Universal Studios Hollywood Unveils Halloween Horror Nights 2025 Dates and More

Halloween Horror Nights 2025 may seem far away, but it's never too early to plan your spooky trip to Universal Hollywood. 

By Tyler McCarthy

While most are currently getting in the Holiday spirit, it’s never too early for horror fans to plan around their biggest event of the year — Halloween Horror Nights. That’s why Universal Studios Hollywood officially unveiled its dates for Halloween Horror Nights 2025 and a slew of other upcoming events so that fans can prepare their year. 

Last year, fans of the movie-quality frights that drop in the form of horrifying Haunted Houses, spooky Scare Zones, and countless food and merchandise opportunities were delighted to learn that HHN was happening earlier and for longer than ever before. However, in 2025, Universal Studios Hollywood looks to up the ante by an entire day, kicking off the spookiest event of the year for most of September, all of October, and even some of November. 

When is Halloween Horror Nights 2025 in Universal Studios Hollywood?

Halloween Horror Nights 2025 begins on September 4, 2025, and goes all the way through November 2025 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

As mentioned, this is a full day earlier than last year and will mark the longest HHN event to date. So, you and your friends and family have more time than ever to experience the thrills and chills that Halloween Horror Nights has to offer in 2025. 

Sadly, we don’t know yet what Haunted Houses and other themes will be available next year, but once the information starts rolling in, we’ll be sure to keep horror fans posted. 

Other Universal Studios Hollywood 2025 Events
