This fall, Universal Studios is transformed into a dark netherworld offering no escape for its visitors. From all new chilling haunted houses designed to frighten even the bravest guests to new scare zones with no escape, Halloween Horror Nights celebrates its “Sweet 16” with an event unlike any before.

This year, for the first time ever, the most demented fiends of Halloween Horror Nights past — Jack the Clown, the Caretaker, the Director, and the Storyteller—have returned to terrorize you again. It’s a hideously twisted birthday celebration with a wickedly gruesome guest list.

For 19 select nights running from Sept. 29-30 and continuing through Oct. 6-8, 11-15, 19-22, 26-29, and 31, Halloween Horror Nights will bring guests' deepest and darkest nightmares to life.


Enjoy Halloween-themed fun every weekend in October at Six Flags Fright Fest. Creepy props, special effects and spooktacular events—even our rides are frightfully transformed during this haunted extravaganza.

Frights in all shapes and sizes.
Fright Fest offers thrills and chills for people of all ages. By day, you'll find family friendly events and good-natured spooks. But the frights really come out at night. Not for the squeamish, these extreme scares will send chills up your spine and leave your heart pounding in your chest.
