Universal Orlando’s Horror Make‑Up Show Closes Tuesday for Reimagining
The pause removes a rare high‑capacity, sit‑down show that eased heat and crowd pressure for families.
Overview
- The Horror Make‑Up Show, which closes Tuesday, is giving its final performances this weekend before work starts on a new version.
- Universal says a reimagined production is planned for later in 2026 with no creative details or opening date announced.
- Annual passholders received first‑come reserved seating from May 4 through May 10 as a sendoff for the original run.
- The closure takes away an air‑conditioned, high‑throughput theater that absorbed guests and offered an easy mid‑day break.
- The attraction opened with the park in 1990 and became a cult favorite for live comedy and practical movie effects.
