Halloween Horror Nights, one of the most popular and terrifying events in the entertainment industry, is preparing to terrify audiences once again in 2023. Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood have announced the addition of two new houses to their already spine-chilling lineup: “The Exorcist: Believer” and “Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count.”
“The Exorcist: Believer” takes inspiration from Universal Pictures’ latest horror film, produced by Blumhouse and Morgan Creek Entertainment. Rather than being based on the original 1973 film, which is considered one of the scariest movies ever made, this haunted house immerses guests in a bustling Haiti street market. Here, a peculiar folk doll with three eyes acts as a catalyst for a demonic presence to manifest. Sinister spirits awaken, and two young girls mysteriously vanish, only to reappear after three days with unsettling behavior. The only hope of stopping their malevolent actions may lie in an exorcism.
On the other hand, the “Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count” house focuses on the iconic killer doll from the popular USA and Syfy television series and cult classic films. For the first time, Chucky takes center stage in his own haunted house, transforming it into a living slaughterhouse. Feeling disregarded by his peers, Chucky embarks on a murderous spree, eliminating anyone who dares to enter his domain. Previous iterations of Halloween Horror Nights featured Chucky in scare zones, but this year he receives his very own terrifying experience.
In addition to these new additions, Universal plans to bring back one of their most beloved IPs with “Universal Monsters: Unmasked.” This house intertwines with Universal’s classic monsters, such as The Invisible Man, the Phantom of the Opera, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Set in the dark and eerie Catacombs of Paris, guests will explore the underground labyrinth, where millions of skeletal remains and sinister secrets reside. Seeking vengeance for the desecration of their resting place, these monsters will make guests tremble in fear. The legendary guitarist and Grammy-winner Slash will once again compose an original score to enhance the chilling ambiance of the Hollywood version of the house.
