Following yesterday’s announcement of the first scare zone for the 34th year of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort, another themed scare zone announcement just dropped: Masquerade: Dance with Death.
You’re invited to a masquerade ball where bloodthirsty vampires lurk behind ornate disguises. When their masks fall, you’ll become their prey.
Coinciding with the event’s overarching theme of a gothic conservatory, Masquerade‘s concept artwork features candelabras and plenty of lit candlesticks set against a conservatory-style window with twisting thorny vines below.
Halloween Horror Nights is no stranger to bloodthirsty vampires, having featured them in fan-favorite scare zones like Vamp ‘55, Vamp ‘85, and Vamp ‘69 over the years. But with their return looming, the question lingers: will these creatures of the night draw inspiration from their past incarnations, or will they possess a new look?
What Else is Coming to Halloween Horror Nights 2025?
This year’s haunted house lineup includes originals GÁLKN: Monsters of the North, Grave of Flesh, Dolls: Let’s Play Dead, Hatchet & Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters, and El Artista: A Spanish Haunting, alongside highly-anticipated blockbusters including Art the Clown killing his way through a Terrifier-themed funhouse, Jason Universe based on the Friday the 13th franchise, and Fallout, based on the popular video game and Amazon Prime show.
Five Nights at Freddy’s has also been announced. We can assume this is another haunted house, but there were no further details given at the time of the June 2nd announcement: “Five Nights at Freddy’s is coming in a whole new way… More details coming soon.”
With Orlando’s typical lineup of 10 haunted houses, we still have two more official house announcements to go. We’re also anticipating more scare zones and entertainment news! Stay tuned!
The 34th annual Halloween Horror Nights will take place at Universal Studios Florida from August 29th through November 2nd, 2025. All tickets and Frequent Fear multi-night passes are available now – book your Universal Halloween trip HERE!
