Universal Studios Hollywood is adding more frights to its 2025 Halloween Horror Nights lineup with the debut of a haunted house based on the classic horror film Poltergeist, the return of Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse, and the Purge: Dangerous Waters stunt show, alongside four new scare zones.
The event begins Sept. 4 and runs select nights through Nov. 2.
The Poltergeist haunted house, based on the 1982 supernatural horror film from Amazon MGM Studios, will immerse guests in scenes from the Freeling family’s haunted home.
Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse, located on the park’s backlot, will feature villains from Blumhouse films, including “The Black Phone,” “The Exorcist: Believer,” “M3GAN,” “The Purge,” “Freaky,” and “Happy Death Day.”
R.I.P. Tour guests will have an opportunity to meet with select characters featured on Terror Tram. General Admission guests will encounter a special photo op upon disembarking the tram.
The Purge: Dangerous Waters stunt show will also return to the WaterWorld venue.
Four new scare zones will also be spread throughout the park:
- Chainsaw Clownz – roaming killers with chainsaws
- Carnival of Carnage – a twisted funhouse
- Noche de Brujas – Latin American witch legends
- Murder of Crowz – returning avian predators defending their territory
These additions join previously announced haunted houses inspired by Fallout, Five Nights at Freddy’s, Terrifier, WWE’s The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks, Jason Universe, Scarecrow: Music by Slash and Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America.
Tickets to the Halloween event can be available here.
