Hey Universal Vacationers! If you’ve ever wished you could step inside Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria and live to tell the tale—this is your chance. Universal Orlando has officially announced a haunted house based on Five Nights at Freddy’s for Halloween Horror Nights 2025, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated houses of the year.
Let’s break down everything we know about the experience, what makes it a big deal, and how you can actually enjoy it without waiting two hours in line.
What Is the Five Nights at Freddy’s Haunted House?
This new haunted house is based on the 2023 film adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s, which became Blumhouse’s highest-grossing movie to date. Just like the movie—and the wildly popular video game series—it drops you into a nightmarish version of a kids’ entertainment center, where nothing is what it seems and everything wants to kill you.
Guests will follow the story of Mike, a desperate night security guard who takes a job at the abandoned Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. Once inside, it quickly becomes clear that the place holds dark secrets. As you move through the house, you’ll encounter the film’s most iconic locations—including the security room and the showroom—and come face-to-face with life-sized versions of Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and even Mr. Cupcake.
And yes—these animatronic characters were brought to life in collaboration with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the same team that handled them for the movie. So expect Hollywood-level design and jump scares around every corner.
When and Where Is Halloween Horror Nights 2025?
Halloween Horror Nights 2025 takes place at Universal Studios Florida on select nights from August 29 through November 2. The Five Nights at Freddy’s haunted house is just one of ten haunted houses planned for this year’s event.
