Overview
- Universal announced Wednesday that Madlands: Caged Cannibals is a new original haunted house for Halloween Horror Nights 35, placing guests in a decaying zoo controlled by rival cannibal factions.
- Creative leads describe the house as one of the bloodiest of the season, with tribes that adopt animal traits from the ruined zoo and intense, in‑your‑face scares enhanced by sensory effects.
- Madlands is the third original house confirmed for HHN 35 and joins previously announced originals featuring H. R. Bloodengutz and Jack & Oddfellow alongside IP houses such as Stranger Things 5 and Sinners.
- Universal has put select tickets, vacation packages and event add‑ons on sale, including single‑night admission, Express Passes, R.I.P. Tours, Behind the Screams tours, Scream Early access and limited Premium Scream Night dates.
- The zoo‑cannibal premise echoes earlier HHN post‑apocalyptic motifs and fans should expect more house announcements and event details in the weeks before the Aug. 28 start date.
