Hey Universal Vacationers! If you’ve ever dreamed of surviving a nuclear apocalypse, dodging Raiders, and crawling through a radioactive grocery store—Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights just made that dream a terrifying reality.
Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood have officially announced one of the first haunted houses for Halloween Horror Nights 2025, and it’s a big one: a Fallout Haunted House at Halloween Horror Nights is coming this year.
Let’s break it down so you know exactly what to expect, when to go, and how to prepare.
What Is the Fallout Haunted House at Halloween Horror Nights?
The Fallout haunted house is based on both the 2024 Prime Video hit series and the popular Fallout video game franchise by Bethesda. It will feature major story elements, settings, and creatures directly inspired by Fallout’s post-apocalyptic universe.
You’ll start underground in Vault 33 following Lucy MacLean, a vault dweller escaping a brutal massacre. Then things get worse.
You’ll face:
- Scavengers and Raiders desperate to survive
- Giant mutated RAD Roaches
- The eerie Super Duper Mart
- Iconic characters like The Ghoul and Maximus in T-60 armor
Universal says this haunted house will make guests feel like they’ve stepped into the Wasteland itself, dodging radiation and danger at every turn.
Fallout at HHN: How It Compares to Past Video Game Houses
This isn’t Universal’s first time turning a video game into a haunted house.
Here are some past examples:
| Year | House | Game |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | The Last of Us | Naughty Dog |
| 2013 | Resident Evil: Escape from Raccoon City | Capcom |
| 2012 | Silent Hill | Konami |
Each of those houses focused on psychological horror, jump scares, and atmosphere. But the Fallout Haunted House stands out because of its dark humor, mutant creatures, and retro-futuristic setting. It’s less “zombie apocalypse” and more “nuclear chaos with giant bugs and power armor.”
