Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2026 – Ozzy House

Entities: Universal Studios Hollywood · Ozzy Osbourne · Universal Studios Orlando · Sharon Osbourne · Jack Osbourne

Overview

Universal Orlando’s 35th‑anniversary Halloween Horror Nights will feature the newly announced “Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness” haunted house. The attraction opens on August 28 at Universal Orlando Resort and on September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood, running through November 1, 2026. Billed as a “living horror movie,” it weaves Ozzy’s music, lyrics and persona across immersive sets that differ between the two parks—Orlando’s version moves through ancient ruins and dungeons before boarding the Crazy Train, while Hollywood’s journey starts in Birmingham and ends in an Osbourne Asylum inspired by the *Diary of a Madman* album.

The house pays tribute to the late heavy‑metal icon, who died in July 2025, and spans 45 years of his solo career. Songs from Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman, Bark at the Moon, No More Tears, Scream and Ordinary Man feature prominently, opening with “Crazy Train.” Sharon and Jack Osbourne have endorsed the tribute, and executive producer John Murdy said it honors Ozzy’s cultural impact. The family helped design the experience, which guides guests through scenes from his Birmingham childhood to iconic album‑cover imagery. Limited merchandise tied to the attraction is available, and tickets are sold separately from regular park admission.
