Like most events of 2020, Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights were canceled due to COVID-19. With the parks mandating new health and safety regulations and honoring requirements to lower their daily capacity, it was believed that the fan-favorite event would be canceled for all of 2020.

Luckily a partial return helped to ease the pain while patrons excitedly await the full return of Halloween Horror Nights 2021.

A teaser video has dropped to showcase behind-the-scenes footage of what the park and Executive Producer Greg Nicotero has in mind for guests next year. Titled “Puppet Theatre: Captive Audience”, the demented scare-fest is designed to create ‘disturbingly-real experiences’ for the guests as they make their way through haunted house and immersive scare zones.

Next year’s event is designed to create a frightening environment where each patron is trapped in their own hauntingly real horror film. The movie-quality haunted houses will once again be based on iconic films and television series, while the park’s ‘scareactors’ will help to create adrenaline-inducing frights.

For all the frightening details watch the behind-the-scenes look below.
