Fans are speculating that Stephen King’s It could be presented at Halloween Horror Nights 2026 in some way.

Possible It HHN House

The rumors are fueled by a recent Instagram post by user @jpland21 who noted that It has become one of the most recognizable horror franchises, with recent renewed interest thanks to the series It: Welcome to Derry.

The original horror novel by King was released in 1986. It was the best-selling hardcover fiction book in the U.S. that year and won the 1987 British Fantasy Award. It was adapted into a 1990 TV miniseries starring Tim Curry as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. A two-part film adaptation was released in 2017 and 2019, followed by the Welcome to Derry series, all starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise. A second season of the series is in development.

Universal has not made any official announcements regarding Halloween Horror Nights 2026, but speculation season begins early among HHN fans. The event is no stranger to scary clowns, with its most famous icon being Jack the Clown. Jack’s presence might mean Universal would shy away from including a character as similar as Pennywise, but his popularity could also show them another clown would hit big.

It is owned by Warner Bros. but Universal frequently negotiates the use of IPs for HHN. Fallout, for example, is an Amazon Prime production but was a featured house at HHN 2025.

Right now, rumors of an It house are just that: rumors. Stay tuned for further coverage of HHN in the coming months.
