Hotels near The 10 Haunted Houses of Halloween Horror Nights 35

All 10 haunted houses are new for the 35th anniversary of Universal Orlando Resort and its Halloween event: Stranger Things 5, Sinners, Hellraiser, Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness, Evil Dead Burn, Jack and Oddfellow: Chaos and Control, INVASION: Alien Abduction, H.R. Bloodengutz Presents A Halloween Fright-Tacular, MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals and Cybergoria. Each is a built set you walk through in four to six minutes with live scareactors working the corners.

The wait figures matter more than the themes. Across the 2026 season the houses have averaged 54 minutes, with Ozzy Osbourne at 85 minutes and Sinners at 76, while Stranger Things 5 and Hellraiser run around 41 and 42. On opening night Ozzy peaked at 130 minutes. There is no virtual queue for houses; every one is a physical standby line, and the Universal Orlando app shows live times. Clearing all 10 in a single night without early entry or an Express Pass is not realistic.

Event nights run Wednesday to Sunday through September and close to nightly in October, opening at 6:30 p.m. and closing at 1 a.m. on weeknights or 2 a.m. on peak weekends. Single-night tickets start at 88 USD, roughly 76 EUR, on value weeknights and climb past 130 USD in the last two weeks of October. September Wednesdays and Thursdays are the cheapest and quietest nights with the full lineup open.

Pro Tip: Buy a Scream Early ticket for 70 USD on a weekday and walk in at 2 p.m. Three houses open then, Stranger Things 5, Hellraiser and Jack and Oddfellow, and you can finish all three before general admission arrives, for well under half the 170 to 280 USD an Express Pass costs.
