Halloween Horror Nights Orlando Announces ‘Dolls: Let’s Play Dead’ & ‘Grave of the Flesh’ Houses
The IP-based houses announced for Halloween Horror Nights 2025 thus far include Fallout, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and Jason Universe, but two new original haunted houses have been announced.
Universal Orlando announced the original house Dolls: Let’s Play Day yesterday, while Grave of the Flesh was announced this morning.
In Dolls: Let’s Play, “You’re about to become doll-sized and be hunted by toys that have been burnt, melded and stitched together by a twisted little girl.”
And in Grave of the Flesh, “Welcome to your funeral, where it’s about to go from bad to worse. You’ll enter the underworld and be hunted by flesh-eaters for eternity.”
Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights will run 48 select nights from August 29 through November 2 and feature 10 terrifying haunted houses, scare zones, live shows, and more.
That means that we now know seven of the ten haunted houses featured at this year’s event. Details have yet to be unveiled for Five Nights at Freddy’s house, though it will terrorize guests at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in both Hollywood and Orlando. Fallout and Jason Universe round out the IP-based houses revealed so far, with original houses including El Artista: A Spanish Haunting and Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters.
It was also announced out of the HHN panel at this year’s Spooky Empire that the overarching theme in Orlando will be “The Conservatory.” As in a gothic theme featuring gargoyles, stained glass, vines, and architecture.
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood will run select nights from September 4 to November 2. Learn more and get your Halloween Horror Nights tickets now!

Spirit Halloween Launches Summerween 2026 with ‘Terrifier’ Pool Party Collection!
Every season can be Halloween season with a little imagination, right?! Our friends at Spirit Halloween are determined to make sure you have a scary little summer with their new Summerween lineup, which kicks off this week with a killer new Terrifier pool party collection that features everything from a Terrifier beach towel to an Art the Clown pool float!
The exclusive, limited-time Terrifier collection is available now while supplies last.
Art the Clown has haunted the streets of Miles County on Halloween and the holidays, and now Spirit is helping him take a stab at summer. This officially-licensed collaboration arrives as the “Summerween” movement, a mid-summer celebration of spooky culture, reaches a fever pitch with #summerween amassing over 34.7B views and counting.
“The horror fandom doesn’t hibernate in the heat,” said Lori Tesoro, Director of PR at Spirit Halloween. “By bringing Terrifier‘s Art the Clown into the summer, we’re giving Halloween fans the year-round scares they demand.”
The collection features killer essentials to turn any beach day into a sun-soaked slasher where guests won’t know if they should grab a drink… or make a run for it.
- “Summer Scaries” Sign: a layered 3D sign that practically pulls Art the Clown off the wall and into the party.
- Art the Clown Ice Cream Inflatable Pool Float: a nearly six-foot Art-inspired ice cream cone topped with his iconic sunflower shades and devious grin.
- Art the Clown Pool Party Can: dripping graphics, a blood-red straw, and a sunnies topper that says hydration… but make it homicidal.
- Terrifier Beach Towel: one side chill black and white design, one side full-blown blood-splattered chaos.
- Terrifier Tote and Mini: perfect for SPF, snacks, and whatever you can grab in a panic.
- Terrifier Apparel: Drip shorts, Summer Scaries graphic tee, and Art the Clown Cropped Tank Top that serve “final character chic” with a killer instinct.
- Art the Clown Accessories: signature ice pop sunnies and a reversible bucket hat that flips from sunny to nightmare fuel in seconds.
