Halloween Horror Nights 2026 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Brian G.]

Its interesting that the Wolfman just works but they can't make Gill man to

Like the Wolfman is covered in hair and is from what it looks like a full costume like head to toes. You'd think with Gillman they could make a modified version of that


Or do something like they had for the scarezone but make it all green. Anyway, I don't need a full house but including him would be nice

Jerrod, come on.

So the lineup:

-Sinners
-Killceñera
-Ozzy Osbourne
-Evil Dead Burn
-Hellraiser
-Hollywood Harry
-Stranger Things
-Killer Klowns from Outer Space
-Terrifier Tram

Not bad! Sounding like a solid year. I don’t buy some of the locations though. I think Sinners makes far more sense in H-lot than in the UBE especially considering it will be VERY popular.

Should this pan out, there'd be two properties I'd super excited about (Sinners and Hellraiser), two I'll likely enjoy but could also live without (Terrifier Tram and Hollywood Harry), and the rest I barely care about at all.

While I've enjoyed the Latin themed mazes, they're starting to feel pretty repetitive to me as well as a near-deliberate snub of anything Asian Horror related (which is such a huge genre... Knott's has had Asian themed mazes, so don't tell me it can't be done). The omission is getting pretty glaring.

Its hard because of the local culture I get it but also they should for sure try Asian Horror next. I know its somewhat different but Anime is killing it at fan fest, so if done right could be another market your hitting that brings in new people to the event

With the plaza as well being used for Mexican food, I wonder if its just something the USH team thinks just works so keeps doing it.

Anyway, would love them to give us an eastern themed scarezone and then make it a house like Holidays in hell

They should do a K-Horror themed house. Either adapt a movie or a folk legend or do a "Trickster from DBD but with a different name" house.

That having been said, the proposed theme for this year sounds like more of a slasher vs a folklore maze, so it's different enough from the other year's to get me excited.

I would literally fly over the moon if Universal did any J-Horror (The Grudge, The Ring, Pulse, ect.)

They have done Sadako over in USJ a few times, so it can be done. They just need an audience.

For better or worse, I think the popularity of J-Horror and K-Horror in SoCal is more IP-based than Latin Horror is. In particular, Mexican Horror folklore is a long oral history that is woven into the fiber of SoCal in a way that Asian Horror isn’t.

I would say that for that reason if Asian horror was to come, they would want to try something smaller in scale first (like a scarezone, which could happen this year since no one knows yet). Or, something more established (an IP-based Asian horror house, which I could see in the near future).
