Chainsaw Man: The Chaos Slashes Its Way to Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Studios Hollywood

Get ready, devil hunters—Universal Studios Hollywood has confirmed that Chainsaw Man: The Chaos will debut at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights 2025, bringing one of Japan’s most action-packed anime experiences stateside for the first time.

The announcement came via the official HHN Hollywood Instagram account, teasing fans with a chilling tagline: “Lose yourself in a wild original storyline as Denji, Aki, Power, Kobeni, and others battle the Halloween Horror Nights Devil who commands an army of zombies.”

From Japan to Hollywood

This show first premiered at Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights 2024, where it ran as a 4-D film in the Cinema 4-D Theater complete with wind, water, and vibration effects. While Hollywood has confirmed the show will take over the DreamWorks Theater, it has not been confirmed whether those same 4-D effects will be used, or if the presentation will be a standard film screening.

Hollywood has previously imported anime specials from Japan, most recently with Jujutsu Kaisen: Hunger of the Cursed during Fan Fest Nights in 2025. That presentation was a direct adaptation of the Japanese version, just translated into English and stripped of the 4-D features. All signs point to Chainsaw Man following a similar format.

What to Expect in Chainsaw Man: The Chaos

Fans can expect to see Denji—better known as Chainsaw Man—alongside allies Aki, Power, and Kobeni as they face off against a monstrous pumpkin-headed devil leading an army of zombies. The original anime-styled storyline was developed exclusively for HHN, blending over-the-top fight sequences, outrageous visuals, and the dark humor that has made the manga and anime series a global sensation.

For those new to the franchise, Chainsaw Man tells the story of Denji, a down-on-his-luck teen who forms a contract with a chainsaw-wielding devil dog, granting him the ability to transform his limbs into chainsaws to battle other devils. The manga, created by Tatsuki Fujimoto, first ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump before exploding in popularity and receiving a hit anime adaptation in 2022.

A Cutting-Edge Addition to HHN 2025

With this addition, HHN Hollywood continues its trend of blending pop culture with horror in surprising ways. The mix of anime spectacle and Halloween horror should appeal to fans of both HHN and the manga/anime community.

Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Studios Hollywood runs from September 4 through November 2, and Chainsaw Man: The Chaos will be one of the headline offerings alongside other new announcements like The Purge: Dangerous Waters and the return of HHN’s new dining pass.

Chainsaw Man may not be wielding a real chainsaw in the theater, but expect the experience to cut deep with anime fans and horror lovers alike.
