Horror Nights house 7: ‘Wolfish fiends,’ fjords, cool atmosphere

The stream of haunted houses for Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights continues to trickle out, and Friday’s announcement sounds like a cool relief for folks living through another Florida summer. The maze, the seventh announced for the 2025 event, is called Galkn: Monsters of the North, and it looks cool, in the literal way.

“In a remote northern village, a wicked being rises from the dead, bringing a horde of monsters and demons from the fjords to wreak havoc on the townspeople.,” reads a post on Universal Orlando‘s social media platforms. “You’ll face icy, horned, winged and wolfish fiends that gradually merge into one giant horror. Then you’ll try to escape the belly of the beast.”

It’s the fifth (and final) original house announced within a week for HHN, which begins at Universal Studios Florida theme park on Aug. 19.

Previously announced originals include Grave of the Flesh (featuring flesh-eaters); Dolls: Let’s Play Dead (created by twisted little girl); Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters (spawn of Sinister Sinema 2); and El Artista: A Spanish Haunting (spooky paintings).

For mazes tied to existing intellectual properties, there will be “Fallout,” inspired by a videogame and Prime streaming series, and Jason Universe, born out of “Friday the 13th” characters.

Universal officials says “Five Nights at Freddy’s” will be part of 2025 Horror Nights, but a house has not been announced for that movie. There will be 10 mazes in this year’s HHN, plus five scare zones and as-yet-unannounced live entertainment.
