Overview
- Universal, which announced the house on Friday, June 26, unveiled INVASION: Alien Abduction as a new original haunted house built around classic “Gray” aliens and an attack on a remote homestead.
- INVASION is one of seven of the planned 10 houses that Universal has revealed so far for Halloween Horror Nights 35, joining a mix of original concepts and licensed properties such as Stranger Things 5.
- Halloween Horror Nights 35 will run select nights from August 28 through November 1 and Universal is offering Premium Scream Night add‑ons on August 27 and October 19 with single‑night tickets and other add‑ons available.
- Coverage and fan reaction frame the alien premise as an unusually bold creative move for HHN because science‑fiction horror has rarely been the centerpiece of the event’s original houses.
- The reveal taps into a wider uptick in public interest in UFO and extraterrestrial stories and could encourage Universal to expand into less‑used corners of horror if guest response to INVASION is strong.
