The world of Hawkins is returning to Halloween Horror Nights, as Universal Studios has announced all-new haunted houses based on the fifth and final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things. Guests at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood will step into the latest chapter of the series when the events begin later this year.
Created in partnership with Netflix, the new experience will place visitors in the middle of the climactic battle to save Hawkins. Drawing from the show’s final season, the haunted houses will recreate memorable moments and locations while featuring familiar characters and creatures from the series.
Guests will travel through recognizable settings including the Wheeler House, Hawkins National Laboratory, the MAC-Z military base, and the dark landscapes of the Upside Down and the Abyss. Along the way, Demogorgons and other supernatural threats await, with Vecna looming over the experience as the story reaches its conclusion.
Universal also revealed a new collection of limited-release merchandise inspired by the attraction. The lineup includes a retro-themed T-shirt, a mug, and a new acrylic figure designed to fit within the separately sold Infernal Carnival collectible display. Additional figures representing this year’s Halloween Horror Nights lineup are expected to be released in the coming months.
Event tickets for both coasts are on sale now, with additional ticket options for Universal Orlando Resort being released soon. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.HalloweenHorrorNights.com.
