Halloween Horror Nights 2026 | Full Guide: Inside ALL 10 Houses & Zones | Universal Studios Florida
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video provides an immersive walkthrough of Universal Studios Florida's 2026 Halloween Horror Nights, featuring a lineup that blends major intellectual properties with classic originals to celebrate the event's anniversary. The host, accompanied by cameraman Ryan who films his reactions rather than just providing a point-of-view shot, navigates through ten distinct haunted houses and four scare zones. The experience begins with high energy as they tackle *Stranger Things 5*, which is praised for its faithful recreation of show elements like the Demogorgon and its atmospheric ending. This is immediately followed by *Aussie Osborne*, described as a standout performance featuring animatronics, floral scents, and iconic music that quickly rises to become the host's number one favorite house of the night.
Continuing their tour, the group explores *Mad Land's Caged Cannibals*, an animal-themed attraction where the narrative shifts from a zoo setting to cannibalistic chaos, though the host notes it was slightly difficult to follow after the intensity of the previous house. They then revisit iconic HHN legends in *Jack and Oddfellow*, a tribute to the event's history filled with Easter eggs and lore, followed by the sci-fi horror of *Cybergoria*, which features a unique concept of waking up from a thousand-year freeze into a robot-dominated world. The host also visits *Invasion Alien Abduction* and *HR Blood and Guts*, noting that while some jump scares were effective, certain alien animatronics felt less integrated than in previous years.
The night concludes with two highly anticipated horror classics: *Sinners* and *Hellraiser*. *Sinners* is lauded for its musical performances, visual effects, and dance sequences, though the host expresses a slight disappointment that it lacked an end-credit scene similar to the movie. *Hellraiser*, the final house visited, delivers intense scares with Pinhead and themes of pain and pleasure, securing its spot in the top three due to its high production quality. Throughout the experience, the host also ventures into scare zones like *Downtown Clown Town* and *Fortnite*, finding that the outdoor areas often provided more frequent scares than the houses themselves.
In his final rankings, the host declares *Aussie Osborne* as the undisputed number one house due to its music and show scenes, followed closely by *Jack and Oddfellow* for its nostalgic value and *Stranger Things 5* for its thematic accuracy. *Sinners* takes fourth place, while the fifth spot is awarded to *Hellraiser* over *Cybergoria*. The video ends with the host expressing immense enjoyment of the incredible lineup and hoping that the unique filming perspective offered a fresh look at the event, encouraging viewers to share their own favorite attractions in the comments.

Hey friends, tonight we are going to
Halloween Horror Nights and I am so
excited. Universal invited me out and
gave me permission to film in the houses
so I can share my experiences with you.
We got 10 houses, four scare zones, two
shows, and I want to show you
everything. So, we're going to eat some
food, walk through some houses, and have
a spooky Halloween horror nights kind of
night. Anywh who, let's go do this.
It is such a beautiful day out today.
Temperatures are in the high8s and I'm
excited to explore around and show you
everything Halloween Horror Nights has
to offer. This year's lineup is
incredible. A lot of big IPs like
Stranger Things 5, Hellraiser, Sinners,
Evil Dead, and Aussie Osborne has a
house dedicated to him and a lot of
really cool originals. And it's an
anniversary year. So, Jack the Clown is
back along with Oddfellow. And I can't
wait to just share all of my experiences
with you. We're going to try to do
everything. I want to do all of the
scare zones, all the shows, all the
houses, and just kind of have a spooky
Halloween horror nights kind of night.
And something different this year. Ryan
is actually with me, and he's going to
be like my little cameraman. He's going
to film in the houses so you guys can
see like my expressions walking through
it.
>> Yes. I'm I'm happy that you're going to
be able to see Nate actually experience
the house this year rather than just his
POV. It's going to be a new fresh take.
>> I'm a little scared. I'm not going to
lie.
>> I know. I've been through all these
already. So, no warnings though. No
spoilers.
