Overall for 2024 Halloween season, Universal Studios Hollywood promises eight all-new movie-quality haunted houses inspired by cinematic greats and eerie original stories. There will also be themed scare zones filled with menacing creatures lurking in the lot and behind the scenes. There will also be a freshened up Terror Tram theme. The separately ticketed event will run from September 5 through to November 3. 

Bookmark this dedicated Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights post as we'll continue to provide the most up-to-date information about the attractions, haunted houses, food, merchandise and ticket opportunities to help with your fall planning. 

Monstruos 2: The Nightmares of Latin America

Monstruos 2: The Nightmares Of Latin America announcement

Following in footsteps of last year's Monstruous: The Monsters of Latin America haunted house, comes the sequel house: Monstruos 2: The Nightmares of Latin America. The official description teases: "You can try to flee the clutches of the rider El Charro, the devil dog El Cadejo and the boogeyman El Cucuy, but you can’t escape La Muerte." 

Halloween Horror Nights creative director John Murdy added a little extra about it on his X account. It will be located in the Parisian Courtyard on the Upper Lot. And these monsters are making a repeat appearance.

"If you were paying attention, and I know you were, you might have noticed that all these characters were featured in a scare zone a few years back," Murdy wrote. "Also by design. We used that as a testing ground for an eventual house (or 2). They all get redesigned for this house!"

Dead Exposure: Death Valley

Halloween Horror Nights presents: Dead Exposure Death Valley.

The first non-IP haunted house announcement of 2024 was revealed to be Dead Exposure: Death Valley. If that sounds familiar, that's because it's inspired by Universal Orlando’s Dead Exposure series. John Murdy, the creative director for Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood, said on X that this house will be located near The Mummy dark ride queue in the Lower Lot and it will be "intense and scary." 

Dead Exposure's official teaser description is: "A secret lab’s attempts to create super soldiers takes a turn for the worse, creating radioactive zombies who escape just as you arrive!"

A Quiet Place

How does Halloween Horror Nights work within the normal park?

If you only purchase a General Admission ticket for any of the Universal Studios theme parks, you must exit at closing time on Halloween Horror Nights dates. If you purchase a separate HHN evening ticket or a Day/Night ticket, you can remain in the park from opening to close. Select rides in the general park will still be operational for HHN visitors with their ticket. 

How scary is Halloween Horror Nights?

If you can watch any horror film and not flinch, congrats! You might be the only kind of visitor impervious to Halloween Horror Nights. But for everyone else, it's legit scary. Inside all of the haunted houses, real people will jump out at you, sneak up behind you and shadow you as you try to get from Point A to Point B. There will be scary sounds, special effects, wailing, screaming and general aural discomfort. And if you aren't a fan of blood, just know you will see a lot of (fake) blood everywhere. 

You can purchase your Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights tickets now!
