Universal Studios Hollywood Adds Evil Dead Burn Haunted House to Halloween Horror Nights 2026
Universal Studios Hollywood will feature a new Evil Dead Burn haunted house during its Halloween Horror Nights 2026 event, which runs on 42 select nights from September 3 to November 1. The maze, titled Evil Dead Burn, will be based on the July 10, 2026 theatrical release of the sixth film in the Evil Dead franchise.
The event’s lineup now includes four confirmed haunted houses: the new Evil Dead Burn, a Stranger Things finale, a Sinners vampire house, and the first appearance of Hellraiser. All four will be available in the Hollywood park, which also offers multiple scare zones and the Terror Tram.
The Evil Dead Burn maze will take guests into the Price family’s secluded vacation home in the woods, where they will encounter Deadites—shape‑shifting, flesh‑eating monsters that appear in the film. Visitors will hear Book of the Dead incantations read aloud, a key element of the movie’s plot, and will pass through scenes that mirror the film’s most intense moments.
The film itself was released in France on July 8, 2026, and in the United States on July 10 by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was produced by Ghost House Pictures, with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert as producers and Bruce Campbell as an executive producer. Directed and co‑written by Sébastien Vaniček, the movie stars Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Erroll Shand, and Maude Davey.
Evil Dead Burn is a standalone entry that follows the family‑centric story of a woman who seeks refuge with her in‑laws after her husband’s death. The plot begins in a lakeside setting similar to that of Evil Dead Rise, the previous film in the series, and escalates as family members turn into Deadites. A post‑credits scene hints at a broader connection to the franchise.
The film’s budget was $20 million, and it has grossed $51.1 million worldwide to date. Critical reception has been mixed, with reviewers noting the film’s blend of gore and dark humor but also pointing out that it diverges from the tone of earlier entries.
Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights has previously featured Evil Dead mazes in 2013, 2017, and 2023. The 2026 edition will be the first time the franchise has appeared in the park since 2023.
Tickets for the 2026 event start at $77 for general admission. Season passes range from $179 to $299, offering unlimited access to all haunted houses and attractions during the event’s run.
The addition of Evil Dead Burn to the lineup follows the park’s strategy of pairing popular film franchises with immersive, themed experiences. By aligning the maze with a recent theatrical release, Universal aims to attract fans of the franchise while providing fresh scares for repeat visitors.
As the event approaches, Universal has not yet announced specific opening dates for the maze beyond the overall event schedule. However, the park’s website lists the new house among the confirmed attractions, and it will be available on all 42 nights of the Halloween Horror Nights 2026 run.
The inclusion of Evil Dead Burn, alongside Stranger Things, Sinners, and Hellraiser, reflects Universal Studios Hollywood’s broader trend of incorporating high‑profile horror properties into its seasonal programming. The park’s 2026 lineup also features multiple scare zones and the Terror Tram, ensuring a varied experience for guests.
In summary, Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights 2026 will feature a new Evil Dead Burn haunted house that draws directly from the July 2026 film. The maze will immerse visitors in the franchise’s signature blend of supernatural terror and dark humor, offering a new chapter for fans and a fresh scare for all attendees.
