Universal announced Thursday that it\u2019s adding a haunted house attraction based on Ryan Coogler\u2019s blockbuster vampire movie Sinners<\/a> to this year\u2019s Halloween Horror Nights lineup.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the 1930s Mississippi Delta juke joint operated by Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan<\/a>\u2019s twins Smoke and Stack, the Sinners haunted house arrives Friday, August 28 at Universal Orlando Resort and Thursday, September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood. A selection of event tickets are on sale now for both coasts.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the official description of what the Sinners attraction entails:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe terrifying Halloween Horror Nights house will transport guests back in time to the popular Club Juke where they will quickly realize that nothing is as it seems when nefarious, red-eyed vampires Remmick, Bert and Joan appear with their insatiable hunger. As they attempt to evade the vampires at every turn, fans will encounter some of their favorite characters lifted straight from the film, including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline and Cornbread. Caught in a deadly struggle between twins Smoke and Stack and the bloodthirsty vampires, guests must survive the night \u2013 because the terror will only relent once the sun rises.\u201d<\/p>\n

A joint statement issued by Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian, producers of Sinners and founders of Proximity Media, said that \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<\/p>\n

John Murdy, Executive Producer, Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Studios Hollywood, added: \u201cJust as Ryan Coogler’s Academy Award winning film, Sinners re-invented the vampire movie, we are re-inventing the haunted house and creating new ways to scare our guests that we\u2019ve never attempted and are thrilled to bring this amazing story to life in a truly terrifying and fully immersive way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Echoing that sentiment, Mike Aiello, Senior Director of Entertainment Creative Development at Universal Orlando Resort, said \u201c(Sinners\u2019) world, characters and intensity will translate into a relentless haunted house. We can’t wait for our fans to step inside and experience the horror firsthand in a way that only Halloween Horror Nights can deliver.” <\/p>\n

Sinners was named IGN\u2019s best movie of 2025<\/a>. Our critic Eric Goldman scored the film a 9 out of 10, writing in his Sinners review<\/a>, \u201cEven though we know the monsters are coming eventually, Sinners plays out as the kind of rug-pulling genre shift that can be both disorienting and incredibly exciting. \u2026 What makes Sinners such a success, though, is that the first half absolutely gives the second half\u2019s scary and sad events even more weight and consequences. Once you care about these people, it\u2019s all the more terrible to watch some of them get taken down by a vampire\u2019s bite.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Universal announced Thursday that it\u2019s adding a haunted house attraction based on Ryan Coogler\u2019s blockbuster vampire movie Sinners…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[139,141,140],"class_list":["post-280334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
