Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida will feature their first-ever “Fallout” haunted house.
Fallout HHN House
The house will be inspired by the first season of the “Fallout” TV show, IGN exclusively revealed. Guests will enter Vault 33 and follow Lucy LacLean as she tries to escape a bloody massacre. They will then travel outside the vault, into the Wasteland, dodging attacks from Scavengers, Raiders, and RAD Roaches. They’ll visit locations like the Super Duper Mart, encounter the Ghoul, and meet Maximus in his “massive” T-60 armor.
IGN spoke to John Murdy, Creative Director / Executive Producer at Universal Studios Hollywood, and Matthew Flood, Senior Show Director at Universal Orlando Resort, about the new “Fallout” experience.”
“As you go through these environments, we want fans to say, ‘I recognize this, I’m in a Fallout vault. How cool is that?!’” said Flood. “Where else are you going to get to say that you walked through a Fallout vault and then into the Wasteland and saw ghouls?
“And you can see and understand what the world is just by what you pass, including the bodies when Lucy first exits the vault. That type of thing is really good for us in Halloween Horror Nights and… yes, it’s gruesome, which is what our fans want at Halloween Horror Nights. It’s also scary and provides great characters, good monsters, all the mutated creatures, and the ghouls. That’s ripe for the picking when it comes to Halloween Horror Nights.”
“Fallout is kind of retro futuristic, and a lot of the aesthetics of it are very 1950s,” said Murdy. “The fact that we get to deal with the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust is very exciting for us since we’ve never done anything like that at HHN before. It’s like tapping into a whole different realm of horror.”
The Hollywood and Orlando versions of the house will have unique aspects.
“We work really closely with the people who are producing Fallout, and they’ve shared an incredible number of assets with us,” said Murdy. “We’ve done a lot of really big stuff over the years with Horror Nights, but this has got to be, I think, one of the biggest things we’ve ever had to do,” he said of the T-60 armor. “We also thought it’d be cool if each park had a lot in common but also some differences. So, for Hollywood, the Power Armor is a full animatronic; we’re doing it as a fully animated figure.”
“In Orlando, we do have kind of a final battle moment,” Flood explained. “I’m not going to reveal too much, but yes, T-60s will be part of that battle. We also got a chance to fit in Filly, and I think having a moment to get a real-life Fallout battle happening there is pretty cool.”
Each house will have its own “creature takes.” In Hollywood will be the Yao Guai Bear. And like many HHN houses, they will be full of Easter eggs.
Tickets went on sale for HHN at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday. There will also be a Five Nights at Freddy’s-themed offering.
