Halloween Horror Nights gives rise to horror movie icon Jason from the infamous Friday the 13th films in the all-original haunted house, “Jason Universe,” which takes guests back to the summer camp where the gruesome legend was born. The reckoning begins on Friday, August 29 at Universal Orlando Resort and Thursday, September 4 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

“For 45 years, Jason Voorhees has terrified and thrilled audiences globally,” said President of Horror, Inc. Robert Barsamian. “With Jason Universe at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, we’re celebrating that legacy in an immersive way that honors the character’s brutal mythology while giving fans the chance to experience it like never before. It’s a visceral homecoming for one of horror’s most enduring icons.”

For years, Jason has tormented audiences and is considered one of the most notorious villains in cinematic history. This fall, the twisted, creative minds behind Halloween Horror Nights pay homage to the machete-wielding slasher in a horrifying haunted house that re-awakens the legend to terrify old and new fans alike.

“Jason Universe” will take Halloween Horror Nights guests on a vengeance tour throughout the summer camp to see where it all began, from the creaking floorboards of Jason’s ramshackle cabin to the decaying main lodge and the eerie forest that offers no refuge for his victims. Around every corner, fans will be inundated with infamous killer moments from Jason’s heinous homicidal career as he taunts and stalks his victims who learn too late that the legend is real.

“Bringing Jason Voorhees to Halloween Horror Nights in an all-original haunted house is a major moment for fans and for us,” said Horror Inc.’s CMO Sheri Conn. “Jason Universe taps into four decades of horror legacy and reinvents it for a new generation—combining immersive storytelling and cinematic detail that only Universal Studios’ teams can deliver. This is more than a haunted house—it’s a full-on tribute to one of the most iconic slashers in pop culture.”
