LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Halloween Horror Nights returns for the 2026 season at Universal Studios Hollywood. A star-studded red carpet ushered in the popular seasonal event that unearths eight all-new and returning haunted houses, an array of frightening scare zones, the return of its popular Terror Tram experience and “The Purge: Dangerous Waters” live stunt show.
Sharon and Jack Osbourne were in attendance in honor of one of this year’s new houses, “Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness,” featuring the legacy of the metal rock star.
On the red carpet, Rudy Sarzo told Las Vegas Now that “nobody sings like Ozzy” and said he is excited for the next generation to learn more about Osbourne’s music.
The rock and roll doesn’t stop there, as the original haunted house “KILLceañera: Music by SLASH” continues the tradition of showcasing Latin American myths and legends. Grammy Award-winning guitarist and songwriter SLASH composed an original score for the house featuring Spanish guitar and an exclusive song titled “15 Candles.”
Other new haunted houses include: “Sinners” based on Warner Bros’ Pictures Academy Award-winning film, “Stranger Things” based on the fifth season of the popular Netflix series, “Hellraiser” inspired by the first three films, “Evil Dead Burn” based on the sixth film in New Line Cinema’s Evil Dead franchise, MGM’s “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” and “Dead, Deader, Deadest” an original haunted house that takes guests on a tour of an abandoned funeral home.
The Terror Tram returns with an all-new host, Art the Clown. In “Terror Tram starring Art the Clown,” he hijacks the tram for his own holiday celebration. Metal band ICE NINE KILLS created new music for the experience, putting a dark twist on classic Christmas songs.
