Halloween Horror Nights Invites Guests Into a ‘Sinners’ Haunt!

Every single year, I make the same statement: for me, Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in both Hollywood and Orlando is my official kickoff to Halloween season. This is the moment I go full-on Halloween mode for two straight months filled with flavored beers, pumpkin spice, and all the things fall has to offer.

While there are haunted attractions all across the country – many of them an absolute blast, with some feeling more dangerous than others – Halloween Horror Nights remains the premiere event. It’s the full experience, packed with massive IPs and all of our favorite horror characters brought to life through several haunts spread across the Universal Studios locations. It never disappoints, and somehow, they always find a way to top themselves.

This year’s first major announcement is that they’ve turned Sinners, the Oscar-winning vampire horror film from Ryan Coogler, into a haunted attraction. Here are the details.

Following an over $370 million global box office run and earning widespread acclaim from audiences and critics alike, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Sinners adds “haunted house” to its repertoire as it joins Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights lineup of immersive experiences beginning Friday, August 28, at Universal Orlando Resort and Thursday, September 3, at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The film takes place in 1930s Mississippi Delta, where twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to their hometown to open a juke joint for their community. Celebration turns to panic as a troupe of unrelenting vampires crash the opening night, threatening to violently curse the guests in a brutal battle for survival.

The terrifying Halloween Horror Nights house will transport guests back in time to the popular Club Juke where they will quickly realize that nothing is as it seems when nefarious, red-eyed vampires Remmick, Bert and Joan appear with their insatiable hunger. As they attempt to evade the vampires at every turn, fans will encounter some of their favorite characters lifted straight from the film, including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline and Cornbread. Caught in a deadly struggle between twins Smoke and Stack and the bloodthirsty vampires, guests must survive the night – because the terror will only relent once the sun rises.
