Universal Studios Hollywood has announced an expanded Terror Tram experience for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event. The all-new experience will include a cinematic twist on Jordan Peele’s blockbuster films in a crossover experience that reimagines “Us,” featuring The Tethered, a revolutionary army of vengeful doppelgangers whose uprising invades the all-new Jupiter’s Claim set from the filmmaker’s latest pop nightmare, “Nope.”
The “Terror Tram” is unique to Universal Studios Hollywood, inviting guests to explore by foot parts of the famous movie studio backlot, home to some of the most notorious movie sets. Once guests disembark the Tram, the terror is unleashed. This year, the villainous Hollywood Harry unravels “Hollywood Harry’s Halloween,” a nightmarish spectacle with a demented cast of characters that winds past the iconic Psycho House and then through Steven Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds” set. As guests make their way through a choreographed massacre at the Jupiter’s Claim set from “Nope,” they will encounter The Tethered from “Us” in a frightening finale of epic proportions. After the success of the 2019 “Us” house, this experience will feature all-new choreography by conceptual artist and choreographer Madeline Hollander.
Terror Tram joins the full lineup of haunted house experiences that include:
- The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare – Guests will experience the twisted mind of the multi-award-winning artist The Weeknd as they step into a surreal living nightmare filled with grotesque characters and themes inspired by his music and short films.
- Halloween – Ventures back to where it all began in an eerily authentic haunted house that depicts the most chilling moments from the critically-acclaimed 1978 film.
- The Horrors of Blumhouse – This all-new haunted house brings to life Blumhouse’s supernatural thriller The Black Phone and horror-comedy Freaky.
- Universal Monsters: Legends Collide – The latest Universal Monsters haunted house expands on the thrilling legacy from Universal Pictures as the most notorious horror icons, The Wolf Man, Dracula, and The Mummy, come together for the first time ever in an epic battle.
- MGM’s “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” – Traps guests in a frightening funhouse of murderous clown-like creatures.
- La Llorona: The Weeping Woman – The legend of La Llorona comes to life to terrorize the living as she mourns the children she murdered.
- Scarecrow: The Reaping – Mother Nature’s retribution against the homesteaders for their past sins will be carried out by the farmland’s scarecrows, who have remained mute witnesses – and are now guardians of destruction for anyone who crosses their path.
- Universal Horror Hotel – This all-new haunted house lives ups to its reputation as the original owner, who was executed years ago for his dastardly deeds, continues to haunt the place today – and guests must escape his vengeful spirit or risk becoming a permanent resident.
All-new scare zones will taunt and torment guests as they navigate the darkness from one terrifying house to the next:
- “El Pueblo del Terror” is an extension of “La Llorona: The Weeping Woman,” as the horror continues once guests exit the haunted house and discover there is no escaping the frightening legend and other supernatural characters from Latin America’s most frightening myths.
- “Sideshow Slaughterhouse” turns New York Street into a battle zone as the performers and workers from a seedy carnival sideshow are on a murderous rampage.
- “Clownsawz” features a demonic troop of clowns who band together to terrorize guests with chainsaws as they enter the park.
