“ Terrify ” made an undeniable brand on Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood

The doors of Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood have opened, and this year’s event has some of the biggest beginnings in the themed park. Between Creepy And Five nights at FreddyThe haunted houses of the headliners really have a punch, with the house Jason Universe led by Terror Titan, based on the Friday 13 Franchise, also helping to fuel a killing start to the season.

But that does not mean that there were stockings; Surprisingly, HHH is planned To fall The offer did not pass expectations. Some repeated houses have managed to maintain enough excitement, but the event of the west coast – which is smaller than the version mounted by Halloween Horror Nights Orlando – can prove to create unequal experiences for the guests of the park which cannot pay the additional dough for express passes.

Express tickets have been provided by Universal so that the media can review all the houses, and it is a key to remember from the start: as insiders of the themed park, it was clear for us that it could be almost impossible to visit all the houses if you make the admission to the general event. If you are locked up in this price, be sure to prioritize 3-4 houses and an entertainment offer-between the terrorist tram on the theme of the Blumhouse, the Stunt Show Purge: dangerous watersor the Chainsaw Projection of short films. If you really want to do everything in one night, the upgrade to express can be your best bet.

I have a professional advice to participate in recent years: Express pass will sometimes be offered 50% towards the end of the night and you can buy to run in all the houses in the last hours of the event. I did it myself. You can only enjoy it if you are already in the park when the panels go up in the stations for the upgrade of the tickets, so keep an eye on this.

As a Los Angeles room, I also spread it by buying a post of several nights (like the pass of “freent fear”) and by going once a week to spend time for vibrations and extend the shorter lines for the houses I missed or that I want to redo.

Here is what we thought of Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood for 2025:

Good

Terrifier: Art The Clown has unofficially solidified its place as a icon of horror evenings. From the moment you arrive at the event, the killer of the silly silent clown with his bag of demented towers. Personally, and as most of them going to the event, it was my first exhibition to the character and the world of Creepy, Having been dissuaded by a part of the division speech surrounding the free violence of the franchise. However, the Creepy House has paraded some of my concerns and I think that the films fall more in an absurd gore atmosphere against the granular gore genre (think more raimi than Roth).

There are more horrible things, I think, in the Monsters House with a child eaten by the Llorona that everything in the terrifying house. Do not let it fall asleep in a false feeling of security. Art is always very hardcore but in a hilarious way. We really enjoyed the Looney pieces or rather Itchy & Scratchy Will have a very ill -clown on a demonic chaos mission. The full display of depravity was a good time at a lower mocker, I went home and watched Damien Leone Terrifier 2 immediately. Art The Clown will have new fans (including me) and this house will appeal to longtime fanatics. Go down to the CLOWN CAFE as soon as you can, because it will have a long queue. And water warnings? They are for real; Bring a poncho.

Jason universe: It is by far the most frightening house of a traditional sense. Jason tracks you down alongside the death of Crystal Crystal Moths and with the emblematic soundtrack, there is a lot of fear. If you are difficult to “get”, you will appreciate the attention to details in the manufacture of a house that encompasses the Friday 13 legacy. Even with an express pass, this line was long.

Pro advice: Foods on the theme of Jason’s universe are discreet winners of the war of Hhn snacks. We recommend the Gouda Fondue Bread Bowl (we paid the pocket for this); It is imbued with angry Orchard cider and is delivered with green apple slices. It is available on the same stand as the Mask Jason’s Mask. It could be the best food of the horror fever.

Five nights at Freddy: The pure art of talent of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop and Hhn Performing Work makes it all time with APLOMB with APLOMB. The haunted “animatronics” that charge you or do not spring into life and there are even unexpected jump fears with dead children who slip on you while you hover around Chica or Foxy. Our only complaint is that the centerpiece of the stage show at the beginning only understood Freddy; Hhn d’Orlando obtained the whole whole.

Chainsaw man: This import by Universal Studios Japan was an unexpected surprise. Anime fans will be delighted with a special Hhn Japan theater film, which brings beloved characters (less Pochita, unfortunately) in an immersive meta experience where they have to fight demons while attending Hhn themselves. The mixture of a cute and frightening 2D animation and the CG action of the fourth wall with a brief adventure featuring the Chainsaw Gang impresses and I hope we will have fun further abroad to go to the United States.

SO-SO

Scarecrow With Slash: The HHN HHLYWOOD terror tradition is developing with Slash offering a new score. The works and creatures always make it a show. However, we were a little disappointed by music; We loved the riff composed by the legend of rock, but the Beat Boom-Clap made us feel that we were comical in an advertisement of corn whiskey. He threw the frightening energy. Hit the bar afterwards.

Monsters 3: Celebrating the horrors of Latin American folklore was a fantastic basic food from HHH and there is really no one more frightening than the Llorona (Iykyk) and its penchant for kidnapping children and feasting on their soul. Alongside another avenging cryptide killer, the Siguanaba, this house makes a solid experience filled with fear; He felt a bit on the shortest side or perhaps we caught him while there was a change in distribution, which sometimes happens.

WWE presents: The horrors of the patients of Wyatt: In tribute to the late wrestler who proposed the tradition of horror campy of the entertainment struggle, this house is a sentimental and solid shipment. However, as a person whose WWE horror scenarios were Undertaker and Kane, I felt so lost and I did not know how to connect the scenario of the house to the characters of the ring. Could have had a little more cohesion but the whole and the costume were on the point; We will give it. PRO-TIP: it has a series of rooms with a raw smell, and you will also be pulverized.

TERROR TRAM: Blumhouse taking charge of the backlot could have been great, but it ended up looking more like a meeting and Greet area developed than a lair. Unless you particularly want to meet blumhouse figures and get more steps, it is probably better to jump. But if you are a fan of horror movies and want to explore where the films are made, it’s a good place. The photos are always great so it’s an advantage. Be notified: this experience takes almost an hour of your time, so plan accordingly.

The bad

Purge: dangerous waters: It is tired and although we appreciate the effort in the waterfalls, there was no new Purge Film for ages. This space could have been better used, perhaps by To fallAnd we will explain why in a little.

Poltergeist: Remove it.

To fall: As a fan of the Walton Goggins ghoul, there was not enough sassy and frightening Ghoulusy. The scenes of the safe were short and focused too much on Lucy’s linear journey rather than giving us a great success of the horrible moments of The Prime Video Show. It was not scary either and used so much space in the first Traveling One -year -old house attraction area with a few decorations that he felt earlier than we would have liked. For a property that will invite long queues, it is not worth it. A show on the Water world Internship featuring The Ghoul and Lucy on the figures in Wasteland and Gulper could have been better.

Pro-Tip: the To fall Food is a more fun experience; We recommend roasted roasted legs, but we also had a special affinity for roasted Stingwing. There is also radaway in the sachets for you, fans of articles specific to the universe.

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood is now open until November 2. Get tickets here.
