Orlando, FL – Universal Orlando Resort announced the highly anticipated “Jason Universe” haunted house on Friday, June 13, themed around the notorious horror character Jason Voorhees from the “Friday the 13th” film series. This haunted house is set to celebrate the legacy of one of the most infamous killers in cinematic history, providing guests with an immersive experience into Jason’s chilling world.
The “Jason Universe” will officially open its doors on August 29, 2025, as part of the renowned Halloween Horror Nights event, which will run for 48 nights until November 2, 2025. Guests will be transported to the summer camp where Jason’s gruesome saga began, experiencing meticulously designed scenes that showcase his vengeful reign of terror.
Among the attractions, guests can expect to encounter the creaking floorboards of Jason’s cabin, a decaying main lodge, and an eerie forest filled with lurking horrors that evoke the terror of the “Friday the 13th” franchise. This year’s installment marks the first appearance of Jason at Halloween Horror Nights since HHN25 in 2015, which featured a haunted house centered on “Freddy versus Jason.”
In addition to the “Jason Universe,” Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 2025 will feature a total of 10 haunted houses, various scare zones, live shows, and more engaging attractions, assuring a spine-chilling experience for all attendees. Fans of the horror genre can also look forward to exclusive merchandise themed to “Jason Universe,” with special items available for purchase throughout the event.
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights not only brings back Jason Voorhees but also follows earlier reveals of haunted houses inspired by “Five Nights at Freddy’s” and “Fallout.” The unveiling of “Jason Universe” coincides with the 45th anniversary of the “Friday the 13th” franchise, making it a significant highlight for fans of the series.
The haunted house experience is set to unfold at the Universal Orlando Resort, with an identical run planned for Universal Studios Hollywood beginning September 4, 2025, also concluding on November 2. Guests at both parks will have access to various ticket options, including single-night tickets and express passes, tailored to enhance their experience during the horror nights. Notably, guests visiting Universal Studios Hollywood will also witness the immersive terror of “Jason Universe” as part of their event lineup.
The “Jason Universe” haunted house represents a long-standing partnership between Universal and the horror genre, dating back to Halloween Horror Nights’ inception in 1991. Jason Voorhees has a storied history in the realm of horror, becoming one of the definitive cinematic villains over the decades. His legacy is marked by a series of films that introduced audiences to the chilling atmosphere of Camp Crystal Lake, where the character’s ruthless persona was born. Since the early 90s, Halloween Horror Nights has maintained a commitment to showcasing iconic figures of horror, making the return of Jason a fitting tribute to the franchise’s enduring popularity.
With the excitement building for Halloween Horror Nights 2025 and the return of one of cinema’s most terrifying characters, fans are encouraged to mark their calendars and prepare for a season of fright at Universal Orlando Resort.
