Universal Studios Hollywood Announces Ticket Sales and Return of Two Mazes for Halloween Horror Nights 2021

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood is back with a vengeance as tickets are now on sale with menacing fan-favorite mazes, “The Exorcist” and “The Curse of Pandora’s Box,” joining an unnerving line-up at Southern California’s intensely immersive Halloween event.

“The Exorcist” made its Halloween Horror Nights debut at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2016. With its 2021 return, fans will again be able to experience some of the most haunting scenes from the film while trying to survive the battle between good and evil as 12-year-old Regan’s soul hangs in the balance. This year, guests will be possessed by “The Exorcist” maze, often revered as the most terrifying movie of all time, as they live the tormented aberrations experienced by Regan and her determined mother.


2021 will also make the return of the original concept maze, “The Curse of Pandora’s Box.” Introduced in 2019, “The Curse of Pandora’s Box” is inspired by the most fearsome creatures in Greek mythology. This disturbing experience transports guests from the land of the living to the nightmarish netherworld of Hades, where the demonic temptress Pandora serves as their guide.


“The Exorcist” and “The Curse of Pandora’s Box” join the previously announced mazes “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” and “Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives” with more mazes and experiences to be announced soon.

Halloween Horror Nights will take place at Universal Studios Hollywood on September 9-12, 16-19, 23-26, 30, and October 1-3, 7-10, 14-17, 21-24, 28-31. Tickets are available now at Hollywood.HalloweenHorrorNights.com, with tickets expected to sell out due to popular demand.
