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.

Alongside AEW All In, the WWE are set to run three events this weekend - NXT Great American Bash, Saturday Night's Main Event and WWE Evolution II. But before then - what's in store on the blue brand and what time will it start in the UK this evening? Will the spirit of Bray Wyatt permeate the blue brand's tag team division by the end of this evening's WWE Friday Night Smackdown? Ahead of a hectic weekend of events across the board, the stable gets their chance to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championship when they take on current holders The Street Profits this evening. We don't expect it to be a clean fight – owing to the other members of the tag division taking umbrage with Uncle Howdy et al. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad There's also set to be a match between two WWE superstars that have seen tensions between themselves – and a third party – elevated over recent weeks, and a Grammy-Award winner is to make an appearance this evening; watch out, Austin Theory. Here's your preview for WWE Friday Night Smackdown on July 11, 2025, the UK start time, and what events are also taking place throughout this weekend. What's been confirmed for WWE Friday Night Smackdown so far? WWE Tag Team Championship: The Street Profits (c) v The Wyatt Sicks The Wyatt Sicks finally get their chance to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championships after weeks of terrorizing the tag vision on tonight's WWE Smackdown. | WWE After weeks of animosity within the tag team division, your current champions The Street Profits are set to defend the titles against the supernatural, unnerving Wyatt Sicks. Uncle Howdy and his crew have been terrifying the Smackdown tag division for weeks now, leading to an uneasy truce between some of the other teams (DIY, Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom and The Street Profits) in order to 'eliminate' that threat. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But is it all a plan to see the current champions softened up for 'easy pickings' by one of the other contenders and what happens if The Wyatt Sicks pick up the title and reign over the division Ron Killings v Aleister Black After jumping John Cena and eschewing being 'R-Truth' in favour of being true to himself, Ron Killings is set to take on Aleister Black - who hasn't taken too kindly to Killings. In recent weeks, Black has turned his attention to Killings finding him, for lack of a better phrase, somewhat of an annoyance. But that tension has also led to something brewing between himself and Damien Priest - who after supporting Killings during his time in The Judgement Day, once again finds himself defending the erratic superstar. Will Priest make his presence known tonight if things go too far? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Music star Jelly Roll to appear on Smackdown Grammy-Award winner Jelly Roll is also advertised to be appearing on WWE Smackdown this evening; the last time we saw the superstar in the ring was at SummerSlam 2024, when (unfortunately) Austin Theory received a chokeslam for… well… Grayson Waller's troubles. There is a rumour that Jelly Roll could be involved in this year's two-night SummerSlam PLE, so perhaps the ball starts rolling after his appearance this evening? What time is WWE Smackdown screening in the UK this evening? We're back to being night owls once again, as the latest episode of WWE Friday Night Smackdown is set to air on Netflix from 1am BST on July 13 2025, with repeat screening on-demand shortly after broadcast. Remember also that WWE Smackdown is only two hours from here on in - so it's not too late to stay up to watch on a Friday night. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I heard it's a busy weekend for wrestling - what's coming up over the next few days? Former WCW champion Bill Goldberg will be wrestling what is anticipated to be his retirement match at the weekend's WWE Saturday Night Main Event. | WWE Yes it is - if you're a fan of the WWE or AEW, this weekend is going to be a huge one for both companies. AEW is presenting its annual PPV, All In, with the big match this year set to be a AEW Heavyweight Championship match between current champion/belt hostage taker Jon Moxley against 'Hangman' Adam Page in a Texas Death Match. That show will start at 8pm BST and will be available to purchase through Amazon Prime Video. At the same time, the WWE's third brand, NXT, presents their latest PLE, Great American Bash, with the show set to be headlined by Oba Femi v Yoshiki Inamura for the NXT Championship - which will air on Netflix in the United Kingdom. Bill Goldberg will challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in what is being billed as his 'last' match when he faces Gunther at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, which will screen live through the WWE's YouTube channel from 1am BST on July 13 2025.

What's next for the Wyatt Sicks? 3 possible storylines WWE could explore after the Bo Dallas-led faction's return on SmackDown
The Wyatt Sicks finally made their WWE return on the May 23 episode of SmackDown during the main event. It had been nearly five months since we last saw the dark faction led by Bo Dallas as Uncle Howdy. But on what would have been Bray Wyatt's 38th birthday, the eerie group showed up in the middle of the tag team title match between the Street Profits and Fraxiom. As chaos broke out at ringside between DIY and the Motor City Machine Guns, the lights suddenly went out and the Wyatt Sicks returned with a haunting sound. When the lights came back on, they had already attacked everyone. The show ended with Uncle Howdy blowing out the candle on a cake meant to honour his late brother Bray. Their surprise comeback left a message, meaning that nobody is safe. But what's next for the Wyatt Sicks? Here are three storylines WWE might explore in the coming weeks. Going after the SmackDown Tag-Team division The Wyatt Sicks didn't just attack the champions or a single team, rather they targeted the entire tag division. In the main event, the Street Profits were defending their titles against Fraxiom. DIY had interfered and were brawling with the Motor City Machine Guns at ringside. Suddenly, the lights went out, and when they came back on, all four teams were laid out by the returning faction. THE WYATT SICKS HAVE RETURNED TO WWE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥#SmackDown This suggests that Uncle Howdy's group may be eyeing tag team gold. They might not follow the usual rules of earning title shots. Instead, they could demand a place in the tag title picture by force. WWE could now book a chaotic fatal four-way or even a five-team tag match at Money in the Bank involving all the teams that were attacked, turning this into a high-stakes, multi-team feud. The Wyatt Sicks entering the tag title scene would be a way to give the division a darker tone and a fresh twist. Getting involved in Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair's story Before Bray Wyatt's passing, Alexa Bliss had a deep storyline with him that left her character scarred. Recently, she returned with hints of aligning with the darker side again. On May 17's SmackDown, Alexa had an intense backstage moment that unsettled Charlotte Flair, who warned her not to go down that road again. Alexa's eerie behaviour seemed to tease a possible reunion with Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks. Alexa Bliss encountering Charlotte backstage She's such a troll 😭😭#SmackDown With the Wyatt Sicks now back, WWE might finally move forward with the storyline they had planned before WrestleMania which is Alexa aligning with the faction. Charlotte, standing in opposition, could become their first big feud. That creates a personal and psychological storyline between Flair and Bliss, with the Wyatt Sicks acting as Alexa's protectors or even mind controllers. It would be a unique way to blend past trauma with current feuds, something WWE hasn't done well in a long time. Targeting heels who have betrayed their allies The Wyatt Sicks are not your regular faction. They work with symbolism and destruction. On their return, they didn't choose sides between babyfaces and heels. They attacked everyone. But one possible route WWE could take is positioning them as vigilantes of the locker room. Uncle Howdy and his group could go after superstars who have betrayed friends or used manipulation for their rise. Montez Ford reaction to seeing the Wyatt Sicks had me crying man 😭#SmackDown In recent months, characters like Drew McIntyre, Dominik Mysterio, or even Santos Escobar have stabbed people in the back. The Wyatt Sicks could start hunting such superstars, tearing through anyone who has turned on their allies. This would give them a mysterious purpose and allow them to show up unpredictably across Raw and SmackDown. They wouldn't be tied to just one division or title, making them a threat to everyone. This kind of angle would keep their motives vague but terrifying. The group's presence would force every superstar to watch their back. It would also protect them from overexposure by allowing the creative team to build suspense around each attack.
