What Universal Officially Said About Evil Dead Burn HHN
“Evil Dead Burn, New Line Cinema’s latest film in the iconic Evil Dead franchise takes shape as the newest Halloween Horror Nights haunted house, beginning August 28 at Universal Orlando Resort and September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
First introduced in 1981, Evil Dead has evolved from an independent cult classic to one of today’s most terrifying horror properties. Blending extreme gore with dark humor, the franchise consistently centers on the Book of the Dead, an ancient text that unleashes supernatural parasitic demons who possess and twist their victims into Deadites.
Inspired by the franchise’s latest installment, Evil Dead Burn, the haunted houses will take guests on a terrifying firsthand journey through the film’s most frightening moments that begin at the Price family’s secluded vacation home in the woods. The nightmare grows more and more fierce as guests venture through the haunted house, encountering ferocious Deadites around every turn before succumbing to the evil forces themselves.
Guests can continue to show their fandom for this year’s haunted house lineup with all-new limited-release merchandise inspired by the unstoppable terror of Evil Dead Burn. This collection includes a T-shirt and hat, along with its own acrylic figure designed for the infernal carnival collectible display. Guests can shop these items at both parks beginning Tuesday, July 21 and the next day at 9 a.m. PST on shopUniversal.com, with additional merchandise emerging later this year.

A New Chapter in the Evil Dead Saga
The Evil Dead franchise has terrified audiences for more than four decades, becoming one of horror’s most recognizable series. The 2026 film introduces a brand-new chapter while honoring the series’ signature blend of supernatural horror, graphic gore, and dark humor.
While longtime fans can expect familiar mythology surrounding the Necronomicon and the Deadites, the new film expands the Evil Dead universe with fresh characters, terrifying new monsters, and unforgettable set pieces that are perfectly suited for a Halloween Horror Nights adaptation. As with previous Universal horror collaborations, guests should expect movie-quality sets and screen-accurate creature designs that immerse them directly into the story.
Evil Dead Returns to Halloween Horror Nights
This isn’t the first time the Evil Dead franchise has appeared at Halloween Horror Nights. Previous houses based on the franchise have become fan favorites thanks to their creative scares, chainsaw-wielding Deadites, and unforgettable gore effects. Bringing the newest film to the event allows Universal to introduce an entirely new generation of horror fans to one of the genre’s most iconic franchises. With the newest chapter serving as inspiration, this year’s house offers an all-new experience that even longtime HHN veterans won’t have seen before.
Halloween Horror Nights 2026 Continues to Build an Incredible Lineup
The addition of Evil Dead Burn HHN continues to strengthen the 2026 event, joining an increasingly impressive lineup of original concepts and blockbuster horror properties across both coasts. As additional haunted houses, scare zones, live entertainment, themed food, beverages, and exclusive merchandise are announced, this year’s event is shaping up to be another must-visit season for horror fans. Whether you’re a longtime follower of the Evil Dead franchise or experiencing the terror for the first time, this haunted house looks ready to deliver plenty of blood, scares, and unforgettable moments.
Plan Your Visit
Halloween Horror Nights is a separately ticketed event held on select nights at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood.

Tour to maximize the number of haunted houses they can experience in a single evening.
