Universal Studios' newest haunted house for the 2026 edition of Halloween Horror Nights will be inspired by the first three Hellraiser films.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser movies were a terrifying staple for anyone who ever entered a Blockbuster and saw Pinhead on the cover. Now, Universal is adding the Cenobites to their annual Halloween spectacular.
Arriving at Universal Orlando Resort on August 28 and at Universal Studios Hollywood on September 3, the haunted house will feature the iconic Lament Configuration puzzle box, as well as key locations true to the first three films, including Frank Cotton’s
family home and the Channard Institute.
Eventually, travelers will end up in The Labyrinth and come face-to-face with Pinhead, with the original Pinhead actor, Doug Bradley, reprising his role and lending his voice to both haunted houses.
In addition, Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood will be offering limited-release merchandise inspired by the Hellraiser haunted house, including a T-shirt and a Pinhead acrylic figure.

Things.
