‘Stranger Things” coming to Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights

ORLANDO — Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights brings season 4 of Netflix’s original series “Stranger Things ”to life in a terrifying all-new haunted house, beginning Friday, September 1 at Universal Orlando Resort.

This year’s petrifying haunted house will once again transport guests to Hawkins, Indiana, where they will encounter the newest supernatural villain, Vecna, who is hell-bent on obliterating the volatile barrier between the eerie Upside Down and the real world in an attempt to reign supreme.

The “Stranger Things” haunted house mirrors the mind-bending twists and supernatural terror of Season 4, immersing guests in a heart-pounding experience alongside valiant characters from the series, including Eleven, Max, Eddie and more.

In a race against the clock, guests find themselves in the ultimate showdown within Vecna’s blood-red Mind Lair, striving to escape and save mankind from his deadly curse.
