Ozzy Osbourne fans will find a new experience at Universal
Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights as the late pioneer heavy metal icon, Ozzy
Osbourne is featured in an all-new original haunted
house, Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness.
Developed as a living horror movie through the lens of Halloween
Horror Nights, the non-traditional memorial to Ozzy Osbourne spans 45 years,
transporting guests on a twisted journey through the artist’s outrageous, eccentric
solo career and unique experiences.
Music from Ozzy Osbourne’s solo albums play during the
experience and include The Blizzard of Ozz (1980), Diary of a Madman (1981),
Bark at the Moon (1983), No More Tears (1991), Scream (2010) and Ordinary Man
(2020).
"Ozzy never stopped pushing boundaries, and he loved
anything that gave fans a new way to experience his music and the worlds he
created," said Sharon and Jack Osbourne in a statement. "Halloween
Horror Nights has done an incredible job bringing that spirit to life. Walking
through these haunted houses, you'll recognize so many moments inspired by his
music and imagination. It's a wonderful tribute to Ozzy, and we hope fans have as
much fun experiencing it as he would have had seeing it come together."
At Universal Studios Hollywood, the haunted house transports
fans to where it all began, in Birmingham, England, home to John Michael “Ozzy”
Osbourne. Starting with “Crazy Train,” Osbourne’s most famous song, guests travel
through time from his early childhood to the Osbourne Asylum, inspired by his
iconic album Diary of a Madman. As they weave through decades, the unique
iterations of Ozzy’s persona comes to life, from Madman Ozzy and Werewolf Ozzy
to the Prince of Darkness, the moniker he earned in the 1970s.
“Ozzy Osbourne didn't just help define heavy metal—he
created a cultural phenomenon that has influenced generations of music, art and
horror,” said John Murdy, Executive Producer of Halloween Horror Nights at
Universal Studios Hollywood. “We previously had the privilege of collaborating
with Ozzy, and this new haunted house is an opportunity to honor his
extraordinary solo career. Inspired by all 13 of his albums, guests will
journey through the dark, surreal worlds that fueled his music and cemented his
legacy as the one and only Prince of Darkness.”
At Universal Orlando, guests venture through ancient ruins
and foreboding dungeons before boarding the “Crazy Train” for a twisted ride
into a realm inspired by the covers of his fan-favorite albums, Diary of a
Madman, Bark at the Moon, The Ultimate Sin and Black Rain. The fantastical
world draws from the heavier sound and sinister imagery that defined the later
years of Ozzy’s career, transforming creative evolution into a horrific journey
through his unmistakably twisted imagination.
“We are honored to collaborate with the Osbourne family to
create a unique haunted house that celebrates the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne,”
said Mike Aiello, Senior Director of Entertainment Creative Development at
Universal Orlando Resort. “It was important for us to create an authentic
experience that brings Ozzy's creativity and personality to life in an eerily
immersive new way. Fans will discover so many meaningful details, including a
few Easter Eggs, as they navigate memorable dark and twisted moments inspired
by his iconic musical career.”
Halloween Horror Nights runs select nights at Universal
Orlando Resort from Friday, August 28 through Sunday, November 1, 2026, and at
Universal Studios Hollywood from Thursday, September 3 through Sunday, November
1, 2026.
