Universal Orlando has revealed the complete haunted-house lineup for Halloween Horror Nights 35. There are ten houses this year, led by Stranger Things 5, Sinners, Hellraiser, Evil Dead Burn and Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness.
HHN 35 runs for 48 select nights from August 28 through November 1 at Universal Studios Florida. It is a separately ticketed event, and single-night prices change depending on the date.
The full lineup is also live in the ParkBound HHN tracker now. You can keep track of what you finish, pick a favorite and rate the overall experience, scares and theming separately. After at least three signed-in members submit complete scorecards for a house, those ratings will build the ParkBound Index during the event.
All ten HHN 35 houses
Five houses are based on movies, television or music:
- Stranger Things 5 follows the final season into Hawkins with Demogorgons, the Mind Flayer and Vecna.
- Sinners brings the Smokestack Twins' juke joint and its vampires to HHN.
- Hellraiser is based on the original film trilogy, with Pinhead and the Cenobites.
- Evil Dead Burn puts the new film's possessed Deadites inside a family home.
- Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness builds a house around Ozzy's music and imagery.
Universal's five original houses are:
- Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, a confrontation between two of HHN's best-known icons.
- Cybergoria, set in a future where machines offer a brutal version of immortality.
- INVASION: Alien Abduction, which sends the Grays into a remote homestead looking for test subjects.
- MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals, set inside a closed zoo controlled by warring cannibal groups.
- H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular!, the return of the WKNB horror host for a Halloween television special.
Universal has descriptions for every house on its official HHN 35 house page.

HHN 35 dates, hours and tickets
Halloween Horror Nights begins at 6:30 p.m. and runs until 2 a.m. Universal Studios Florida closes to daytime guests at 5 p.m. before reopening for the event. A regular daytime park ticket does not include HHN, and an HHN ticket does not include daytime admission.
Single-night tickets started at $88.99 plus tax. The lowest tier in the original calendar was concentrated in September: September 2, 3, 9, 10, 13, 16, 17, 23, 24 and 30 were the cheapest published dates. October prices climb, especially on Saturdays closer to Halloween.
Universal uses date-based pricing and says prices can change until a ticket is purchased, so check the live ticket calendar before choosing. If price is the priority, start with a Wednesday or Thursday in September. Buying online is also cheaper than waiting for the front gate.
Your HHN ticket includes the houses, scare zones, live entertainment and access to select rides. The event runs rain or shine, costumes and costume masks are not allowed, and parking is not included.
Stranger Things opens early
Regular HHN admission begins at 6:30 p.m., but eligible guests can enter select houses much earlier through Stay & Scream.
For 2026, Stranger Things 5, Hellraiser and Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control open at 2 p.m. Guests need both an HHN ticket and valid daytime admission to Universal Studios Florida for the same date. A Universal annual or seasonal pass that is valid that day also qualifies.
If you do not have daytime admission, Universal sells a separate Scream Early add-on. It starts at $70, lets you enter Universal Studios Florida after 2 p.m. and includes early access to at least three houses. You must still buy an HHN ticket for that night.
Universal says more house queues begin opening at 4 p.m. and 5:15 p.m., with all ten open when the event officially starts at 6:30 p.m. The current rules and wristband locations are in Universal's HHN guide.
Is there a no-scare pass at HHN?
No. Universal has not announced a no-scare pass or a No Boo necklace for HHN 35. HHN does not offer an official wearable that tells the scareactors to leave you alone, and the scare zones are part of the event between the houses.
The closest option is the Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour, a daytime tour through three or six houses with the lights on and no event admission required. It is a separate tour rather than a less-scary version of HHN at night.
If you are going at night and need a break, the live shows, food locations and Tribute Store give you somewhere to stop between houses. Earplugs can take the edge off the sudden noise, but there is no guaranteed scare-free route through the park.
We are going for one house
Hayley is a big Stranger Things fan, and that is the whole reason we are going. I have seen the series, but she is the one who really wants to walk through Hawkins.
I went to HHN a few years ago for The Last of Us. It was fine; haunted houses just are not usually my thing. Hayley and I hate all of it, honestly: the jump scares, the darkness and knowing someone is waiting around the next corner.
We will probably choose whichever date is cheapest and go for Stranger Things. We are not going to pretend we have strong opinions about the other nine houses before seeing them. If we make it through more while we are there, great.
Which house are you going for first? Tell us in the comments, then open the HHN house tracker in ParkBound to save your list.
