Halloween Horror Nights unveils 2025 lineup featuring Fallout Terrifier Five Nights at Freddy's

Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood stage a bigger, louder Halloween Horror Nights in 2025, with new experiences like roving zombie carhops and a DJ dance zone joining the classic IP driven houses. The lineup spans Fallout, Terrifier, Five Nights at Freddy’s, Friday the 13th and more, with both coasts sharing several themes while each park adds its own twists.

Fallout House uses a montage approach across time, letting visitors move through The Ghoul and raiders while a 1950s inspired soundtrack sets the mood. Five Nights at Freddy’s brings life size animatronics created with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, including a fully animated Freddy Fazbear and a showroom that mirrors the film’s atmosphere. Other experiences include WWE’s The Wyatt Sicks and a Terror Tram that builds on Blumhouse favorites for a cross country thrill ride. The two parks promise a shared, yet distinct, horror journey that leans into storytelling as much as scares.

The lineup signals a shift toward IP heavy experiences, with major cross media partnerships and a push to expand the park world beyond the traditional maze. The use of time driven structure in Fallout suggests a new approach to pacing scares across a single house, while the mix of big animatronics and live action sequences shows a commitment to spectacle.

But the emphasis on familiar franchises carries a risk of fatigue if novelty is not paired with surprise. The collaboration across Orlando and Hollywood demonstrates operational strength, but it could raise expectations that each park must meet at a higher level to satisfy dedicated fans. The focus on tech and scale also raises questions about crowd flow, safety, and the balance between awe and intimacy in a haunted experience.

The night will be louder, brighter, and more personal than ever before.
