Key Takeaways
Themed Haunted Houses
Haunted houses are the main event at Halloween Horror Nights.
Each year, the twisted creative team at Universal Orlando plans a variety of themed haunted houses based on the biggest names in horror. As of right now, only two HHN houses have been announced.
This year’s lineup includes:
Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control - You'll get caught in the middle of two "icons of terror", Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow, in this haunted house inspired by the wickedly twisted origins of their vicious rivalry.
Sinner - Based on the award-winning original horror film, this haunted house will transport you to a blues bar in 1930's Mississippi being invaded by a crew of bloodthirsty vampires.
Stay tuned for the announcement of more 2026 HHN haunted houses.
