Three newly announced all-new haunted houses for the after hours separately-ticketed Halloween event in Orlando and Hollywood are “Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count,” “The Exorcist: Believer,” and “Universal Monsters: Unmasked.”

• Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count – Inspired by the USA & SYFY series and cult classic horror film franchise, “Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count” gives the killer doll the starring role in his very own haunted house for the first time. After years of being disrespected, Chuckey turns his haunted house into a slaughterhouse. Universal has built a Chucky haunted house, but when Chucky himself finds out people aren’t really being killed there, he takes matters into his own hands.
• The Exorcist: Believer – Inspired by the new horror film from Blumhouse and Morgan Creek Entertainment (in theaters Oct. 13, 2023), the all-new haunted house will transport guests to a bustling Haitian street market where a folk doll with three eyes opens a demonic portal, leading to the disappearance of two American girls. The girls are found three days later with no memory of what happened, but they soon exhibit unsettling behavior – and only an exorcism can save them.
• Universal Monsters: Unmasked – The mysterious Catacombs of Paris hold a dark secret, and the all-new haunted house takes guests into the infamous burial grounds to come face-to-face with Universal’s most notorious creatures – The Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll the deranged Mr. Hyde, and Dr. Jack Griffin (aka The Invisible Man) – who seek vengeance against guests navigating the tunnels of their underground home.
