Stranger Things Confirmed for Halloween Horror Nights 35

Stranger Things is officially coming to Halloween Horror Nights 35, and Universal just dropped the teaser to prove it. This haunted house is based on Stranger Things 5, the final season of the Netflix series, which means Universal had a whole final battle’s worth of material to pull from.

If you’ve been waiting to see how Universal handles the show’s ending, this house puts you right in the middle of it. Here’s everything confirmed so far about the Stranger Things house at Halloween Horror Nights 35.

Quick Summary

• Stranger Things is the first confirmed IP for Halloween Horror Nights 35 at Universal Orlando and Hollywood
• The house is based on Stranger Things 5, the final season of the Netflix series
• Guests move through the Wheeler House, Hawkins National Laboratory, the MAC-Z military base, the Upside Down, and the Abyss
• Demogorgons and other creatures hunt guests throughout, with Vecna closing in
• A limited merchandise collection is available now at Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood
• Single-night tickets at Universal Orlando start at $88 and are on sale now

Inside the Stranger Things Haunted House

The haunted house puts guests at the center of the final battle to save Hawkins as the barrier between reality and the supernatural collapses. You’ll move through iconic locations from the show, including:

• The Wheeler House
• Hawkins National Laboratory
• The MAC-Z military base
• The Upside Down
• The Abyss

Throughout the house, Demogorgons and other supernatural creatures hunt guests at every turn, with Vecna closing in as the terror builds toward an all-or-nothing fight for survival. Universal describes the experience as an authentic, visceral take on the season’s most gripping moments, putting guests face to face with characters and scenes pulled directly from the show.

Stranger Things Merchandise Available Now

A limited-release merchandise collection inspired by the Stranger Things haunted house is available now at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. The collection includes:

• A T-shirt and mug with an ’80s-inspired design
• A Stranger Things-themed acrylic figure that fits into the separately sold Infernal Carnival collectible display

The collection launches online Thursday, June 18 at 9am PST at shopUniversal.com. Additional Halloween Horror Nights merchandise and more collectibles representing this year’s full haunted house lineup will follow in the months ahead, so this is just the first wave.

What Else to Know About Halloween Horror Nights 35

The Stranger Things house is the first confirmed IP for Halloween Horror Nights 35, which is the largest event in the history of the franchise. The event features 10 all-new haunted houses built around the “Infernal Carnival of Nightmares” theme, co-hosted by iconic HHN characters Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow.

Single-night tickets at Universal Orlando start at $88 and are on sale now, with prices varying by date up to $130 on peak October Saturdays. If you want to see this house and the rest of the lineup as it gets announced, locking in tickets early on cheaper dates is the smart move before the event sells closer to October.

Why Ending With Stranger Things Makes Sense

Stranger Things has been one of the most requested Halloween Horror Nights houses for years, and Universal has built several houses around the show during earlier seasons of the series. Closing it out with a house based on the final season gives Universal a natural send-off point, and it lets the haunted house format do what it does best: drop guests directly into the most intense moments of a story they already know.

The location list alone, spanning the Wheeler House, Hawkins Lab, the MAC-Z base, and two trips into the Upside Down, suggests this house covers a wide swath of the final season rather than focusing on just one or two big moments. That’s a more ambitious build than a typical single-location haunted house.

What This Means for the Rest of HHN35

With Stranger Things confirmed as the first house, Universal still has nine more to announce for what it’s calling the largest Halloween Horror Nights event in the franchise’s history. Past years suggest Universal typically reveals new houses every few weeks leading up to the event’s opening night, so expect a steady drip of announcements through the summer.

Should You Buy Tickets Now?

Single-night ticket prices at Universal Orlando climb as October gets closer and weekends fill up, so locking in a date now on a cheaper weeknight is the better financial move if your schedule allows it. If Stranger Things is your must-see house, treat that as extra motivation to book early rather than waiting for the full ten-house lineup to be revealed.

Final Thoughts on the Stranger Things HHN35 House

Ending the Stranger Things story inside a Halloween Horror Nights house is a strong way to close out the series, and the location list alone, from the Wheeler House to the Upside Down, suggests Universal is going all in on this one. With nine more houses still to be announced for the largest HHN event ever, this is shaping up to be a year worth planning around.

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!
