Universal Destinations and Experiences has rounded out its Halloween Horror Nights 2025 lineup with two pop‑culture heavyweights, confirming haunted houses based on Five Nights at Freddy’s and WWE’s Wyatt Sicks for both its Orlando and Hollywood parks starting 29 August and 4 September respectively. The announcement, made 29 July, extends a season that runs through 2 November and now features ten mazes in Florida and nine in California.
Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria will be recreated in painstaking detail, inviting guests to patrol dim corridors where animatronic predators Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy roam free, echoing the 2023 film that became Blumhouse’s highest‑grossing release at $297 million worldwide. Visitors follow security guard Mike’s flashlight trail, a design Universal says will “blur the line between game mechanics and immersive theatre”.
Across the park, “WWE Presents: The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks” drags Bray Wyatt’s lantern‑lit mythology into physical space, led by Uncle Howdy, Mercy the Buzzard and a looming appearance by The Fiend. The faction, revived last year by Wyatt’s brother Bo Dallas after the star’s death in 2023, will stalk fog‑filled shacks and a dilapidated funhouse while original commentary pipes through hidden speakers. Universal’s creative director John Murdy called the WWE collaboration “a brand‑new chapter for Horror Nights” in a statement released with the trailer.
The dual reveals cap a month in which Universal also unveiled houses for Terrifier, Monstruos 3 and a Slash‑scored Scarecrow sequel, underscoring a strategy of pairing cult horror with broad‑appeal IP to drive record attendance figures that topped 3 million ticket scans in 2024.
Ticket bundles and express passes went on sale within hours, and the resort’s official site reported virtual queues exceeding 20,000 users at peak demand. Analysts link the timing to the December 5 theatrical release of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 and WWE’s push to elevate the Wyatt Sicks brand ahead of next April’s WrestleMania, giving both partners a months‑long promotional runway inside Universal’s after‑dark playground.
