Just Announced: Jason Universe Haunted House at Halloween Horror Nights in 2025

Hey Universal Vacationers! Jason Voorhees is back—and this time, he’s headlining his very own haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights 2025 in both Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood.

Announced on Friday the 13th, the Jason Universe Haunted House drops you right into the nightmare that started it all: Camp Crystal Lake. If you’ve ever watched Friday the 13th and thought, “No way I’d survive that,” this is your chance to find out.

Let’s break down what you need to know, what to expect, and how to make sure you actually get in.

Quick Look: Jason Universe Haunted House at Halloween Horror Nights

What Is the Jason Universe Haunted House?

The Jason Universe Haunted House at Halloween Horror Nights is a brand-new maze inspired by the Friday the 13th franchise. It’s not just a remake of past versions—it’s a full-on tribute to Jason’s blood-soaked legacy.

You’ll walk through scenes pulled straight from the franchise, including:

• The rundown cabin Jason once called home
• The decaying lodge from Camp Crystal Lake
• Fog-drenched woods where Jason stalks his prey

This house will be packed with references fans will recognize and loaded with scares you won’t see coming. Universal promises “infamous killer moments” from Jason’s career—and if you’ve seen even one of the films, you know exactly what that means.

Jason’s History at Halloween Horror Nights

This isn’t Jason’s first time showing up at Universal, but it’s the first time he’s headlining a solo haunted house in years.

Here’s a quick recap of his HHN appearances:

• 1996 – Debuted at HHN Orlando in “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure”
• 2007-2008 – Part of Friday the 13th themed houses
• 2010, 2015, 2016, 2017 – Featured in mash-up mazes or as part of icons like Freddy vs. Jason
• 2025 – Now featured in a fully dedicated house: Jason Universe

So yeah, Jason has history here. But 2025 is different—it’s his show now.

How to Experience Jason Universe Without the Long Lines

Halloween Horror Nights is intense—and it gets crowded. If you’re dead-set on experiencing the Jason Universe Haunted House without waiting 2+ hours, here are your best options:

Pro Tip: RIP Tours and Express Passes usually sell out weeks before the event starts. If Jason Universe is at the top of your list, book early or risk missing out.

What Makes Jason Universe Unique?

• Camp Crystal Lake setting – Unlike urban horror houses, this one drops you in the middle of the woods
• First-person victim angle – You’re not watching the story… you are the story
• Decades of horror history – Pulls from multiple films in the Friday the 13th franchise
• Fresh layout – This isn’t a repeat of past Jason houses. It’s completely reimagined for 2025

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
