Travel through Hawkins Lab, the Creel House and Vecna’s Mind Lair

Stranger Things is back at Universal Studios‘ Halloween Horror Nights this year, with a new haunted house inspired by the latest season of Netflix’s original series.

The upcoming haunted house will transport visitors to Hawkins, Indiana, where they will meet Vecna, the show’s new supernatural villain, as well as a bunch of Demobats in the ǝpᴉsdn uʍop.

In a press release, Universal said the Stranger Things-themed haunted house “mirrors the mind-bending twists and supernatural terror of season 4, immersing guests in a heart-pounding experience alongside characters from the series, including Eleven, Max, Eddie and more”.

Guests “will find themselves on the front line of Vecna’s deadly attacks on the citizens of Hawkins” while making their way through iconic scenes from the show, including Hawkins Lab, the Creel House and Vecna’s monstrous Mind Lair.

“From the opening shots of Stranger Things 4, episode one, we knew this was meant to be an experience at Halloween Horror Nights,” said John Murdy, executive producer of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.

“We’re excited for our fans to live Vecna’s curse as we recreate the iconic and terrifying moments from the show,” added Lora Sauls, assistant director of creative development and show direction at Universal Orlando.

Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando are also creating a new haunted house inspired by The Last of Us for 2023’s Halloween Horror Nights.

Elsewhere, the seasonal Halloween attraction at Universal Studios Singapore will include a new experience inspired by Netflix’s hit zombie series All of Us Are Dead.

In more news, Halloween Horror Nights is so huge that Universal Destinations & Experiences is launching a new year-round horror attraction in Las Vegas at Area15.

Halloween Horror Nights begins on 1 September through 4 November at Universal Orlando and on 7 September through 31 October at Universal Studios Hollywood.
