PHOTOS: First Halloween Horror Nights Façade Visible at Universal Studios Hollywood

The first Halloween Horror Nights façade has gone up behind construction walls near Mel’s Diner at Universal Studios Hollywood. The construction walls actually went up in March, but only a tent was visible behind them.

This façade is in the seating area between Mel’s Diner and the Palace Theater, next to the Universal Plaza space.

The façade resembles a brown, crumbling building with sections of exposed brick.

Rectangular cubbies along the top are lined with yellow, blue, and red paint.

On the front of the façade is a gabled roof with two rows of clay shingles. This looks like it could be above the entryway.

A medallion with leafy decorations to the sides is below the gabled roof.

In addition to the main entrance, a gray tent for the haunted house is behind the façade.

Last year, this location was home to the La Llorona house with a church-inspired motif. On the most recent Halloween Horror Nights 2023 speculation map, this location was just marked with an owl symbol. Nothing else is known about the potential house.

Here are the other speculated houses, though there is no official confirmation yet, and everything is subject to change:

  • Mystery
  • Demon Slayer
  • The Exorcist: Believer
  • Holidayz in Hell
  • Owl
  • “The Last of Us”
  • Universal Studios Monsters: Paris
CHucky HHN 2023

Chucky is currently the only house that has been confirmed. This year’s Terror Tram is rumored to have a “rappers” theme.

In-person scareactor auditions also recently opened for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Fans of Halloween Horror Nights in attendance at the recent Spooky Empire convention were treated to a special panel featuring some of the women who design the iconic annual fright event.
