Get the scoop on Halloween Horror Nights 2025 rumors—from rumored IPs like “Poltergeist” to WWE crossovers and major scare zone shakeups at Universal Orlando.

Current rumors lead to informed sources believing that Orlando Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) fans must wait until June for their first house announcement. However, the HHN speculation season never rests.

Speculation season intensified with an Easter Horror Night Nightmares speculation map that came out a few weeks after the first version of the speculation map (version 1.0.). Rumors about HHN houses have come and gone, and then come back again. With the excitement of Universal Epic Universe filling the promotional period for Universal Orlando Resort, the Halloween Horror Nights speculation season has been longer than usual.

Expected Halloween Horror Nights Houses

At this point, three intellectual properties look to be coming to Halloween Horror Nights for sure. These consist of:

• “Terrifier”
• “Fallout”
• “Five Nights at Freddy’s”

While nothing is confirmed, the rumors of these intellectual properties being a part of HHN 2025 only grow stronger.

What About “Poltergeist” Coming to Halloween Horror Nights 2025 in Orlando?

All signs and facades point to “Poltergeist” coming to Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. What about at Universal Studios Florida theme park? Rumors about this movie being a part of HHN on both coasts picked up steam with the Easter Horror Night Nightmares speculation map. When the symbol with a ghost changed to be part of a lightbulb, people leaned towards this idea over the now-dead “Scream” rumor.

The speculation about “Poltergeist” coming to Orlando has died down. The idea is still floating in the rumor mill, but will likely only be in Hollywood.

Jason Voorhees and “Friday the 13th” rumors

Even though the rights issues for using “Friday the 13th” are complicated, to say the least, the rumor of Jason Voorhees appearing at Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando persists. If this happens, it will most likely be a house or part of a house featuring Jason, but not much plot from the “Friday the 13th” movies due to contract and rights issues. It has been many years since Jason Voorhees was a key figure in a Halloween Horror Nights house.

HHN 2025: WWE Rumor

The on-again, off-again rumor of a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) house coming to Halloween Horror Nights 2025 is on again. The most recent Horror Nights Nightmares speculation map shows what looks like a wrestling ring with a coffin in the middle. Whether this house focuses on The Undertaker, or the Wyatt Sicks (or some combination) is undetermined. If this rumor turns into reality, Halloween Horror Nights fans should expect plenty of promotion from WWE media outlets.

Wyatt Sicks

The Wyatt Sicks make the most logical aspect of WWE culture to be a part of a Halloween Horror Nights house. The Wyatt Sicks, also known as Wyatt Sick6, functions as a WWE faction introduced in June 2024 as a tribute to the late Bray Wyatt. The group is led by Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas, Wyatt’s real-life brother), including Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross. Each member embodies a live-action version of Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse characters, such as Abby the Witch and Huskus the Pig Boy.

Their debut on Monday Night Raw featured a horror-themed backstage scene, culminating in Uncle Howdy leading the group to the ring and extinguishing Wyatt’s signature lantern. This moment also resulted from months of cryptic teasers involving QR codes and online puzzles.

Initially, the Wyatt Sicks garnered significant attention and praise for their unique presentation. However, they have been absent from WWE programming since December 2024. Reports suggest Bo Dallas has been medically cleared to return, indicating a potential comeback for the faction.

The Wyatt Sicks represent WWE’s effort to continue Bray Wyatt’s legacy, blending psychological storytelling with horror elements. Fans eagerly await their return and the evolution of their narrative. Would this fan enthusiasm make this a good Halloween Horror Nights house? We shall see if it moves from rumor to reality.

Any Rumors about the Original Houses at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando 2025?

Original houses are tougher to get a good handle on and what rumors have some credibility. Based on the Horror Nights Nightmares speculation maps and other common rumors, some original house ideas have risen to the top. These include:

• A SCarey Ohio-themed house, maybe using H.R. Bloodengutz
• A Scary Tales-style house with an emphasis on winter or the holidays, but that rumor looks to be dying
• Ratchet and Chains Bounty Hunters, from Slaughter Sinema 2 (or something western themed)
• Urban Inferno idea, based on Horror Night Nightmares speculation map image, but not likely in most people’s opinion
• The Vikings Undead concept based on a previous scare zone
• Toy Doll-themed house
• According to Hallowed Out Horror (@hallowed_horror on X), Universal filed trademarks for Hami-Kuma to appear in the North American parks. Both Hollywood and Orlando are included in the filings. The trademarks would allow the bear to appear in merchandise and become a costumed performer. Will it be a part of a house or simply be merchandise fodder like Lil’ Boo? We will have to wait to find out!

Only Four Scare Zones for HHN 2025 Orlando?

In recent weeks, a persistent rumor has been popping up about Halloween Horror Nights Orlando only having four scare zones this year. Even though Universal Orlando Resort has said nothing about it, we keep hearing from respected sources that four instead of five scare zones might happen for HHN 2025.

In fairness, many have been critical of the scare zones at Universal Studios Florida in the San Francisco area and the one at the front of the park. The San Francisco area quickly becomes congested, leading to lower guest satisfaction. The addition of Illumination Avenue at Universal Studios Florida, which includes all the Minion attractions, has also reduced the space Halloween Horror Nights has to work with for the initial scare zone. If this rumor is true, it would make sense based on the difficulty of creating a scare zone worthy of this world-class spooky season event. We will probably still get chainsaw hoards in the front of Universal Studios Florida, but may not call it an actual scare zone.
