The multi-million-dollar Insidious franchise is set to return to Halloween Horror Nights, promising to deliver spine-chilling scares for those brave enough to enter the darkness.
The all-new haunted house, Insidious: The Further, will span all five entries in Blumhouse Productions’ film series, plunging guests into a paranormal dimension teeming with tortured souls and demonic entities.
This isn’t the first time the Insidious franchise, which has grossed a combined $731.9 million, has made an appearance at Halloween Horror Nights. The last immersive experience at Universal Studios Hollywood was in 2017, tied to the fourth film, Insidious: The Last Key. Universal Studios Orlando Resort last featured an Insidious attraction in 2015. This year, Insidious: The Further will be present at both theme parks.
For the uninitiated, the Insidious movies focus on the Lambert family, who are plagued by malevolent supernatural forces after a demonic entity possesses their son, leaving him in a coma. The first film, released in 2011, was a hit with critics and audiences alike, grossing $100.1 million worldwide. The franchise continues to grow, with a sixth film set for release in August 2025 and a spin-off in the works.
Insidious: The Further will offer visitors the chance to walk in the Lamberts’ shoes, entering through the iconic red door and navigating recreations of familiar locations from the films. As they journey through the experience, guests will find themselves in The Further, an ethereal place where ghosts and demons lurk.
Here, they will encounter tormented paranormal entities such as the Bride in Black, The Man Who Can’t Breathe, the Red-Faced Demon, and the hellish KeyFace, who is determined to trap his victims in this dark dimension. Pass holders must race against time to escape and prevent their souls from being trapped forever.
Halloween Horror Nights will begin at Universal Orlando Resort on Friday, August 30, 2024, and at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 5, 2024. Tickets for both events are now available.
Insidious: The Further is the third haunted house inspired by a major movie franchise to be announced for this year’s event, solidifying Halloween Horror Nights as a premier destination for horror fans from around the globe.
