SINIST3R and SURR3AL at Halloween Horror Nights 33

Two ethereal figures stand back-to-back, one in red and the other in blue, in front of a dark, mystical structure with glowing accents amidst a swirling, colorful background. This haunting scene brings to life the Icons Lore of Halloween Horror Nights 33 at Universal Orlando.

Revealed via a thread on the Halloween Horror Nights Orlando X account (formerly Twitter), fans have learned a bit more about SINIST3R and SURR3AL, the two stars of the event’s scare zone, Duality of Fear.

Read the full story:

For 33 years, the screams of thousands of eager Halloween Horror Nights guests have been collected within the shadowy depths of Universal Orlando Resort. With each year that went by came a new set of frights for our guests to indulge.

All the while, their wails of terror festered beneath the billow fog up on the surface, forming a monstrous manifestation of the horror that lives within their hearts. An evil overgrowth that would spread its hellish grasp throughout every crevice of the park’s underbelly.

As the overgrowth expanded in size, its beating heart ripped a tear between our world and the vast universe of horrors that exists beyond our own; the never-ending void in which fear derives from.

Within that universe are two distinct realms – One fueled by physical pain while the other is plagued by psychological torment. At the helm of these worlds are two entities, SINIST3R and SURR3AL, who each embody the hellscapes they stand guard for.

Guests will encounter SINIST3R and SURR3AL in the Duality of Fear scare zone, where they will have to choose their path: the “visceral horror” of SINIST3R or the “unearthly terror” of SURR3AL. Read our latest scare zone construction update.

Other scare zones included in this year’s event are Enter the Blumhouse, Demon Queens, Swamp of the Undead, and Torture Faire. Nightmare Fuel will also return this year in “Nightmare Fuel: Nocturnal Circus.”

The 10 haunted houses this year include Slaughter Sinema 2Goblin’s FeastMajor Sweets Candy FactoryThe Museum: Deadly ExhibitsMonstruos: The Monsters of Latin AmericaTriplets of TerrorA Quiet PlaceGhostbusters: Frozen Empire, and Insidious: The Further.

Halloween Horror Nights 33 kicks off on August 30 and runs on select nights through November 3, 2024. Tickets are on sale now, including for the Premium Scream Night preview event on August 29.
