Two All-New Haunted Houses Announced For Halloween Horror Nights – 'Five Nights at Freddy's' and 'WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks'
Halloween Horror Nights awakens two iconic franchises in all-new terrifying haunted houses inspired by the blockbuster film Five Nights at Freddy's and WWE's legendary The Wyatt Sicks. The horror kicks off at Universal Orlando Resort on Friday, August 29 and atUniversal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 4. Five Nights at Freddy's Guests will fight to survive as they venture through an all-new haunted house inspired by the 2023 hit film Five Nights at Freddy's , Blumhouse's highest-grossing movie to date and an adaptation of the horror videogame phenomenon. Guests will follow in the footsteps of Mike, who was recently fired and desperate for work so that he can keep custody of his little sister, after he accepts a position as a night security guard in an abandoned themed entertainment center: Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. The terror will start as guests navigate the corridors and learn that nothing at Freddy's is what it seems when they encounter the supernatural and become lured into the black heart of an unspeakable nightmare. The journey will bring guests face-to-face with full-scale replicas of the eerie characters from the film—Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and Mr. Cupcake—as they stalk visitors through iconic scenes, including the security room and the showroom where the chilling characters performed. The larger-than-life characters for the haunted houses were created in collaboration with Jim Henson's Creature Shop, who also masterfully produced the animatronics and corresponding costumes for the fan-favorite film. WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks Guests will be immersed in the world of WWE in the bi-coastal haunted houses 'WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks,' where they will go head-to-head with Uncle Howdy in an experience that not only features The Wyatt Sicks but honors the legacy of Bray Wyatt. The group derives from the creative mind of Bray Wyatt and was resurrected in 2024 by his brother Bo Dallas, also known as Uncle Howdy – the fearless leader of The Wyatt Sicks. The chilling crew of five has quickly emerged as one of the most disturbing and disruptive groups in WWE history with its ominous presence and portrayal of dark and twisted characters – all of which will come to life at Halloween Horror Nights this fall. Horror fans brave enough to travel through the light of the lantern will find themselves transported into the maniacal minds of The Wyatt Sicks, where each member reigns supreme within their own horrific domains. There, Uncle Howdy together with Ramblin Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch and Huskus the Pig will be waiting to take bloody retribution on a world that has abandoned them. Along the way, guests will be stalked by the eerie presence of The Fiend, Bray's sadistic alter ego, who looms within the shadows and beckons them to let him in. Tickets are now on sale for Halloween Horror Nights at both theme park destinations. Below highlights the variety ticket options available for purchase to attend the event Clint Gamache is the owner of ThrillGeek. He started ThrillGeek to share his love of theme/amusement parks and pop culture with the world. You can find him at Halloween Horror Nights.

Halloween Horror Nights Welcomes ‘Five Nights At Freddy's' And WWE
Halloween Horror Nights unleashes all-new haunted house 'Five Nights at Freddy's.' Iconic titans of terror, Five Nights at Freddy's and WWE's The Wyatt Sicks, are heading to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. The immersive houses for both massive IPs will feature at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort. Fans of Five Nights at Freddy's, or FNAF as it is also known, will venture through an all-new haunted house inspired by the 2023 hit film, following in the footsteps of Mike, played by Josh Hutcherson in the movie, after he take as the night security guard in the abandoned themed entertainment center, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. That's where terrifying chaos ensues. As brave ticket holders find their way through the corridors, they quickly learn that nothing is what it seems. As they move through the building, they will "encounter the supernatural and become lured into the black heart of an unspeakable nightmare," coming face-to-face with full-scale replicas of the eerie characters from the film - Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and Mr. Cupcake. They will stalk guests as they pass through recreations of classic scenes and locations such as the security room and the showroom where the characters performed. Much like Xanathar in the Dungeons and Dragons: Secrets of Waterdeep experience during Universal Studios Hollywood's inaugural Fan Fest Nights, FNAF's larger-than-life characters have been created in