Universal Hollywood announces a brand-new after-hours event coming next year, featuring Back to the Future and Star Trek.
While the specific lineup of haunted houses and scare zones for the 2025 season has not yet been officially announced, early speculation has already begun. On Twitter, Horror Night Nightmares released initial speculative maps for both HHN 34 at Universal Studios Florida, dates TBA, and HHN 2025 at Universal Studios Hollywood, set to run September 4 through November 2, 2025. The holiday-themed symbols used on the maps hint at potential themes and franchises for the upcoming event. One notable symbol on the Universal Studios Florida map includes a white dove with two lily flowers at Soundstage 23A, which could signify an original house such as the Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines with iconic female monsters that debuted in 2024. However, speculation also suggests a possible tie-in with The Last of Us Part 2, building on the success of The Last of Us Part 1 house featured at HHN 32.
When Will Halloween Horror Nights Begin at Universal Studios Hollywood?

Both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood maps include a white Santa beard symbol. This icon appears at Soundstage 23B (Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon) in Florida and H-Lot Tent 1 (Curious George Parking Lot) in Hollywood. The symbol is widely believed to represent the Terrifier franchise. Following the release of Terrifier 3, which featured Art the Clown in a Santa Claus costume, rumors have strongly suggested the franchise’s inclusion in HHN 2025.
Another recurring symbol is a ghost icon, appearing at Tent 4 (next to Men in Black: Alien Attack) in Florida and the UBE venue (next to Production Plaza) in Hollywood. This symbol is speculated to represent Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, aligning with the release of the highly anticipated sequel in fall 2024. The Beetlejuice franchise has had a significant presence at Halloween Horror Nights in the past, including a dedicated house in 2021 at Universal Studios Florida. As anticipation builds for Halloween Horror Nights 2025, further announcements and confirmations from Universal Studios are expected in the coming months. For now, speculative maps and ongoing rumors continue to fuel excitement for what promises to be one of the most thrilling seasons yet.
