Overview
- Universal confirmed at Midsummer Scream on Sunday that Terror Tram will be retitled Terror Tram starring Art the Clown and reworked as a twisted holiday concept called “Every Day is Artmas!”.
- Metal band Ice Nine Kills will write and perform original, darker takes on Christmas songs as the Terror Tram soundtrack to heighten the tram’s zones and set pieces.
- The park also finalized its full Hollywood HHN 2026 lineup, adding KILLceañera with an original score and song by Slash, original houses such as Dead, Deader, Deadest, and returning IPs like Killer Klowns, Stranger Things, Hellraiser and Evil Dead Burn.
- Universal introduced a first‑ever daytime add‑on called Unmasking the Horror Tour that offers a lights‑on, behind‑the‑scenes walkthrough of select houses with designated photo areas.
- The Terror Tram takeover is part of a broader strategy to pair high‑profile creative collaborators and cross‑park character appearances—Art the Clown will also appear in Universal Orlando’s new Downtown Clowntown scare zone—while HHN Hollywood runs select nights Sept. 3 through Nov. 1, 2026.
