It’s Friday the 13th, which means it’s the perfect day for Halloween Horror Nights to announce an all-new haunted house featuring Jason from the infamous “Friday the 13th” films. The all-original haunted house, “Jason Universe,” will take guests back to the summer camp where the gruesome legend was born at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood.
For 45 years, Jason has tormented audiences worldwide and is considered one of the most notorious villains in cinematic history. This fall, the twisted, creative minds behind Halloween Horror Nights pay homage to the machete-wielding slasher in a horrifying haunted house that re-awakens the legend to terrify old and new fans alike.
“Jason Universe” will take Halloween Horror Nights guests on a vengeance tour throughout the summer camp to see where it all began, from the creaking floorboards of Jason’s ramshackle cabin to the decaying main lodge and the eerie forest that offers no refuge for his victims. Around every corner, fans will be inundated with infamous killer moments from Jason’s heinous homicidal career as he taunts and stalks his victims, who learn too late that the legend is real.
Halloween Horror Nights begins on Friday, August 29, 2025, at Universal Orlando Resort and on Thursday, September 4, at Universal Studios Hollywood.
A variety of Halloween Horror Nights ticket options for Universal Studios Hollywood, which runs select nights from September 4 through November 2, are now available, including General Admission, Universal Express, After 2 P.M.
