ORLANDO, Fla. — “Stranger Things” is returning to Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights. The fourth season of the Netflix series will be showcased in a haunted house that includes the villanous Vecna character and its “blood-red mindscape,” Universal Orlando announced Thursday.
In addition, Frequent Fear Passes and other multinight tickets are now on sale on the event’s website.
Universal also revealed that four dates have been added to this year’s HHN, bringing the event to a total of 48 evenings. Visitors will now be able to experience Horror Nights through Nov. 4.
The 2023 edition of the “Stranger Things” house will include Hawkins Lab, Creel House, demobats, Eleven and other characters, Universal said.
“We’re excited for our fans to live Vecna’s curse as we re-create the iconic and terrifying moments from the show,” said Lora Sauls, assistant director, creative development and show direction at Universal Orlando Resort, in a news release.
The first season of “Stranger Things” was featured in a haunted house in 2018, and its second and third seasons were combined in a 2019 HHN house.
“From the opening shots of ‘Stranger Things 4,’ episode one, we knew this was meant to be an experience at Halloween Horror Nights,” said John Murdy, executive producer of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, which also will have a “Stranger Things” house this year.
Two other houses have been announced for 2023 Horror Nights in Orlando: One is based on the “Chucky” television series, and one is based on “The Last of Us” video game. There will be 10 haunted mazes, five scare zones and two shows this year.
