Universal: Demon Bounty Hunters house set for Horror Nights
The fourth haunted house for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights is a throwback to last year’s event at Universal Studios, the theme park announced Monday. Visitors will experience Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters in a larger format in 2025, Universal Orlando says.
“In this Old West town, all hell is breaking loose,” reads a social media description. “Red-hot lava demons are trying to possess everyone, melting everything in their path.”
Hatchet and Chains was one of the featured presentations within the 2024 house called Slaughter Sinema 2, which was a round-up maze of (fictional) B-movies. The Hatchet scenes included a saloon, demons and the scent of roses. The original Slaughter Sinema concept debuted at HHN in 2018.
Among other elements of Slaughter Cinema 2 were “Night of the Undead Clowns,” “Mardi Gras Murders,” “Mummy Strippers: Unwrapped” and the Carey Drive-In.
Three houses previously announced for the next Horror Nights are based on “Fallout,” a Prime streaming series and videogame; Jason Universe, featuring “Friday the 13th” fare; and El Artista: A Spanish Haunting, an original maze starring a tortured artist and haunted paintings. Ten haunted houses are expected for HHN 2025, the event’s 34th edition.
Halloween Horror Nights is an after-hours, extra-ticket fright fest held on select nights between Aug. 29 and Nov. 2. Single-night tickets and some add-ons are now on sale at halloweenhorrornights.com.
