Universal Studios Hollywood officially welcomed Halloween Horror Nights on Thursday, drawing large crowds eager to experience the park’s newest haunted houses and scare zones.<\/p>\n
Among the highly anticipated openings is a house inspired by Ryan Coogler\u2019s film \u201cSinners,\u201d which transports visitors into the vampire-infested Club Juke. Another major attraction, \u201cStranger Things 5,\u201d takes guests from Castle Byers into the Upside Down, featuring appearances by Vecna and a Demogorgon battling Karen Wheeler. Additionally, the event marks the Halloween Horror Nights debut of \u201cHellraiser,\u201d alongside returning favorites \u201cKiller Klowns From Outer Space,\u201d \u201cEvil Dead Burn,\u201d and the Slash-curated \u201cKillcea\u00f1era.\u201d<\/p>\n
Queue times reflected the initial surge in attendance. Within half an hour of opening, the wait for the \u201cSinners\u201d house reached 60 minutes, while \u201cHellraiser\u201d saw a 50-minute delay. \u201cKiller Klowns From Outer Space,\u201d \u201cEvil Dead Burn,\u201d and \u201cKillcea\u00f1era: Music by Slash\u201d each had 30-minute waits. The \u201cOzzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness\u201d experience drew a 35-minute line, with \u201cStranger Things 5\u201d and \u201cDead, Deader, Deadest\u201d holding waits of 25 minutes.<\/p>\n
Scare actors also roamed the park, including a blood-soaked version of Nikki from the film \u201cObsession.\u201d Lacking a fixed meeting point, she wanders unpredictably through the crowds, repeating her character\u2019s unsettling declaration of affection before disappearing to seek new victims.<\/p>\n
In the Lower Lot, Universal paid tribute to the late rock legend with Ozzy\u2019s Bar, which saw wait times approach an hour by nightfall. The venue served themed beverages such as the Blizzard of Ozz-arita and Ultimate Sin-ammon, alongside food items like the Bark at the Naan taco. The adjacent Ozzy haunted house featured various manifestations of the musician, including a mad-scientist variant and a demonic bat figure, culminating in a \u201cCrazy Train\u201d scene complete with corpse props set to the hit song.<\/p>\n
The Upper Lot housed the \u201cSinners\u201d house, where characters including Mary, Annie, and Pearline lurk among guests. Nearby, a Fortnite-themed area attracted visitors posing in front of the franchise\u2019s iconic Battle Bus.<\/p>\n
