Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights is back, and this year, they’re bringing the spine-chilling world of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things to life in an all-new haunted house. Fans of the show can experience the supernatural terror and mind-bending twists of Season 4, immersing themselves in the heart-pounding world of Hawkins, Indiana. The haunted house will debut on Friday, September 1 at Universal Orlando Resort and Thursday, September 7 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

 

Prepare yourself for the arrival of Vecna, the newest supernatural villain who is determined to obliterate the barrier separating the eerie Upside Down from the real world. Step into the shoes of Eleven, Max, Eddie, and other valiant characters from the series as you navigate through iconic scenes, including the infamous Hawkins Lab, the mysterious Creel House, and Vecna’s bone-chilling mindscape.

In this immersive experience, guests will confront their deepest fears and come face to face with otherworldly creatures such as demobats and the formidable Vecna himself. As Vecna launches deadly attacks on the citizens of Hawkins, guests will find themselves on the front line of the battle, racing against time to escape his clutches and save humanity from his deadly curse.

John Murdy, the Executive Producer of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, expressed his excitement about bringing the world of “Stranger Things 4” to the event. “From the opening shots of ‘Stranger Things 4,’ episode one, we knew this was meant to be an experience at Halloween Horror Nights,” he said. Lora Sauls, Assistant Director of Creative Development and Show Direction at Universal Orlando Resort, added, “We’re excited for our fans to live Vecna’s curse as we recreate the iconic and terrifying moments from the show.”

Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights is renowned for its immersive and spine-chilling experiences, and the Stranger Things haunted house is no exception.
