Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights events in Orlando and Hollywood will once again feature a house based around “Stranger Things,” this time centered around the show’s fifth and final season.
Here’s how Universal described the house in its press release on Wednesday:
“Fans will confront the terror they’ve seen on screen as they navigate iconic locations and encounter favorite characters—all while evading a host of horrifying supernatural creatures…including Vecna himself.
“The harrowing adventure will immediately transport guests to the town of Hawkins, as the barrier between reality and the supernatural is collapsing to unleash an ominous darkness. As visitors make their way through familiar scenes, including the Wheeler House, Hawkins National Laboratory, the MAC-Z military base, as well as the haunting realms of the Upside Down and the Abyss, they’ll be hunted at every turn by Demogorgons and other sinister creatures. With Vecna on their heels, the terror intensifies, pulling guests into an all-or-nothing battle for survival.”
Every season of “Stranger Things” has been a premiere draw for Horror Nights, beginning with a 2018 house themed around the show’s first season. The last “Stranger Things” house, based on the fourth season, was featured at HHN events on both coasts in 2023. The series briefly switched its theme park allegiance by being part of Six Flags Fright Fest events in 2024.
The “Stranger Things 5” house is the second revealed for HHN Hollywood in 2026, following a house based around the Oscar-winning film “Sinners.” HHN in Orlando will also have the “Sinners” and “Stranger Things 5” houses alongside an original house themed around HHN icons Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow.
At Universal Studios Florida, Halloween Horror Nights is set to begin on Aug. 28, whereas HHN Hollywood will start on Sept. 3. Both events will then run on select nights through Nov. 1.
