Halloween Horror Nights 2026 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Viator]

Could it be an original? Maybe a take on Graveyard Games? I always thought Hollywood should take a crack at that one.

Good to bring up but HNN has seemingly posted for their map, a grave symbol.

Doesn't really look like the Graveyard Games facade, tho. IMHO, at least. Unless it is a pretty unique re-interpretation? To me it still looks like a castle, or like a temple or something, not really a graveyard rectory or church like the Graveyard Games facade.

Scarecrow for Hollywood was a redesigned version as was Dead Exposure.. it makes sense that Graveyard Games would also get that treatment..

Good point! Would definitely be cool to get that house.

Looked up the house, looks good to me. I'd be down for a Hollywood version

I only started attending Hollywood last year but have been attending Orlando for eight years now. Graveyard Games is one of my favourite houses so i hope that Hollywood gets their own version some day

I've been through Graveyeard Games. It was a great house! If I recall if twas probably my second favorite original next to the Yeti one that year. This was 2019 (HHN 29)

The only downside is that they wouldn't be able to recreate that massive scale the facade had, but the rest of the house was about average height for your typical HHN house. Having tighter corners and smaller spaces would actually work to its advantage and make it more realistic for a grave setting and make it more intense.

Are we more certain this is what is going in JP? If so, I'm so down! This could be one of the best originals HHN has done in a long time. The final scene was intense and would be perfect for Hollywood to take on.

EDIT TO ADD: Also realized this would be the perfect budget house for HHN being they could reuse a lot of the tomb sets from the Monstrous and Universal Monsters houses and the coffins from the final scene from Poltergeist.

I would love for it to come but tbc, I literally just suggested it as a guess. All we know is that JP is a hand coming out of a grave per the spec map.

If it is Graveyard Games there, what was rumored to be at that location beforehand?

From memory Ozzy Osburne, then switching to Hollywood Harry

Thanks

I mean, if it ends up being Graveyard Games.

A Hollywood Harry show in the Theater wouldnt be bad?

Wishful thinking, but I would love to see a show in the DWT with the Director. They could easily make a short show with a screening of his latest feature.

It has been 20 years since the event started again and the Director was last present. They gotta have him at the event this year in some form.

That would be so cool! Would love for DWT to be darker and edgier than it has been of late.

They already have the rights to the Director (I’m assuming) and they could easily whip something together. It would essentially be a super-low budget horror short that would be 10-12 minutes max of footage. Like why not.

Yes, the original rumor was Ozzy for JP, but if the spec map is to be believed (and I don’t think it is), then Ozzy would still be in play, but over in H Lot (where Evil Dead Burn was slated at one point).

I have a question about multiple visits to Universal Horror Nights. I've had a pass to Knott's Scary Farm for three or four years, but I'm interested in visiting multiple nights for UHN.

A guide to previous UHN in Hollywood said that an Ultimate Fear Pass includes parking, but reading the fine print on this year's website says that it does not include parking. Is the only way to get parking included for one's multiple visits to buy a regular Universal Studios Hollywood pass (gold or platinum) that includes parking? If so, that might be a deal breaker because I already have parking for 2026 on my Knott's pass and will probably just stick with the 2026 Scary Farm pass.

Thanks for your information and any advice.

Unfortunately the only way to get parking is to buy the Gold Pass. Even then you can't use it past 6PM on Fridays and Saturdays. They're determined to squeeze $40 a pop from you.

I had no idea the old Ultimate pass had parking with it...that was a good deal then



Also I see lots of people on IG talking about Fortnite taking over the fire towers, but not seen anyone here talking about it much, so wanted to see if this was a new rumor or just one from a while back getting traction now
