The Purge: Dangerous Waters Returns to HHN Hollywood’s WaterWorld

Universal confirmed the stunt-and-pyro spectacle will run again this fall, signaling a broader, IP-driven expansion of Halloween Horror Nights.

Overview

  • Universal has confirmed The Purge: Dangerous Waters will run at Halloween Horror Nights in the WaterWorld arena for a fourth consecutive year as a nighttime stunt show.
  • The live show follows a politician and his entourage who flee to an island that is quickly overrun by Purgers, translating the Blumhouse premise into a staged narrative.
  • The production relies on large-scale stunts, high-fall fire burns, pyrotechnics, explosions and lighting effects that recreate WaterWorld’s daily action sequences with added horror elements.
  • Halloween Horror Nights 2026 is being promoted as a record 42-night season with eight haunted houses, a Terror Tram, multiple scare zones, expanded ticket tiers and more reveals expected at Midsummer Scream.
  • WaterWorld has long been repurposed for HHN — previously used for SlaughterWorld and as queue space — and the attraction’s spectacle raises practical notes for guests about splashing, sightlines and ticket demand.
