The second original Haunted House has officially been announced for Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights event. Hatchet & Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters is a direct spinoff from last year’s Slaughter Sinema 2 house. Remember those western demons and clinking chains?
Here’s the story for this year’s original house:
In this Old West town, all hell is breaking loose. Red-hot lava demons are trying to possess everyone, melting everything in their path.

Hatchet and Chains joins the lineup of previously announced houses, including the first original announcement El Artista: A Spanish Haunting, and highly anticipated blockbusters including Jason Universe based on the Friday the 13th franchise, and Fallout, based on the popular video game and Amazon Prime show.
We still have a six more house announcements to go, and cannot wait to see what else is in store!