>> I'm honestly a little scared having Ryan
film me going through the houses cuz
normally I just hold the camera and you
guys get the POV. And honestly, I get
scared. I get a little scared. And uh
just knowing that he's going to be back
there taking all the videos kind of gets
me anxious. I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE I'LL
JUST WALK around kind of quiet though
cuz that's how I GET I GET VERY FOCUSED.
>> I told him he has to ham it up. OKAY.
>> I DON'T think so. It looks like the rain
just stopped. So hopefully we have a
clear night and good weather. Good
weather. You know, I think our first
house of the night is going to be
Stranger Things 5. AND I AM SO EXCITED
BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED the show and I
can't wait to see some of the physical
props in there and just kind of like the
theming. This is a good way to start the
night.
If I go there will be trouble and if I
stay it will be
We can begin.
Wow, that was great.
>> Yes.
That one.
>> Oh, I can't see nothing.
your way.
Now take the elevator on the stairway.
Yeah.
Heat.
It's snowing in here.
>> It's snowing.
Oh,
let's go.
A
Yeah.
Heat.
you saw.
The mage you saw die is not real. She
was an illusion.
The major saw night. That was good.
>> Stranger Things was a great way to start
the night. And I love how it ended kind
of the same way the show ended. There
was big props in there. I love seeing
the demogorgorn actually get like its
limbs like broken. It's like such a cool
unique show and it's awesome seeing it
kind of like all done inside of a
haunted house. And I've seen all the
Stranger Things houses and this one was
so good. That's my train of thought. But
that's okay because we have a crazier
one coming. Our next house is going to
be Azie Osborne, the prince of darkness.
>> Wow.
I'm excited that we started off the
night so strong. Stranger Things 5 and
then Aussie Osborne right afterwards.
This is going to be a good start. This
is good.
>> Nate, what's your favorite Aussie song?
>> Oh, Crazy Train or Bark at the Moon. You
know,
>> we might hear
>> Bark at the Moon. WE MIGHT HEAR.
>> I wasn't expecting the Aussie house to
smell so nice. Smells pretty good in
here.
>> It's floral. It's a floral scent, I
think.
Heat.
Oh,
heat, heat.
Heat. Heat.
The prince of darkness.
He has escaped.
The prince of darkness.
He has escaped.
Yeah.
Heat.
It's an animatronic mask.
I can't see.
Heat.
Nate, I think we're headed into a crazy
train. Oh.
Heat.
Yeah.
Heat.
I love you more than you love yourself.
You don't know.
>> I love you.
>> I love you more than you love yourself.
You don't
I love you all.
That was great. That was so good. I know
Aussie is only the second house of the
night, but I honestly feel like that
could be my number one overall.
>> It might have gone up to my number one
already.
>> It was so good. I mean, I'll let you
guys know at the end, like I said, in
overall rankings, like my top three and
MY OR MY least favorite three, you know,
but Aussie, that's pretty high up there
already.
>> What was your favorite part?
>> Oh, the werewolf part. the bark at the
moon and then the gigantic bat
animatronic. That was so that was
amazing.
>> The ending with the bungee.
>> Oh yes, there was a lot of good moments,
but we're going to keep moving along.
And I don't know what house we're going
to next. I don't know. LIKE WE'RE DOING
GREAT. And honestly, for opening night,
the wait times are not that bad. 35
minutes for Mad Land's Caged Cannibals.
And Azie is only 50 minutes over there.
And I like how they're right next to
each other, too. This one's going to be
fun. I love animals.
The next house is Mad Lands Caged
Cannibals. I think it's an ANIMAL HOUSE.
AN ANIMAL HOUSE. Mad Lands Cednibals.
Look at this zoo.
>> We're entering the zoo.
The strongest joining factions that
idolize the extinct.
They feed on anyone.
>> I'm so excited for this one. I love
animals and I love zoos.
>> I don't know how many alive animals will
be in here. Nate.
>> Oh, I mean I love the jungle cruise.
