Thrill-seekers and horror fans can officially start planning their 2027 park visits. Universal Studios Hollywood has released its upcoming event lineup, confirming return dates for Universal Fan Fest Nights and its flagship event, Halloween Horror Nights.
Universal Fan Fest Nights
Universal Fan Fest Nights will return for its third year on select nights from April 16 through May 16. The separately ticketed, after-hours event brings together sci-fi, fantasy, anime, and gaming franchises. Past lineups featured properties such as “Scooby-Doo,” “One Piece,” “Sailor Moon,” and “Dungeons & Dragons.” Universal will release theme announcements for the 2027 season in the coming months.

Following a sold-out fall run, Universal Studios Hollywood confirmed Halloween Horror Nights 2027 will run on select nights from Sept. 2 through Oct. 31. While haunted house themes and scare zones remain under wraps, the 2026 event lineup featured major horror intellectual properties including “Sinners,” “Terrifier,” and “Obsession.”
