Universal's Hellraiser Haunted House Debuts at Halloween Horror Nights 2026
Universal Parks announced that the cult‑classic Hellraiser franchise will be featured for the first time at Halloween Horror Nights 2026. New haunted houses based on the original trilogy will open at Universal Orlando Resort on August 28 and at Universal Studios Hollywood on September 3, running on select nights through November 1.
The attractions recreate key locations from the films—including the Lament Configuration puzzle box, Frank Cotton’s attic, the Channard Institute and the Labyrinth—where guests encounter the Cenobites and Pinhead. Original Pinhead actor Doug Bradley will provide the character’s voice. Limited‑edition merchandise such as a T‑shirt and a Pinhead acrylic figure will be sold from July 1. Tickets and vacation packages are already on sale, and Universal is promoting its Frequent Fear Pass options for repeat visits. Additional haunted houses, including Sinners and Stranger Things, will be announced later in the summer.
