Halloween Horror Nights announcement: Universal just confirmed an Ozzy Osbourne haunted house
It’s finally been confirmed that Ozzy Osbourne is one of Halloween Horror Nights’s headliners. A rumor spread rapidly through the Halloween Horror Nights community after fans uncovered what they believed was a promotional radio advertisement referencing an Ozzy Osbourne haunted house—something Universal finally just confirmed nearly two weeks later.
It began on July 17, 2026, when social media posts started circulating that an audio advertisement on streaming radio promoted an Ozzy Osborne house for Halloween Horror Nights 2026.
Now on July 29 it is finally confirmed!
The radio ad
In the advertisement, the narrator says:
“Walk through the Prince of Darkness’s kingdom in a haunted house based on the music of Ozzy Osbourne.”
The spot then immediately shifts to another attraction already confirmed for this year’s event: “Enter a realm of pain and try to escape Pinhead’s eternal torment in a haunted house based on the original Hellraiser.”

Because Hellraiser had already been officially announced for Halloween Horror Nights 35, many believed the recording could be part of a genuine Universal advertisement that aired before the full lineup was revealed.
The alleged leak wasn’t the only reason fans believed Ozzy was headed to Halloween Horror Nights.
Jack Osbourne’s reaction
Months before the latest audio surfaced, Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, was asked during a livestream whether his father would be getting a Halloween Horror Nights haunted house. Rather than dismissing the question, Jack smiled and moved on without answering directly—a moment that quickly circulated throughout the HHN community and fueled speculation.
Music and Halloween Horror Nights
An Ozzy Osbourne house fits comfortably alongside Halloween Horror Nights’ history of music-inspired experiences. The event has previously transformed artists such as Alice Cooper and The Weeknd into immersive haunted houses, blending their music and imagery into original horror experiences.
An Ozzy Osbourne haunted house would not be Universal’s first attraction connected to the Prince of Darkness. In 2013, Universal Studios Hollywood presented Black Sabbath: 13 3D, a Halloween Horror Nights maze inspired by the band’s music and its album 13. The experience featured imagery tied to songs including “War Pigs,” “Iron Man” and “Paranoid.”
This 2026 house will be distinct, however, with the radio advertisement specifically describing an attraction based on Ozzy Osbourne’s music, suggesting a focus on his solo catalog and personal horror persona.
