Overview
- Universal formally announced INVASION: Alien Abduction as the latest haunted house for Halloween Horror Nights 35, describing a ship of “Grays” tearing apart a remote homestead in search of test subjects.
- Halloween Horror Nights 35 will run on select nights from August 28 to November 1, 2026, and the event will include a total of 10 haunted houses plus scare zones and live entertainment.
- The event’s headlining house remains Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, and Universal has already listed original and licensed houses including Sinners, Stranger Things, MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals, H.R. Bloodengutz, and Cybergoria.
- Fan outlets report that rumors of an It‑themed house are circulating but Universal has not confirmed that addition, so those reports should be treated as unverified.
- Coverage notes INVASION is an unusual creative choice for Horror Nights because the event rarely centers original alien sci‑fi, and the move recalls past franchise ties such as the 2014 AVP house while opening the door for more genre variety.