collaboration with Jim Henson's Creature Shop. They also masterfully produced the animatronics and costumes for the fan-favorite film, so it doesn't get more authentic than that. Blumhouse's Five Nights at Freddy's movie, based on another widely popular videogame IP that inspired a hit movie, grossed $291.49 million at the worldwide box office in 2023. The sequel will land in theaters on Friday, December 5, 2025. WWE Enters The Halloween Horror Nights Ring When fans have taken a break after scaring themselves silly in Five Nights at Freddy's, they can head to WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks. That's where they will "go head-to-head with Uncle Howdy in an experience that not only features The Wyatt Sicks but honors the legacy of Bray Wyatt." Fans will already be aware of this, but for those who aren't, with its portrayal of dark and twisted characters, the five-strong crew has quickly emerged as one of the most disturbing and disruptive groups in WWE history. Those nightmarish figures are going to manifest at Halloween Horror Nights this spooky season. According to a release, "horror fans brave enough to travel through the light of the lantern will find themselves transported into the maniacal minds of The Wyatt Sicks, where each member reigns supreme within their horrific domains." "There, Uncle Howdy, together with Ramblin' Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch, and Huskus the Pig, will be waiting to take bloody retribution on a world that has abandoned them. Along the way, guests will be stalked by the eerie presence of The Fiend, Bray's sadistic alter ego, who looms within the shadows and beckons them to let him in." Five Nights at Freddy's and WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks are the final two haunted houses to be announced for this year's bicoastal event. Both join an incredibly strong offering that fans are already predicting will be a vintage year for the seasonal scarefest that traditionally draws visitors from around the world. Nightmares Come Alive At Halloween Horror Nights Among the previously announced nightmarish experiences is a blood-soaked haunted house inspired by the gory Terrifier film franchise. It'll feature supernatural entity Art the Clown terrorizing the fictional town of Miles County, New York, and torturing his victims in creative but cruel and "sickeningly sinister ways." Promising "an unfathomable level of gore," guests can expect "a grisly haunted house oozing with a new sense of terror." Elsewhere, legendary slasher icon Jason Voorhees is the star of Jason Universe, which sees the seemingly indestructible killer from the Friday the 13th franchise get his own haunted house at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. The all-original experience will take guests back on "a vengeance tour through the summer camp to see where it all began, from the creaking floorboards of Jason's ramshackle cabin to the decaying main lodge and the eerie forest that offers no refuge for his victims." Also featuring at this year's Halloween Horror Nights is a house inspired by Fallout, Prime Video's acclaimed smash hit show. Ahead of the series' second season premiere, the immersive Fallout attraction will transport fans into iconic scenes and put them face-to-face with their characters on a journey from Vault 33 to the Wasteland. Terror returns in 'Scarecrow: Music by Slash' and 'Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America' at ... More Universal Studios Hollywood. Fan Favorites Get A Terrifying Refresh At Halloween Horror Nights In Hollywood In terms of original mazes not based on IPs, two fan-favorite mazes evolve this year. At Universal Studios Hollywood, 2022's Scarecrow: The Reaping gets a revamp and a new name, returning as Scarecrow: Music by Slash. Set to a soundtrack created by the rock icon, his seventh consecutive year providing a score for a Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights haunted house, Mother Nature "seeks vengeance on the homesteaders for their sins of the past that will be carried out by farmland scarecrows, mute witnesses who have become the guardians of destruction for anyone who crosses their path." Meanwhile, La Llorona headlines the final entry in a trilogy of terror, Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America, a haunted house with a narrative based on Latin American folklore. In addition to the legendary Weeping Woman, the Colombian female boogeyman, the sharp-toothed La Muelona, and the horse-headed La Siguanaba will also feature to scare the bejesus out of visitors. We're now in gushing distance of Halloween Horror Nights. It kicks off at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 4, 2025. However, Universal Orlando Resort gets the ball rolling a little earlier on Friday, August 29, 2025. Tickets are now on sale.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will have ‘a lot more' terrifying animatronics, Josh Hutcherson teases
