Ready or not, spooky season is here. The clearest sign? Universal Studios has opened the haunted houses that inhabit its Hollywood-adjacent theme park for Halloween Horror Nights.
A Quiet Place has gotten its own haunted house at Universal Studios Hollywood this year (as well as the theme park’s Orlando location). Specifically, the attraction takes inspiration from the first two films in the series, so expect more silent dread and less city destruction à la the recent Day One. You’ll travel through the Abbott family’s farmhouse shelter with sound design that “mirrors the silence in the films” and includes the incorporation of American Sign Language.
That’s in addition to an icy, New York-set haunted house inspired by Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, a demonic one dubbed “Insidious: The Further” (inspired by the Blumhouse franchise), one from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as well as the return of “Monstruos 2: The Nightmare of Latin America” and “Dead Exposure: Death Valley.” The Weeknd will again attach his name to a haunted house dubbed “The Weeknd: Nightmare Trilogy.” You’ll also find “Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines,” an all-female assembly of the classic Universal Monsters (The Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula’s Daughter, She-Wolf of London and Anck-Su-Namun) on the very stage where Dracula and Frankenstein were filmed in the ’30s. And over on the studio tour—ahem, Terror Tram—you can expect a Blumhouse takeover, while The Purge will again assume stage show duties over at the WaterWorld venue.
Halloween Horror Nights runs on select evenings from September 5 to November 3. Tickets cost $77 to $107, depending on the night; with Express Pass add-ons, options range from $209 to $309.
