Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2026: Ozzy Tribute & Lineu

Overview

Universal Orlando’s 35th-anniversary Halloween Horror Nights will feature the “Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness” haunted house, opening August 28 at Universal Orlando Resort and September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood. The attraction, a tribute to the late heavy-metal icon who died in July 2025, spans 45 years of his career and includes music from albums like *Blizzard of Ozz* and *Bark at the Moon*. Sharon and Jack Osbourne helped design the experience, which they described as reflecting the “strange, dark and unforgettable” world of the musician. New details regarding the Ozzy tribute reveal themed zones such as a “Crazy Train” ride and a dungeon based on “Patient Number 9,” with imagery inspired by albums including *No More Tears*. At Universal Studios Hollywood, the event will also introduce themed food and beverage options, including specialty items at “Ozzy’s Bar.” Following an online leak of details regarding the Ozzy tribute, Universal appeared to accelerate its announcement schedule. The 2026 event lineup has since expanded to include ten haunted houses and various scare zones. New attractions include original concepts such as “MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals,” “Cybergoria,” and “H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular!” IP-based houses include *Hellraiser*—featuring the voice of Doug Bradley as Pinhead—*Stranger Things 5*, *Killer Klowns from Outer Space*, *Sinners*, *Evil Dead Burn*, *The Purge*, and *Terrifier*. Recent updates also confirm the inclusion of *Fortnite* and an attraction titled “Obsession.” At Universal Orlando, the “Deathly Afraid” necklace is returning. This $20 light-up accessory allows guests to signal to scareactors in common areas that they prefer not to be directly targeted, though it does not provide protection inside the haunted houses. In addition to the U.S. attractions, Universal Studios Japan has announced its 2026 Halloween season, running from September 10 to November 8.
