Halloween Horror Nights 2025 kicks off Thursday, September 4, and continues on select nights through Sunday, November 2. And if you’re brave enough to step into the darkness, here’s what you’ll face…

🪦 Welcome to the Light: Poltergeist Haunted House

Only at Universal Studios Hollywood, Amazon MGM Studios’ iconic supernatural horror film Poltergeist is getting the haunted house treatment—and it’s pulling no punches. Guests will be lured “into the light” and into the Freeling family home, where eerie apparitions, ghostly chaos, and iconic moments from the 1982 cult classic are waiting to terrorize. This is not the suburban nostalgia trip you remember.

🚨 Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse

Backlot mayhem is back! This year’s Terror Tram invites you to step off the tour and walk straight into Blumhouse’s cinematic nightmares. Expect close encounters with:

• The Grabber (The Black Phone)
• M3GAN and her cold, calculating dance moves
• The possessed from Exorcist: The Believer
• Killers from The Purge, Freaky, Insidious, Happy Death Day… and more

R.I.P. Tour guests can even meet some of these maniacs (because apparently watching them stalk you isn’t enough).

🔥 “The Purge: Dangerous Waters” Stunt Show Returns

Over at the WaterWorld venue, prepare for pyrotechnics, jet-ski stunts, and chaos on the high seas in The Purge: Dangerous Waters. This high-octane, fire-fueled show drops you into the chaos of the Purge night, where survival is anything but guaranteed.

• Chainsaw Clownz: They’re back, they’re loud, and they’re fast.
• Carnival of Carnage: It’s all fun and games until someone gets slashed.
• Noche de Brujas: A haunting tribute to Latin American folklore, where witches rule the night.