Oh my lord.
Wow. Wow.
Hey, go.
Heat. Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Heat
up
here.
Smells good in here.
Oh, that's a good smell, isn't it?
>> Doesn't smell nice in here.
>> What does it smell like, Nate?
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
It's so bad.
>> Oh, snap it right off.
Feel like that's a smell cannon
probably.
I I love this. Heat.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Nothing like a little heart stare at the
end there. There you go.
>> Mad Lands was definitely interesting.
There wasn't a lot of animals in there.
I was hoping for a lot of animals since
it was in a zoo, but I guess the uh
cannibals took over. They killed all the
animals. I liked it, but you know, it
was really hard to follow Aussie
Osborne. That's the thing. I think, you
know, going from that for me to, you
know, Mad Lands. I don't know. I'll let
you guys know. Like I said, now we're
just going to keep moving along. We
already knocked down three houses. We
did almost all the uh sound stages up
front here. I think we got maybe one
more to go and then we'll probably start
heading uh deeper into the park.
Actually, we have Jack and Oxfellow,
Chaos and Control next. And these are
all the houses right up front here.
Aussie Osborne Mad Lands. So, I guess
we're going this way. We're heading back
this way. I feel like we're just going
in circles. We're going round and round.
Oh, no. We're going back here. We're
heading to Jack and Arfellow next. And
you know how I mentioned this is an
anniversary year. They always bring back
the icons for the anniversary. And I
don't know if you noticed the new
Roosevelt shirt. They're actually
selling this here at Universal Studios.
And this has tons of uh HHN icons. So,
kind of excited. This is the perfect
shirt for this next house. And look at
me and Ryan. Shirt brothers.
>> Shirt brothers.
>> We're going into Jack and Oddfellow.
Some uh Halloween Horror Nights icons.
If you want to learn more about uh HHN
icons, Ryan on his For the Love of Theme
Parks channel has a great icons video.
Some good lore.
>> Give me a pose. Just give me a pose.
What began as a rivalry between
the falling betrayal of lead
was a terrible murder and a worse
the murderer hid I
know.
NO.
This ends now. You're a terrible clown
and a sloppy.
It's time.
This fight was only possible.
This fight was only

away.
Jack and Odd Fellow was amazing. Lots of
cool Easter eggs in there. And I think
that one's going to probably sit high on
my list. I honestly I really love all of
the houses in the front of the park. And
we're going to keep going. I think we
got Evil Dead uh burn the new uh Evil
Dead and I'm excited for that one. If
you are going to do all the houses, it's
kind of important to be a little
strategic cuz you don't want to go from
the front of the park to the back of the
park. You don't want to bing bum bing
all over the place. Kind of want to go
in order so you can save steps,
especially if you're going to be here
all day. I think we're going to probably
close it out tonight. We're closing her
down.
Oh, look. It looks like they're doing a
shift change. Stranger Things. Look at
those claws.
>> You said demogorgans are wearing the
hood.
>> I know. That's kind of funny. They don't
fit in there too well. The hood.
>> I don't think so.
>> That's crazy. Yeah.
>> Evil Dead Burn. I haven't seen this one
yet. I only saw the originals.
>> Help me. Oh,
heat, heat.

Heat.
What is going on in here?
>> Oh, wow.
Look at that.
Heat. Heat.

Where is the driver?
Heat.
living.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Evil Dead.
Maybe it's because I haven't saw the new
movies, but I didn't see any Sam Remy in
there at all or Ash. And uh they had
some good like, you know, jump scares,
but I maybe should watch the movie and
maybe come back and enjoy it a little
bit more. I probably will put it at the
bottom of my list for now. I mean,
Aussie and Jack and Oddfellow are at the
top, but we're gonna keep moving along,
take a little break from the houses,
walk through some scare zones, and then
make our way, I think, to either
Cybergoria or one of the ten houses a
little bit in the back of the park.
