Another Terrifying Maze and Return of Terror Tram Announced for Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights

Universal Studios Hollywood unveiled details around its remaining Halloween Horror Nights lineup on Tuesday. While it was revealed during Midsummer Scream’s Awaken the Spirits Halloween Horror Nights panel that Terror Tram would make its return for 2021, Universal Studios has now shared this year’s theme. The theme park also announced the return of the 2018 maze “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers,” along with ticket sales for R.I.P. Tour and multi-night visits.

New ticket options, including the R.I.P. Tour, Ultimate Fear, and Frequent Fear passes, provide a one-of-a-kind experience to this year’s most extreme and intensely immersive Halloween event as fans will be terrorized and entertained by new mazes, Terror Tram, scare zones, theme park attractions and a hip hop show.

Based on the successful Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions’ film franchise, “Terror Tram: The Ultimate Purge” takes guests on a nightmarish journey into the world of “The Purge” as they try to survive the night along the world-famous Universal backlot. The annual tradition of The Purge is a one-night event when all crime is legal; however, as the latest film, “The Forever Purge” depicts, members of an underground movement believe that The Purge should be every day – and plan to overtake America through a relentless campaign of mayhem and massacre. Check out the video below for a first look at “Terror Tram: The Ultimate Purge.”


Guests will be stalked at every turn in the “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers” maze, based on the classic slasher from Trancas International Films. With his haunting white mask and signature steel knife, the relentless Myers is ready to resume his killing spree and terrorize the people of Haddonfield as he hunts for his niece Jamie to finally seek his revenge. Get a preview of the returning maze below:


“Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers” joins this year’s previously announced lineup of mazes that also includes:

  • The Haunting of Hill House,” based on Netflix’s critically-acclaimed supernatural thriller.
  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” a chilling maze featuring a demented Leatherface and his unrelenting chainsaw.
  • Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives,” inspired by Universal Pictures’ cinematic monsters with an all-original story about one of the studio’s most infamous creatures. GRAMMY® Award-winning musician, SLASH collaborates with Universal Studios Hollywood to compose an original score for the maze and scare zone.
  • The Exorcist maze will possess guests as they live the tormented aberrations experienced by Regan and her determined mother.
  • “The Curse of Pandora’s Box” is an original concept maze inspired by the most fearsome creatures in Greek mythology.
  • “The Walking Dead,” a fully immersive journey inspired by AMC’s popular television series.

This year’s lineup of fun also includes the return of award-winning hip hop dance crew Jabbawockeez with nightly performances of its high-energy show featuring their gravity-defying dance moves, elevated by special effects and pulse-pounding music. All-new scare zones designed to taunt, terrorize and torment guests as they navigate the darkness from one frightening maze to another will come to life throughout the theme park with these chilling experiences:

  • “Universal Monsters: Silver Scream Queenz,” adjacent to the “Bride of Frankenstein Lives” maze, is the first all-female scare zone featuring The Bride of Frankenstein, Anck-Su-Namun The Mummy, Dracula’s Daughter and She-Wolf of London.
  • “Chainsaw Rangers” is a diabolical gang of chainsaw wielding maniacs who strike upon those entering “Halloween Horror Nights.”
  • New York Street becomes “Demon City” where bloodthirsty demonic-looking clubgoers prowl the night looking for their next victims.
