Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights is set to launch two all-new haunted houses inspired by major horror properties: Five Nights at Freddy’s and WWE’s The Wyatt Sicks. The event begins August 29 at Universal Orlando Resort and September 4 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Based on the hit 2023 Blumhouse film, Five Nights at Freddy’s will invite guests to step into Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria and relive the story of Mike, a desperate night security guard who takes a job guarding an abandoned entertainment center. As visitors explore iconic scenes like the security room and showroom, they will encounter full-scale replicas of Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and Mr. Cupcake. The haunted house features animatronics and costumes created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, mirroring the film’s detailed production design.

Meanwhile, WWE makes its Halloween Horror Nights debut with WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks. This immersive house pays tribute to the creative legacy of Bray Wyatt and brings the twisted world of The Wyatt Sicks to life. Led by Uncle Howdy, the group includes Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch, Ramblin Rabbit, and Huskus the Pig. Guests will navigate a fractured landscape where each member controls their own terrifying domain. The Fiend, Bray Wyatt’s haunting alter ego, will linger in the shadows throughout.
