Universal’s HHN 35 Reveals Slow, With Only One House Officially Named

Overview

• Coverage Tuesday reported that Universal has confirmed only one haunted house so far, with no scare zones or live show details yet.
• Fans say the thin preview makes trip planning harder because tickets and add-ons are pricey for the 35th year.
• Reporters note a move away from the long-running Classic Monsters houses, which some link to Epic Universe’s Dark Universe giving those characters year-round exposure.
• In a typical year, Halloween Horror Nights rolls out about ten houses plus multiple scare zones and live shows through steady teasers, so the slower cadence stands out.
• Outlets also stress there is still time for Universal to announce more and point to the event’s history of delivering a full lineup by opening night.
