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.
