Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights tips for scaredy cats
You don't have to like haunted houses to have fun at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights.
Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights 2025 is shaping up to be one for the gamers.
Just days after revealing that "Five Nights at Freddy's" is coming to this year's after-hours event on both coasts, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort announced, 'For the first time ever, horror fans will step into the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Prime Video's 'Fallout.'"
Like "Five Nights at Freddy's" and 2023's The Last of Us house, "Fallout" began as a popular video game franchise.
Thursday's house announcement comes on the same day as HHN tickets going on sale for both Orlando and Hollywood.
Here's everything we know so far about this year's Halloween Horror Nights.
Universal's first 'Fallout' house
This new house, like its namesake show and Bethesda Game Studios video game franchise before it, is set centuries after a devastating nuclear war ravages the landscape, mutates creatures and forces humans to live in underground vaults.
'The journey begins beneath the surface in Vault 33, where guests follow vault-dweller Lucy MacLean as she escapes a bloody massacre, only to discover an evil hidden secret,' according to Universal. 'From there, visitors venture to the surface, where they must dodge attacks from Scavengers and Raiders, desperate survivors who will do anything to remain alive, as well as mutated cockroaches known as RAD Roaches.'
As fans travel through a three-dimensional Wasteland, they will meet familiar "Fallout" settings like Super Duper Mart, 'The Ghoul, an ageless bounty hunter who has endured radiation exposure for centuries,' and a squire named Maximus equipped with T-60 armor.
'Five Nights at Freddies' surprises
It's not yet clear what Universal has planned for 'Five Nights at Freddies," only sharing that it's "coming in a whole new way' with 'more details coming soon.'
First a video game and book series, then a 2023 Blumhouse and Universal Pictures film with a sequel due to premiere this December, "Five Nights at Freddy's" follows animatronics from an abandoned children's pizza restaurant that come to life and kill.
Universal has featured several Blumhouse films in Halloween Horror Nights experiences in recent years.
Start date of Halloween Horror Nights
This year's Halloween Horror Nights will start a day earlier than last year, on both coasts.
Orlando's event will be held on 48 nights:
Aug. 29-31
Sept. 3-7, 10-14, 16, 17, 19-21, 24-28
Oct. 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-31
Nov. 1, 2
Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights will begin Sept. 4:
Sept. 4-7, 11-14, 18-21, 25-28
Oct. 2-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-31
Nov. 1, 2
How much does it cost to go to Halloween Horror Nights?
In a break from recent years, neither event is raising its starting ticket price this year.
Single-night HHN tickets start at $82.99 for Orlando and $77 for Hollywood, the same as last year.
Multi-night passes are also available.
Halloween Horror Nights is a separately ticketed event that is not included with standard park admission.
What does Halloween Horror Nights consist of?
Halloween Horror Nights is best known for its immersive themed houses and open-air scare zones.
Each year, a few themes span both coasts, though they may be executed differently. Last year's shared themes were A Quiet Place, Insidious: The Further, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines.
Remaining house and scare-zone themes are location-specific. Orlando usually has more houses – 10 this year – and leans into more original content, while Hollywood tends to embrace more intellectual property. Hollywood is also the only place guests can experience the Terror Tram, an HHN-specific twist on the World-Famous Studio Tour.
Both events offer live entertainment, themed food, and access to select park attractions with generally shorter wait times than during the day
How scary is Universal Halloween Horror Nights?
Scary is subjective. Some guests aren't phased at all. Others can barely stand to open their eyes.
Most guests are somewhere in between, enjoying a good scare in a safe space.
Don't you dare look scared: How to survive Universal's Halloween Horror Nights
Can the actors touch you at Halloween Horror Nights?
They're not supposed to touch you. They may accidentally brush against you in a crowded scare zone, but they won't reach out and touch you on purpose.
By the same token, guests should never touch scareactors, which is what Universal calls HHN actors.
What can you not wear to Halloween Horror Nights?
Guests are not allowed to wear costumes or costume masks at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights. Universal Studios Hollywood has its own costume policy but also bans costume masks.
