Get ready for a spine-chilling adventure as Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights takes us back to the Upside Down with a thrilling 'Stranger Things' haunted house experience! This highly anticipated event, set to open on August 28th, promises to immerse fans in the eerie world of Hawkins, Indiana.
The Upside Down Comes Alive
The 'Stranger Things' haunted house will transport guests through iconic locations from the show's final season. From the cozy Wheeler House to the ominous MAC-Z military base and the terrifying Upside Down, each location will present a unique challenge as guests battle alongside the characters to save Hawkins. The grand finale? A face-off with the menacing Vecna himself!
A Carnival of Nightmares
But that's not all! Halloween Horror Nights will also feature the 'Infernal Carnival of Nightmares', a reality-bending experience starring the iconic Jack the Clown and Oddfellow. This twisted carnival promises to blur the lines between reality and nightmare, offering an unforgettable and terrifying journey.
A Star-Studded Experience
Adding to the excitement, 'Stranger Things' star Jamie Campbell Bower, who brought Vecna to life, will be a special guest at the Spooky Empire horror convention in Orlando from October 30th to November 1st. This provides a unique opportunity for fans to engage with the actor and delve deeper into the world of the show.