>> The biggest scare zones we have ever
done. It's the largest t It's the
largest scare zone we've done in the New
York area ever, I believe. And this is
going to be downtown Clown Town. So, uh,
clouds of oceans and sizes have taken
over our New York area.
>> We're going to walk through our first
scare zone before we make our way to
Cyber Goria. And it's downtown clown
town. I like this cuz it's GOT ALL MY
FAVORITE CLOWNS. I LIKE THE CLOWN
AROUND. CLOWN AROUND.
I love how everyone just kind of fits in
here.
You got A HULA HOOP IN THERE.
That is awesome.
That's his natural form. Don't Come on.
Don't comment. Oh, come on. Come on.
>> I look like I got a hula hoop, too.
>> Oh, look at Oh, wow.
>> Pow. Right in the kisser.
>> I'm afraid I'm afraid these monsters are
going to use me as a punching bag.
>> Yo, he's coming right up on the side of
me.
>> I love killer clowns from outer space.
If they had an experience where they can
wrap me up in a cocoon of cotton candy,
I would DO IT. WRAP ME UP. THROW AWAY
THE KEY.
>> Step right up.
>> I like this game. I'll show you more of
the scare zones later when it actually
gets darker. Snip snip snippity snip. Oh
my lord. You'll just walk IT THROUGH
HERE. THAT'S ALL YOU GOT TO DO. WOW.
Clowns in vans. I really don't like that
at all. Oh, and here's Art over here.
He's got like a whole display. This is
kind of cool. Look at this.
Oh, they even have snow in here.
>> Oh, he's leaving.
>> I love that art. The clown is up on a
stage. Last year he was roaming around
and he was causing like chaos cuz there
was like mobs of people trying to get
photos with him. So now he's up on stage
where everyone could just come and
worship him. And it's really cool that
they got fake snow. But uh got to keep
moving along. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO
CYBERGORIA NEXT. I THINK I said that
right. Cybergoria.
>> So the next house that we're hitting up
is Cybergoria. And it's probably one of
the best premises of any house this
year. You are you have been frozen in
the current year and you are thought out
a thousand years later in 3535
and you're walking out of a deep freeze
and into what the world is now. The
robots have taken over and they're
harvesting you.
>> It's a great concept. I did it
yesterday.
We'll see how it is. You
>> I also hear it's the wetest house.
They use the most blood per square inch
in decorating this house.
>> Wow.
>> So, we'll see.
>> WE'RE GOING TO GET WET.
>> YES.
>> THIS IS your favorite house, Ryan.
>> No, it's my least favorite house,
actually. Is it really?
>> I love the theming of it, though. The
theming is great. Hopefully, this is a
better run than last night for me.
>> Oh, wow.
>> How are you? Happy Halloween. Hope you
get
Enter the freezing.
When you wake up,
enter the freezing chamber now. I'll
greet you when you wake up.
Heat.
Yeah.
Heat.
Wow.
Heat.
or you'll die.
Please don't go or you'll die.
Please don't grow up or you'll die. I
can hear you.
Don't
help you.
I can hear you.
Heat. Heat.
Oh my lord.
I know.
Oh wow.
Hey yo, what the
Wow, that house literally was Hey yo.
Wow.
I think that was the best jump scares.
that tunnel. They were getting you left
and right.
>> Crazy, right?
>> Cyber Goria had so many good scares. A
lot of areas where they could kind of
pop out and get you from the left and
the right. I liked it a lot. I love the
overall theming of it. Very, very cool.
That one might be high up on my list,
too. We have to make some decisions.
It's going to be hard to come up with a
top three, but I think Aussie will still
be up there. Aussiey's still at the top
for me. But now we're going to cut
through the Club Horror Scare Zone. It's
not really a like scare zone. It's more
of a just a cool spot to hang and listen
to music and make our way back to the
tent houses. Look at it in here.
