\u201cSinners,\u201d<\/a> the four-time Oscar<\/a>-winning horror film, will be represented in a haunted house at this year\u2019s Halloween Horror Nights<\/a>, Universal Orlando<\/a> confirmed Thursday.<\/p>\n

The 2025 movie was written, directed and produced by Ryan Coogler<\/a>. \u201cSinners\u201d takes place in 1930s Mississippi Delta, where twin brothers Smoke and Stack (played by Michael B. Jordan<\/a>, who won an Academy Award for the roles) return to their hometown to open a juke joint. Vampires crash the opening night.<\/p>\n

\u201cSinners\u201d made $370 million at the box office. It was nominated for 16 Oscars, and Coogler won the award for best original screenplay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment \u2018Sinners\u2019 premiered, we knew it was an undeniable fit for Halloween Horror Nights, and it\u2019s an honor to bring this story to life,\u201d Mike Aiello, senior director of entertainment creative development at Universal Orlando Resort, said in a news release.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s rare for a film to fully satisfy hardcore horror fans while also inviting new audiences into the genre\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what \u2018Sinners\u2019 does. Its world, characters and intensity will translate into a relentless haunted house.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cSinners\u201d maze also will appear at Universal Studios Hollywood<\/a> in California.<\/p>\n

Visitors will see characters lifted straight from the film, including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline and Cornbread, Universal says.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnering with Halloween Horror Nights gives fans the chance to step even deeper into the world of the film \u2014 to feel the music, the atmosphere and the tension all around them. Watching it come to life on this scale has been really special for all of us,\u201d Coogler said in a joint statement with fellow producers Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian.<\/p>\n
