Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2026 features Fortnite scare zone, Evil Dead Burn house

Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood will host Halloween Horror Nights 35 from August 28 to November 1 2026 (Orlando) and September 3 to November 1 2026 (Hollywood). The lineup celebrates the event’s 35th anniversary with new attractions, including a Fortnite‑themed scare zone called “Freaky Fields” that brings the game’s Fortnitemares battle bus, characters and exclusive merchandise to the park.

A new haunted house based on the latest film Evil Dead Burn will immerse guests in the Price family’s haunted vacation home, featuring Deadites and themed merchandise such as T‑shirts, hats and acrylic figures. Other announced houses cover Hellraiser, Stranger Things 5, Sinners and the “Infernal Carnival of Nightmares” starring Jack the Clown and Dr Oddfellow.

Universal also announced higher prices for its 2026 multi‑night Fear Passes – Rush of Fear now costs $229.99 and Frequent Fear $274.99, with the Express bundle removed. New early‑entry options include “Stay & Scream,” allowing daytime ticket holders to roam selected haunted houses from 2 p.m. until the official start at 6:30 p.m., and a separate “Scream Early” ticket for guests without daytime admission.