See, you can just kind of hang back and
listen to all the music. Club Horror is
like more of a dance party than a scare
zone, but it's still very cool. And I
can't wait to check out the Fortnite
scare zone that's on the other side of
the park. Right now, I think we're going
to our next house and it's uh Evasion
Alien Abduction. It's an alien house and
it's near Men in Black. So, I think
we'll probably do that and then HR Blood
and Guts and then uh wrap up the night
with Hellraiser and Sinners in the back.
So, we're making great time. Both of
these houses are literally right next to
each other. So, we're probably going to
bounce straight from uh uh invasion
>> alien. I thought it was invasion alien
abduction.
>> One of those. Let me check my notes.
Invasion alien abduction.
>> Evvasion alien abduction. It's literally
right here. And then HR Blood and Guts
is on the other side. But look at the
outside facade. The facade.
Take me to your leader.
I can't see anything.
>> I thought I was supposed to see you in
the fog.
Watch out.
He's a little
guy.
That was great.
Heat. Heat.
Oh, let's go.
Heat.
You killed my wife. You little bastard.
Heat.
That was a triple scare.
>> Yeah.
>> So, Nate, Invasion, Alien Abduction.
What are your thoughts? I liked it. I
didn't like all the animals getting
sucked up to the mother ship. They had
literally a goat flying up to the air
and then at the end there I feel like
they came out at me. One, two, and then
a big tall alien. There was big aliens,
there were tiny aliens. I think overall
I liked it. I like it a lot.
Heat. Heat.
Oh my god.
Oh yes.

That was fun. Oh, you almost got it,
guys.
>> They almost got me.
>> They almost did. Look at They got a
little scare at on the way out
>> right now.
All right, it's time for Sinners. And
I'm excited. I love this movie. And I'm
kind of hoping for like an end credit
scene like in the movie. Look at the
outside facade for Sinners. And then
right on the other side is Hellraiser.
You can see Pin Head there. Looks like
they're doing a shift change.
>> Oh, wow. Look at this.
I don't know where they're coming.
>> Wow. That's cool.
I always get excited when I see that
happen.
>> This gift can bring healing to their
communities, but it also
attracts evil
for people born with the gift of making
music. So true.
We all going to make some money. We all
going to make some money. Number
two going to be playing down at the old
song. It's the grand opening of our
joint club. We going to have us a battle
booth. It's going to be a real ring day.
Guess what? Y ready.
Heat. Heat.
Take me.
Somebody take me.
We will make beautiful music together.
We go
every
much better now.
I do much better now.
Wait for this one. Wait for this one to
reset.
Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Oh
Heat.
just for a few hours.
Sinners was awesome. And I love all of
the big displays. It was kind of like
watching entertainment, especially with
the music. And I loved all of the kind
of visual effects. There was a lot of
like awesome scenes where you see people
dancing and the fire. It's really,
really nice. And I'm glad that we got to
do I probably put that in my top in my
top five definitely. But we still have
Hellraiser and it's literally the next
house over. So I think we're going to
head there next and kind of uh wrap them
all up and then go explore some of the
scare zones.
Here we go. Last house of the night. I'm
excited. Hope we don't get hooked. You
don't want to get hooked.
>> I don't want to get hooked. You know, no
pun intended.
doors
of heaven.
I thought
and the sun gave me an experience beyond
this pain and pleasure.
Heat. Heat. Heat.
Heat
up
here.
Try to get a photo of the box from the
outside. That being thing, if if you
want, that's fine. I think that'd be a
great photo to have.
Lighting should be really good in there.
Heat.
HEAT.
Feel
free to explore.
We have such things to show you.
Feel
free to experience.
You open it.

>> What's going on in there? Nate
crap.
Come daddy. Heat
up
here.
Your suffering will be legendary.
Heat. Heat.
Your suffering will be like
I don't like it.
Heat. Heat.
That was so good.
Hellraiser was incredible. Honestly,
that's probably going in my top three.
