It’s official! The classic horror icon Michael Myers is returning this year for Halloween Horror Nights both at Universal Orlando and Hollywood. Set to the original movie from 1978, we’ll experience the terrors of the boogeyman face to face. Universal had this to say about the upcoming house:
“Gather your friends and visit Haddonfield, Illinois, where Michael Myers is about to don his mask and embark on his first brutal spree. Silent. Merciless. Relentless. He’s the embodiment of pure evil. You don’t want to go alone as you go back to where it all began. This year, step into the original 1978 horror classic, Halloween.” - Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights

As you may remember from when we originally discussed the first HHN Spec Map for this year, I had shared my honest thoughts on the idea of bringing back Halloween (and the still rumored Evil Dead) yet again to this event. With a lineup of houses that brings a unique flare, I much rather would have seen a house that hasn’t been done before. Especially coming off of an anniversary year where we spent several houses returning to familiar ground, it feels like we’re coming back to the well of ‘Halloween’ one too many times. However, the marketing for this house does bring a unique flavor to the intellectual property. It will be interesting to see what Universal Creative does to freshen up an otherwise stale property. The return of this house will coincide with the third and final installment of the new Halloween series, “Halloween Ends”, expected to release on October 14, 2022.
What are your thoughts on the classic ‘Halloween’ returning to Halloween Horror Nights once again? Do you think that there will be a fresh take on the story, or do you believe that we’ll have another faithful adaptation of the original movie? Let us know what you think down below in the comments!
Halloween Horror Nights returns on September 2nd in Orlando, and September 8th in Hollywood. Both events will run on select nights through October 31st. Be sure to subscribe to our mailing list to stay up-to-date with all the news about the event!
