American Horror Story Is Coming To Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights 2016

Universal Studios is adding a dark presence to its Halloween Horror Nights event this year in the form of FOX’s American Horror Story.

With five seasons to choose from, Universal had their pick of haunting themes, and decided to go with the Murder House from season 1, the Freak Show from season 4, and the Hotel from season 5.

“‘American Horror Story‘ is one of the most disturbing television shows ever produced, and with such perverse storylines unfolding with each installment, ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ is undoubtedly the only place that could create a living version of the nightmares that Ryan Murphy dreams up,” said John Murdy, Creative Director at Universal Studios Hollywood and Executive Producer of “Halloween Horror Nights.” “Plus, as a fan favorite, ‘American Horror Story’ has been the number one requested maze from our guests and we’re excited to let them know that we listened to them and are bringing ‘American Horror Story’ to life.”

“‘American Horror Story‘ is engaging for so many reasons, one of them being the fantastic way each installment of the series reveals completely new characters and stories for its viewers,” said Michael Aiello, Director of Entertainment Creative Development for Universal Orlando Resort. “It’s that constant evolution that makes this popular series a perfect fit for Halloween Horror Nights – and we can’t wait for our guests to experience some of the horrors they’ve seen on the show.”

Universal Studios will debut an all-new maze attraction, which will go live on Friday, September 16th. Greg Lombardo, SVP of Global Live and Location Based Entertainment at 20th Century Fox, added: “The attraction – which showcases multiple chapters from the acclaimed FX anthology – offers a chilling live-action thrill and simultaneously complements the series highly anticipated premiere on September 14th.”