We have time to kind of shuffle it
around. I want to make sure I lock it
in. And uh I think that's it for all the
houses. Now we get to go and explore
some of the scare zones, go through
Fortnite, and uh I think there's another
decay one that is up near the front of
the park, and then take it from there.
Here's the Fortnite scare zone. They got
the battle bus out here. It's very
popular over in this area.
Very crowded, too. Holy moly.
This is always one of my favorite scare
zones, though.
>> I love all the lighting in here. I want
to just hang OUT HERE AND PROBABLY JUST
people watch.
>> Wow, that was cool.
Look at this guy. I can't even see him
there.
>> Yo, I can't see you at all. That's
scary.
Now we're moving on from the Fortnite
scare zone to Circus of Decay.
>> Circus of Who are you looking forward to
seeing most? Your favorite icon in here.
>> Well, I just heard Jack and Artfellow
are roaming around.
>> I don't know. Who are we going to see in
here, Kevin? Well, who do you want to
see?
>> I want to see the caretaker.
>> The caretaker.
>> See the caretaker. You're going to see
uh Sinister and Surreal. You'll see Lady
Luck. All original HHN characters. You
just won't see the director.
>> No director.
>> We'll see what happens. But
>> yeah,
>> there's no director.
>> You'll see a lot on this shirt.
>> Yeah, they're all on this shirt.
>> They also have roller skating zombies
going around Mels. Look at this. They
got brains on there. Brains.
Slap hands.
Holy moly. It came out of nowhere.
You did too. I feel your head.
>> Sorry.
That was good. Oh, you can see Cindy up
there. Wow. This is a great Oh, there's
Jack. There's Oello, actually.
Oh my lord. Sorry.
>> He doesn't even know.
They call me the radio.
>> Wow. See, I like scare zones cuz they
can really get you in here. In fact, I
dare to say I think I got more scares
out of the scare zones than in the
houses.
Well, now that we've done all 10 houses,
and all four scare zones except for the
front one, I really wasn't able to show
you that because it was when we were
first walking in. Maybe I'll show you
that as we're walking out. But I think
we'll uh start making our way home and
I'll give you my top five houses.
>> Oh, look. Actually, Jack and Arfellow
are both out front at the main sign
here. I'm glad we came back out here.
Look how cool this is. This is a way
that you actually enter for Halloween
Horror Nights.
This is really, really cool.
And there she is. The most beautiful dog
on earth. Gracie girl, you want a
cookie? A, that was so gentle the way
you grabbed that cookie. And with that,
we are done here tonight. I had so much
fun at Halloween Horror Nights.
Literally, the lineup this year is
incredible. I would have to say my top
five houses was Azie at number one. I
really love Azie Osborne and I love the
music and just the different show
scenes. Number two, I'm going to give it
to Jack and Oddfellow. There were so
many cool Easter eggs in there and it
was a great way to celebrate the icons.
Number three, I was tossed up between
Stranger Things and Sinners, but I think
I'm going to give it to Stranger Things
only because I just got done watching
the show. I wish they were uh playing uh
Running Up the Hill. That is my favorite
song from the show and it wasn't in the
house at all. So number four is going to
go to Sinners. And Sinners was great.
That was another really awesome house
for the music and the big show scenes.
And I wish they actually had an end
credit scene like they did in the movie
for Sinners. I thought that was going to
be really cool. And then number five, it
was tossed. It was a toss between
Hellraiser and Cyborgia, but I think I'm
going to give it to Hellraiser because I
think the inside and production quality,
that might be the best house. Overall,
they were all amazing and I cannot wait
to uh go back and experience them again.
Let me know what you guys think about
the footage. I hope you liked Ryan
filming for me and kind of giving you a
different perspective. It was the first
time we tried that this year, so let me
know. Maybe we'll do it again uh in the
next year or other future videos. And I
guess uh I hope you enjoyed the video. I
enjoyed making it. Let me know in the
comments what yourh favorite house was.
And uh hope you guys uh have a wonderful
uh Halloween uh season. So anyh who,
bye.
