Stranger Things fans will be thrilled to know that Halloween Horror Nights is bringing the Upside Down back to life for the 2023 season. The annual Halloween event at Universal Studios parks that is coming back after a four year hiatus will feature a house inspired by the fourth season of Stranger Things.
The house will transport guests to the familiar town of Hawkins, Indiana. They’ll be joined by Eleven, Max, Eddie, and other beloved characters on the front lines of a battle against the supernatural villain Vecna.
Guests will navigate through iconic scenes such as the Hawkins Lab, the Creel House, and Vecna’s blood-red mind lair encountering terrifying creatures like demobats. Finally they’ll come face-to-face with Vecna himself. They’ll race against time to escape and prevent Vecna’s success.

This will be the third time that Stranger Things serves as the inspiration for a house at Halloween Horror Nights. The first season of the show inspired a house in 2018. In 2019, a house incorporated elements from seasons two and three. This time, the event may even reference a bit of the third season before continuing the story from there.
Join the Fight Against Vecna.
