The House

Stranger Things has returned to Halloween Horror Nights, this time putting you up against Vecna’s Curse. This house sees us following our favourite characters as they head into “Vecna’s chilling mindscape” and battle the creatures of the Upside Down.

The Verdict

If you love Stranger Things season 4 then there is no doubt that this house will blow you away.

The team behind Halloween Horror Nights did an amazing job of taking the storyline and refining it to create a house that gives you everything you need.

All the characters from the Hawkins section of this season were there, especially fan favourite Eddie. We expected to see Vecna a few times but all of us were shocked at how often he appeared. Just like in the show, he seemed to be ever present.

Universal did an amazing job at casting the actors in this maze. We especially loved Eleven, Henry and Eddie, who looked eerily like their onscreen counterparts.

There were some amazing scenes that weren't scary but were there for fans to admire. Yet, the house was not short on scares. This house was perfectly balanced, and reminded us of the Ghostbusters house from HHN29

This house was a true love letter for the fans of the show and took you on a journey into Stranger Things the only way HHN knows how.

If you love "Running Up That Hill", listen very carefully as many in our group missed it because they were running away themselves!
