Universal has officially announced the first scare zone lined up for Halloween Horror Nights 35 at Universal Studios Florida: Infernal Carnival of Nightmares.
Universal shared on social media:
Scare Zone Announcement: Infernal Carnival of Nightmares
Jack and Dr. Oddfellow invite you to step right up and see what horrors hide in every shadow at a sinister spectacle decades in the making.
The announcement artwork also appears as if this scare zone will serve as a celebration of Halloween Horror Nights’ legendary original Icons. The graphic prominently highlights the word “ICON,” with the first letter of each word in Infernal Carnival of Nightmares colored red, making the hidden message hard to miss.
Since Jack’s debut at Halloween Horror Nights X, the Icons have become a quintessential part of the HHN storytelling. With fan-favorites like The Caretaker, The Usher, Chance and the other Icons having not been seen since their last incorporation during 2021’s 30th anniversary event, there’s always an excitement to see these legends of Halloween return yet again to cause some carnage.
