Overview
- The long-running Horror Make‑Up Show, which required wristbands for farewell performances Monday, closes on Tuesday, May 12, for a full overhaul.
- Universal says the new version will blend classic and modern horror properties and keep the show’s irreverent, comedy-first tone.
- Multiple outlets now expect the reopening in Winter 2027 after an earlier late‑2026 target, following a separate delay that pushed the closure from January to May.
- Universal offered annual passholders reserved seating from May 4 to May 10, signaling heavy demand leading into the final day.
- The show’s future creative partners remain unconfirmed, and fan talk linking Blumhouse is speculation with no official backing.