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will have 'a lot more animatronics' and 'bigger set pieces', Josh Hutcherson has teased. The 32-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as Mike Schmidt in the upcoming horror sequel - which is based on developer Scott Cawthon's indie horror video game franchise of the same name - and Hutcherson has now said that Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will be scarier than the original 2023 movie. Director Emma Tammi added there would be 'more than three times as many animatronics' in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 when compared to the first flick, and said the upcoming movie would be more action-centred than the original. Speaking on a panel for the film at San Diego Comic-Con, she said: 'There's so much more action in this one ... with the animatronics and that was incredibly exciting. 'I personally have become so invested in [these characters] and it was just an incredible opportunity to continue to get to tell their stories and expand on them.' As well as Hutcherson's Mike Schmidt, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will see the return of his sister Abby (Piper Rubio), police officer Vanessa Shelley (Elizabeth Lail) and the sinister William Afton (Matthew Lillard). The movie will also introduce Scream star Skeet Ulrich, Mckenna Grace and Wayne Knight. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will pick up after the events of the first movie, which saw Mike Schmidt (Hutcherson) take on a new night guard job at the reopened Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, only to discover that the animatronics have a life of their own at night. As the nights grow more terrifying, he must uncover the restaurant's dark history to survive. Reflecting on the sequel, Hutcherson detailed the developed relationship Mike shares with his sister Abby, and teased that their bond was 'super strong' in the film. The Hunger Games star said: 'Mike and Abby went through a lot in the first movie, and I think Mike is just wanting to get back to somewhat of a normal life, and he's trying to provide stability for Abby. 'He's trying to find his way in the world. He just wants to have a calm, nice, normal life, but that just can't happen in FNAF. 'He's got all this trauma and stuff that he's lived through in the first film in that story, and he's just trying to fake it till you make it without fully working through all that stuff that happened, and then it happens to him again. Poor Mike!' Looking to the future, Lillard teased a third Five Nights at Freddy's movie could happen if the second movie - which hits screens on December 5, 2025 - is a success. He said: 'If it's a hit, they're gonna make a third movie, and if they make a third movie, I get to kill Mike Schmidt … it's going to be cinematic magic!' Blumhouse Productions boss Jason Blum added: 'If enough people go … we'd be very excited to make a Five Nights at Freddy's 3.'

2025's Most Anticipated Horror Sequel Just Got Its First Trailer, And It Might Be Even Scarier
Universal Studios and Blumhouse Productions just released the trailer for their latest horror sequel. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will reintroduce Josh Hutcherson as a security guard named Mike from the first film. A year after the events of the first movie, Mike and his friends are still reeling from the horrors at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza shop. Meanwhile, locals have turned "Fazfest" into a popular town legend. And Mike's 11-year-old sister Abby, played by Piper Rubio, is "revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy's, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades" Hutcherson says the sequel will be scarier than the first movie. "We're finding the balance right now of building this world and expanding it in a really cool way but also making sure the characters stay really grounded," he said in October. "That's something that I really think that we all fought for in the first film, because this world that was created in Five Nights at Freddy's, it's so out-there." The movie series was adapted from Scott Cawthorn's hit success video game. On a budget of $20 million, the first movie grossed nearly $300 million. "It's so over-the-top and wacky, in a way, that to find the emotional truth of the characters was gonna be what was gonna work. I think the fans are gonna flip for it. It's gonna be a lot of fun with the source. It's gonna be scarier, too, actually," said Hutcherson. Who will star in Five Nights at Freddy's 2? Hutcherson returns alongside co-stars Theodus Crane as Jeremiah and Matthew Lillard as William Afton, plus a handful of new faces. When does Five Nights at Freddy's 2 come out? Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is set to release on December 5, 2025. 2025's Most Anticipated Horror Sequel Just Got Its First Trailer, And It Might Be Even Scarier first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 24, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword
