever your nightmares do. After your casket closes, you descend into a rotting, flesh-hungry underworld where the walls drip, creatures claw at your limbs, and no part of you is safe. Claustrophobic tunnels, flesh-pile creatures, and oppressive darkness make this a body-horror lover’s dream (or nightmare). Expect lots of goo, practical effects, and more than a few surprises in the dark.

🐺 Gálkn: Monsters of the North
Original | Norse mythology meets primal horror
Set in a remote northern village blanketed in snow, “Gálkn” summons a haunting tale of ancient evil rising from the ice. The monstrous Gálkn and its demonic horde terrorize villagers—and guests—as you try to escape before being added to the legend. Snow effects, bone-chilling wind, and haunting folklore-inspired creature design make this one of the year’s most atmospheric haunts. It’s Frozen meets The Witch, with claws.
