by Jen Gallie

Universal Orlando Resort's Halloween Horror Nights has begun and is once again the ultimate destination for all fans of scary movies.

Every year the geniuses behind HHN creative team build 10 scary houses that completely immerse you in terrifying worlds. Five of these are based on the most famous names in horror, whilst the other five are sprung from the twisted minds behind the event.

Homegrown villains Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow have returned aa this year's icons, bringing with them lots of spooky fun.

2026 marks the 35th anniversary of Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Orlando Resort. To celebrate the team have pulled out all the stops! This is can be seen in the incredible line up of houses at HHN35.

HHN35 has some of the best houses we have ever seen at Halloween Horror Nights! Every one is spectacular. The scenic creators, costume designers and show directors this year are showcasing their best ever work at HHN35.

Part of the fun of attending Halloween Horror Nights is ranking all the houses, but this has been the most difficult year we have taken on this task as every house was just so damn good. 

Here is our review of each house at Halloween Horror Nights 35. This review has been created to be as spoiler free as possible.

10. Cybergoria

The House:

In a quest to live forever, humans have entered cryo-sleep pods. Whilst humanity sleeps, robots have been put to work to cure all illness.

Unfortunately these robots have decided to achieve their task by any means necessary. Mixing flesh and metal together to make sure “you live forever, even if it kills you.”

The Hype:

Cybergoria is a dark house, filled with winding metal corridors. Most of the walls are splattered with blood and other bodily fluids, which you tend to only see in brief flashes of light.

The android scare actors get incredibly close to you. They seem to pop out of holes in the walls and around corners out of nowhere! This might seem obvious, but to create a house that does this successfully is no easy feat!

Cybergoria is long house with so many scares. You don't feel safe at any point.

I recommend taking in this house later in the evening. The darkness inside is best suited by entering when the sun has already set.
