Halloween Horror Nights 33 Is Universal Orlando Resort’s Largest and Longest Ever
Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights 33 is set to terrorize thrill-seekers with its longest run ever, stretching from August 30 through November 3.
This year’s event promises an unrelenting assault on the senses, featuring a spine-chilling array of scare zones, haunted houses, and a debuting show designed to keep even the bravest souls on edge. As guests step into Halloween Horror Nights 33, they’ll be thrust into five immersive scare zones, each with its nightmarish theme.
Duality of Fear (Front Lot)—This scare zone sets the stage for the nightmarish journey ahead. Upon entry, visitors must choose between two horrifying paths: SINIST3R, a visceral horror experience, or SURR3AL, which plunges them into unearthly terror. Both paths promise to be a gut-wrenching introduction to the frightful festivities.
Demon Queens (Hollywood) – Prepare to be trapped in an otherworldly hellscape dominated by four merciless queens loyal to SURR3AL. This zone will drag you into a twisted realm torn from the darkest recesses of your mind, where fear reigns supreme.
Swamp of The Undead (Central Park) – Venture into the murky backwaters of Louisiana, where zombies emerge from the bog to feast on the unwary. This swamp is the final resting place for those who ventured too far and met a grisly end.
Haunted Houses: A Gauntlet of Terror
Torture Faire (New York) – Step into a gruesome Renaissance fair where medieval torture devices are on display. This zone is not for the faint, as visitors encounter gloriously gory contraptions and meet a horrible fate.
Enter the Blumhouse (San Francisco) – Face off against some of horror’s most disturbing characters, including The Grabber and M3GAN. This new scare zone offers a relentless gauntlet of terror, combining elements from Blumhouse’s most terrifying creations.
The haunted houses at Halloween Horror Nights 33 are the main attraction, each offering a unique blend of fear and excitement. Here’s what awaits:
Slaughter Sinema 2 (Sprung Tent 2) – If you have a penchant for B-movie horror, this house is your ticket. Carey Drive-in presents scenes from various genres, including creature features, grindhouse gore, and spaghetti westerns. It’s a gory homage to classic horror cinema that promises to keep you screaming.
Goblin’s Feast (Sprung Tent 4) – Enter a goblin village where the inhabitants, including bloodthirsty goblins, orcs, and witches, plan a sinister feast. This haunted house is a feast for the senses in the most unsettling way.
Major Sweets Candy Factory (Fast & Furious Location) – What starts as a chaperoned field trip to a candy factory turns nightmarish when the sweet treats transform children into candy-coated killers. This house blends the sweet with the sinister, featuring sharpened candy weapons and a tour gone wrong.
