HHN visitors will be able to see scenes from series, including the Wheelers’ house, Hawkins National Laboratory, the MAC-Z military base, the Upside Down and encounter creatures such as the demogogons and the big villain, Vecna. Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood in California also will host a “Stranger Things” house.
It’s the third house announced for the 2026 edition of Horror Nights. Universal previously said houses will be based on the “Sinners” film starring Michael B. Jordan and on HHN iconic characters Jack the Clown and Oddfellow. The event’s website says there again will be 10 houses this year.
“Stranger Things” previously was featured in Orlando’s HHN in 2018, 2019 and 2023. The final season of the show, a science-fiction coming of age story, was released in December 2025.
