Universal Studios has dropped a brand new Halloween Horror Nights 2026 announcement this afternoon, revealing that “Stranger Things 5” is getting a new haunt this year.
The all-new attraction is based on the fifth and final season of Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things,” and it’s coming to both Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood.
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights event begins on Friday, August 28 at Universal Orlando Resort and Thursday, September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Developed in partnership with Netflix, this year’s “Stranger Things” haunted house will showcase the most gripping moments from the final season in an authentic, visceral experience that places guests at the center of the ultimate battle to save Hawkins. Fans will confront the terror they’ve seen on screen as they navigate iconic locations and encounter favorite characters—all while evading a host of horrifying supernatural creatures…including Vecna himself.
The harrowing adventure will immediately transport guests to the town of Hawkins, as the barrier between reality and the supernatural is collapsing to unleash an ominous darkness. As visitors make their way through familiar scenes, including the Wheeler House, Hawkins National Laboratory, the MAC-Z military base, as well as the haunting realms of the Upside Down and the Abyss, they’ll be hunted at every turn by Demogorgons and other sinister creatures. With Vecna on their heels, the terror intensifies, pulling guests into an all-or-nothing battle for survival.
All‑new limited-release merchandise inspired by the “Stranger Things” haunted house will be available. The parks exclusive collection includes a T-shirt and a mug infused with ‘80s nostalgia, plus a new acrylic figure that fits into the separately sold Infernal Carnival collectible display – with additional collectibles representing this year’s lineup coming soon to create one cohesive display.
These items are available now at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood and will launch tomorrow, Thursday, June 18 at 9 a.m. PST on shopUniversal.com.
Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights runs select nights from Friday, August 28 through Sunday, November 1 at Universal Orlando Resort, and from Thursday, September 3 through Sunday, November 1 at Universal Studios Hollywood. Tickets are on sale now.
