READ: EXCLUSIVE: WWE’s Wyatt Sicks House at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights Rumor Confirmed
While Universal has yet to release any official details about this year’s houses or themes, speculation is already heating up.
As we exclusively reported, That Park Place can confirm that a haunted house themed around WWE’s sinister faction, The Wyatt Sicks, is planned for HHN 34.

This marks WWE’s return to Halloween Horror Nights after more than two decades, the last collaboration being the Undertaker No Mercy house back in 2000.
Fans of the late Bray Wyatt and his dark storytelling will undoubtedly be excited to see this creepy faction brought to life with Universal’s unparalleled production expertise.
Beyond The Wyatt Sicks, several other properties are rumored to be part of this year’s lineup.
Abby in The Last of Us Part II (2020), Naughty Dog
Among the strongest contenders:
- Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: A fan-favorite from its 2021 HHN debut, the mischievous ghost is rumored to make his return.
- The Last of Us Part 2: Following 2023’s successful adaptation of the first game, the far less popular and divisive sequel’s dark, harrowing world could work for a haunted house.
- Blumhouse Collaboration: While Blumhouse houses have been a staple at HHN, Universal might face a tough choice this year. The recent Universal-Blumhouse collaboration, The Wolfman, is a potential contender. However, given its poor reviews and box office struggles, Universal may look elsewhere.
Additionally, HHN typically includes a Classic Universal Monsters house, a nod to the studio’s iconic horror history. Expect something fresh yet familiar for fans of Dracula, the Mummy, and other legendary creatures. This will be the first Halloween Horror Nights after the opening of Universal’s new Epic Universe theme park, which will feature Dark Universe, a land specifically devoted to these horror icons.

Universal has also had great success with original houses and scare zones in recent years. These unique creations add a layer of rich storytelling and creativity, enhancing the overall HHN experience. Fans can likely anticipate more of these original concepts this year.
Tickets for Halloween Horror Nights 34 are not yet available, but with the earliest start date ever, expect an announcement soon. Whether you’re a WWE fan, a horror enthusiast, or simply love the spectacle of HHN, this year’s event promises to be one of the biggest yet.
