Halloween Horror Nights 35 IP-Based Haunted Houses
Five houses make up the IP-based Haunted House lineup. They draw from an Academy Award-winning horror film, a returning Netflix series, a classic horror franchise, this year’s newest theatrical release, and a first-ever tribute to a departed rock icon.
Halloween Horror Nights 35 Original Haunted Houses
Five houses make up this year’s lineup of homegrown horror, ranging from a clown and occultist’s rivalry to a defunct zoo turned cannibal battleground. Each draws from ideas built specifically for this event rather than existing film or TV franchises. Here’s a look at the HHN 35 original concept haunted houses!

Scarezones
In addition to world-class haunted houses, Halloween Horror Nights also has “scarezones” where guests can walk through themed sections of the park filled with horror. Scarezones often rely on original concepts, but some can include IP as well. Here’s a look at the announced scarezones for Halloween Horror Nights 2025!
Shows
In addition to world-class haunted houses and scarezones, Halloween Horror Nights also has two shows that guests can enjoy during event nights. A stage show, Nightmare Fuel, is extremely popular, and it returns in 2025, continuing the circus theme from 2024. For the first time in a couple of years, a lagoon show will also be presented.