Does HHN have an age limit?
No, but the event's webpage says it 'may be too intense for young children and is not recommended for children under the age of 13.'

‘Fantastic Four' wins big with $40 million, while ‘Bad Guys 2' steals second from ‘Naked Gun' in box-office shake-up
Update Aug. 3, 2025: Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps is running circles around its competition at the box office. The superhero reboot continued its box-office dominance in its second weekend, bringing in $40 million for a solid hold at number one. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film has now amassed nearly $200 million domestically and further cements Marvel's ability to pull audiences into its deep roster of characters. While industry insiders had initially projected $45 million over the Aug. 1–3 weekend, the actual figure remains impressive, showcasing robust audience engagement even in its sophomore frame. It was a different story in the battle for second place. Universal's The Bad Guys 2 lived up to expectations and managed to leap over Paramount's The Naked Gun, settling into the number two spot with a solid $22 million. Early projections suggested the animated caper might trail slightly behind Liam Neeson's slapstick reboot, but family audiences appear to be driving strong returns thanks to positive word-of-mouth. While $22 million is slightly lower than its predecessor's opening weekend in 2022, the sequel shows potential to enjoy steady legs in the quieter weeks ahead. More from Gold Derby '28 Years Later,' Chappell Roan, and 'Final Destination': Everything to check out this weekend (Aug. 1-3) Jimmy Kimmel campaigns for Stephen Colbert via Emmys billboard: "I'm voting for Stephen" Meanwhile, The Naked Gun stumbled out of the gate, debuting in third place with $17 million — below its $25 million projection and well short of its franchise-best aspirations. Despite promising reviews (including a 92 percent Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes), audiences seemed less enthused about revisiting Police Squad's antics. Whether this underperformance reflects a disconnect between nostalgia-driven marketing and modern audience expectations remains to be seen. Paramount will be banking on overseas markets to help bolster its global total. Elsewhere, longtime holdovers Superman and Jurassic World Rebirth rounded out the top five with $13.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively. For Superman, that figure pushes its domestic tally past $300 million, making it one of the biggest hits of the summer. Meanwhile, Universal's dinosaur epic continues to claw its way upward, but its fifth-weekend drop suggests its theatrical run may be entering its twilight. In limited release, Neon's Together, starring real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, delivered a solid debut with $6.8 million. The supernatural body-horror film achieved this figure while screening in limited markets nationwide, indicating strong audience interest and setting it up for wider expansion in the weeks ahead. Original story published Aug. 1, 2025: The Marvel universe is still flexing its muscles this weekend as Disney's The Fantastic Four: First Steps powers through its second weekend at the box office. Directed by Matt Shakman, the reboot of Marvel's First Family is projected to earn $45 million over the Aug. 1–3 weekend — securing the top spot and extending the studio's box-office reign. But the real showdown this weekend isn't for first place — it's for second. Paramount's slapstick reboot The Naked Gun and Universal's animated sequel The Bad Guys 2 are neck-and-neck in what's shaping up to be one of the most competitive matchups of the summer. According to the latest projections, The Naked Gun is currently edging out its animated rival with a projected $25 million debut, marking the best opening ever for the franchise. For comparison, the original 1988 movie brought in $9 million during its opening weekend, while The Naked Gun 2 1/2 debuted with $20 million in 1991, and Naked Gun 33 1/3 opened to $13 million in 1994. Directed by Akiva Schaffer, The Naked Gun stars Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr., the bumbling son of the original franchise's iconic lead, Leslie Nielsen. He's joined by a supporting cast that includes Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, and Danny Huston. With a certified fresh 92 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the reboot has impressed critics and looks set to win over fans as well. Meanwhile, The Bad Guys 2, the follow-up to 2022's sleeper hit, is projected to bring in around $22 million, landing it in third place for the weekend. While still a solid showing, this number falls short of earlier tracking, which had the film opening in the $26 million to $35 million range. The original Bad Guys debuted with $23.95 million before going on to earn a strong $97.5 million domestically. While the sequel's lower-than-expected start may raise eyebrows, strong word-of-mouth and limited competition for family audiences could fuel its legs in the weeks ahead. Rounding out the top five are two summer holdovers: Superman, which is expected to bring in about $15 million over the weekend and cross the $300 million domestic milestone, and Jurassic World Rebirth, projected to earn around $8 million in its fifth weekend of release. Outside the top five, Together — a supernatural body-horror thriller starring real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie — will debut in limited theaters this weekend. Distributed by Neon and backed by Sundance buzz — including a 91 percent Rotten Tomatoes score — the film is expected to open in higher single digits over the weekend. The debut positions Together as a low‑key counter-programming alternative to the summer's big tentpoles.

