Halloween Horror Nights 2025: Universal Orlando Dates, Tickets, and Haunted House Lineup

Byandibradbury0524@gmail.com

So, yes, Halloween Horror Nights has technically been underway since the end of August. Everyone has their opinions as to when spooky season really starts (personally, I say September, but to each their own), but for those who like to wait until there’s a slight chill in the air, your time is now! As spooky season officially inches closer, you might be thinking about finally diving headfirst into the screams.

If you’re planning a last-minute trip or just want to know what all the fuss is about, I’ve got you covered. Here’s all the essential information you need for Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Orlando.

Halloween Horror Nights 2025 Dates and Tickets

First things first, let’s talk logistics. You can’t just waltz into Universal Studios Florida and expect to see Jason Voorhees without the proper credentials. Halloween Horror Nights is a separately ticketed event, meaning your regular park admission won’t cut it.

The event runs on select nights from August 29 through November 2, 2025. This gives you plenty of opportunities to get your scare on. Ticket prices vary depending on the night you choose, with weekends and dates closer to Halloween typically being more expensive. My advice? If you can swing a weeknight early, your wallet (and your sanity, thanks to smaller crowds) will thank you.

There are a few different ticket options:

  • Single-Night Ticket: Good for one night of terror. Simple and to the point.
  • Multi-Night Tickets: For the die-hards who know one night isn’t enough. These offer a better value if you plan on coming back for more.
  • Express Pass: If you despise waiting in lines as much as I do, this is a non-negotiable. It lets you skip the regular lines one time for each haunted house and participating ride. Trust me, it’s worth every penny.
  • R.I.P. Tour: Feeling fancy? This guided VIP tour gets you immediate access to the houses and other exclusive perks. It’s the ultimate way to experience the event, if you’re willing to splurge.

You can grab your tickets directly from the Universal Orlando website. Pro tip: Buy them online in advance. They’re often cheaper than at the gate, and some nights will sell out.

The 2025 Haunted House Lineup

Now for the main event of Halloween Horror Nights: the haunted houses! Universal has pulled out all the stops this year with ten unique houses, blending iconic horror franchises with their own twisted original concepts. Here’s a peek at what’s waiting for you in the fog:

  • Five Nights at Freddy’s: The terrifying animatronics from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza are back, and they’re not here to sing “Happy Birthday.” This house brings the jump scares of the popular video game to life.
  • Terrifier: Prepare to face the silent, sadistic Art the Clown. This one is not for the faint of heart. It’s gory, it’s intense, and it will probably make you question your life choices.
  • It’s Time to Face the Fallout: Step into the post-apocalyptic world of the Fallout series. You’ll navigate the wasteland and try to survive encounters with Ghouls and other radiated creatures.
  • Jason Universe: Jason Voorhees is slashing his way through his own universe. You’ll step into iconic scenes and try to avoid becoming another victim on his endless rampage.
  • The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks: For the wrestling fans out there, this house takes you into the demented minds of the Wyatt Sicks. It’s a bizarre and unsettling trip you won’t forget.

Beyond these big names, Universal’s creative team has cooked up some truly nightmarish original houses for Halloween Horror Nights 2025 that play on classic fears and new anxieties.

Final Thoughts: More Than Just Houses

While the haunted houses are the main attraction, there’s more to Halloween Horror Nights. The entire park is transformed with scare zones, which are themed outdoor areas filled with scareactors whose only job is to make you jump. You’re not safe anywhere.

If you need a break from the terror of Halloween Horror Nights, you can catch one of the outrageous live shows, enjoy some themed food and drinks (liquid courage, anyone?), or even hop on some of the park’s regular rides, which remain open during the event. There’s nothing quite like riding a roller coaster in the dark with screams echoing all around you. So, are you ready to face the fear?
