ORLANDO, Fla. — Universal Orlando Resort’s 34th Halloween Horror Nights event begins Aug. 29 with a new sinister lineup lurking throughout the park.

“We are toxifying and mutating,” said Lora Sauls, Universal’s assistant director of Entertainment Creative Development.

Some houses are based on well-known icons for those who follow the horror franchises . That includes “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” where guests follow a night security guard in an abandoned themed-entertainment center.

“It is bringing something to life, immersing guests in the ‘thing’ that they’ve seen,” said Matthew Flood, Universal’s senior show director with Entertainment Creative Development. “So, that film is the incredible experience of being in a defunct pizzeria, and these haunted animatronics are chasing you.”
