Triplets of Terror — Not for the Queasy or Faint of Heart at Halloween Horror Nights 33

It’s the Barmy triplets’ party, and they’ll make us cry if they want to. Join the Barmys in the Triplets of Terror haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights 33 in Universal Studios Florida.

House

You’re invited to the Barmy triplets’ birthday celebration. But their kind of party involves recreating the murders of their entire family.

Backstory

A cluttered outdoor area with a small house, garbage cans, boxes, a rug, and various scattered items.

Guests enter the Barmy household in Toledo, Ohio — street number 3324 — during the birthday party of Melody, Harmony, and Junior. The Barmys are hoarders, so the facade is full of props and Easter eggs. Guests come across the triplets and the dead bodies of their parents, who the trio murdered. As guests continue through the house, they follow the triplets on a murder spree across the country as they collect items to recreate their birthday party.

Review of Triplets of Terror

A figure with a distorted, bloodied face sits at a dining table. The table has plates of food and a partially visible person next to them. The background shows a patterned wall and various objects, evoking the eerie ambiance of Halloween Horror Nights 33.

Before going any further, we’ll reiterate what we said in our Behind the Screams review: this house is very gross, and the dog does die. If you remember the bisected puppy from Depths of Fear in 2019, that prop is reused.

A table set for a macabre celebration features a decayed figure in a party hat beside cakes with lit candles, another smaller figure appears in the foreground, also with a party hat.

Triplets was not as good as it was in Unmasking. This is not to say that the actors are the problem — it’s just that the story is weaker without knowing the details beforehand. It comes off a little disjointed. It also suffers from repetition as most of the Scareactors are the three siblings. They change (and age) as the house goes, but it’s still the same three “faces” over and over.

Also, when we saw it with the lights on, we thought it was the goriest house — and that was before Blood Day. Holy moly. It’s very, very bloody. And you WILL get sprayed in the face with water. 

Overall, this house suffers from some storytelling issues in the middle, and it certainly isn’t for the faint of heart.
