The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare joins Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights this September & October

Global music star The Weeknd is headed to Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights, with inspiration from his hit album After Hours.

Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights starts on September 2 at Universal Orlando Resort, and September 8 at Universal Studios Hollywood, and they’re going to discover new thrills thanks to the hit musician’s “vivid imagination.”

The dark undercurrent behind The Weeknd’s enigmatic persona will permeate the all-new Halloween Horror Nights haunted houses on both coasts. With the eerie sounds of “After Hours” reverberating throughout the experience, guests will step into a surreal living nightmare filled with grotesque characters and themes inspired by The Weeknd’s music and short films. As they’re stalked by slashers, bandaged maniacs, gruesome toad-like creatures and other unfathomable horrors from the mind of the artist, guests will be challenged to survive the night while trapped within the terrifying, unexpected world of “The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare”–a place that only exists in The Weeknd’s vivid imagination and from which one may never escape.

“I always wanted my own Halloween Horror Nights haunted house as Halloween has always been significant to my music, so this is a total dream come to life,” Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye said. “I feel like my music videos have served as a launching pad for a collaboration like this, and I cannot wait for people to experience this madness!”

Tickets are on sale now for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort, with deals for single-night tickets and Frequent Fear Pass options that cover multiple nights.

Room packages are also available with hotel accommodations (we will always recommend Cabana Bay Beach Resort), one night admission to the event, and access to all three Universal Orlando theme parks. Guests staying at Universal hotels also get perks like early park admission.

Plus, real horror fans can upgrade their visit to get a guided R.I.P. Tour, Express Pass, the daytime, lights-on Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour, and Scareactor Dining.