Box Office: ‘Jurassic World Rebirth' Surpasses $750 Million, ‘F1' Becomes Brad Pitt's Highest-Grossing Movie Ever
'Jurassic World Rebirth' keeps roaring at the box office with ticket sales clearing the $750 million milestone over the weekend. Universal's dinosaur tentpole, which rebooted the pre-historic series with Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali at the helm, has grossed $766 million globally after five weekends of release. It's one of three Hollywood films this year — Disney's 'Lilo & Stitch' ($1 billion) and Warner Bros. 'A Minecraft Movie' ($955 million) are the other two — to clear the $750 million mark so far. International audiences have been particularly enthusiastic, with overseas revenues contributing a massive $448 million to the total bounty. United Kingdom and Ireland ($42 million), Mexico ($34 million) and Germany ($28 million) rank as the top-earning territories. Those are mighty returns, however the latest 'Jurassic' has to keep climbing to near the heights of the prior sequel trilogy led by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, each of which grossed $1 billion globally. More from Variety 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Roars to the Top as U.K.-Ireland July Box Office Climbs 3% 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Lands No. 1 Spot at U.K., Ireland Box Office as 'Saiyaara' Climbs the Chart Korea Box Office: 'Omniscient Reader' Debuts at No. 1, 'Fantastic Four' Bows in Third 'F1' is also staying strong at the box office, surpassing $545 million globally in its sixth lap around the track. With those ticket sales, the racing drama now stands as Brad Pitt's highest-grossing film in history, overtaking the haul of 2013's 'World War Z' ($540 million, not adjusted for inflation). 'F1' had long ago overtaken Martin Scorsese's 'Killers of the Flower Moon' ($158 million worldwide) and Ridley Scott's 'Napoleon' ($221 million) as Apple's largest theatrical film ever. 'Superman' also crossed a notable milestone with $550 million globally, a haul that includes $235 million overseas and $316 million domestically after four weekends. The Warner Bros. and DC comic book adventure has been underperforming at the international box office, at least compared to North America, which has accounted for nearly 60% of returns. (It's usually the inverse for all-audience tentpoles.) So far, the biggest markets have been the U.K. with $32 million, Mexico with $21.8 million and Brazil with $15 million. Meanwhile Disney and Marvel's 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' remained atop international charts with $39.6 million from 52 territories in its second weekend of release, declining 58% from its debut. So far, the superhero adaptation has grossed $368.7 million worldwide, including $170.3 million internationally and $198.4 million in North America. Overseas, the biggest territories are U.K. ($20.5 million), Mexico ($20.4 million) and France ($10.2 million). In terms of newcomers, Universal and DreamWorks Animation's heist comedy 'The Bad Guys 2' landed with $16.3 million from 58 territories. Those ticket sales are slightly ahead of 2022's 'The Bad Guys' in terms of like-for-like markets. Domestically, the sequel debuted to $22.8 million for a global start of $44.5 million. Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson lead the voice cast of 'The Bad Guys 2,' which carries an $80 million price tag and follows the newly reformed baddies as they emerge from retirement to perform one last heist. Another new release, Paramount's 'The Naked Gun' reboot, collected $11.5 million from 46 markets in its opening weekend. The film, starring Liam Neeson as bumbling police detective and Pamela Anderson as his unlikely accomplice, opened to $17 million in North America, bringing its worldwide tally to $28.5 million.
