    Three months ahead of opening night, we now know six of the 10 haunted houses coming to Halloween Horror Nights 33 at Universal Orlando.

    Breaking tradition and keeping fans on their toes, HHN took to the Spooky Empire convention last weekend to reveal the first house — Slaughter Sinema 2, a sequel to the horror movie drive-in maze from 2018. The next day, the fright fest announced Goblin’s Feast, a new original house full of hungry goblins, orcs and witches.

    Then every day this week, at 10:33 a.m. on the dot, HHN announced Major Sweets Candy Factory, The Museum: Deadly Exhibits, Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America and Triplets of Terror.

    Major Sweets Candy Factory makes you a chaperone on a field trip that turns sour when your child charges turn into sugar-fueled fiends. In The Museum: Deadly Exhibits, something evil escapes from a new folklore museum and sets out to destroy everything in its path.

    In the Monstruos house, La Muerte is your guide to exploring the terrifying legends of Tlahuelpuchi (a shapeshifting vampiric witch), La Lechuza (a shapeshifting owl witch) and El Silbón (a cursed whistling spirit who carries the bones of their victims).

    And in the Triplets of Terror house, you’re invited to a gory party for the Barmy triplets, who celebrate their birthday by recreating their family’s murders. How precious!

    With seemingly all of the original houses revealed for this year’s event, fans are left to speculate what IP-themed experiences we’ll get.

    In years past, HHN announced one or two of the big IP houses first, sprinkling in original houses throughout the summer. Is it a good omen that Universal announced all the original houses first? Maybe they’re saving the best ones for last.

    Either way, HHN has grown exponentially in popularity over the last three decades – blockbuster IP houses or not. Longtime diehard fans have even expressed on social media that HHN doesn’t need even one IP house. The classic, campy and lore-filled original houses are consistently among the best experiences.

    We’ll still be checking the HHN Twitter page every day at 10:33 a.m. for the foreseeable future. There are still four more houses, five scare zones and live entertainment to announce.

    Halloween Horror Nights returns on Aug. 30 and runs for 48 select nights through Nov. 3. Tickets are on sale now, and some new merch is already available in the parks and online.

    Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights has kept fans on their toes for weeks, as they searched for the tiniest teases of what’s coming to this year’s event.

    Finally, the fright fest revealed two original haunted houses setting up shop — Slaughter Sinema 2 and Goblin’s Feast.

    Revealed at horror convention Spooky Empire, Slaughter Sinema 2 is a new iteration of a fan-favorite house from 2018. Perfect for fans of horror B-movies, the house brings a drive-in theater to life with terrifying scenes from monster movies, gory grindhouse films, spaghetti westerns and more.

    The original Slaughter Sinema included scenes from 11 different movie scenes created just for HHN, including “Sorority Sacrifice,” “Pumpkin Guts,” “The Cult of the Beast Baby” and “Attack of the Swamp Yeti.”

    Goblin’s Feast is a new original house where guests venture to a goblin village and visit the tavern for a lavish feast. There’s just one problem: They’re the main course for the hungry goblins, orcs and witches.

    This time of year is peak HHN announcement season, and Universal has kept the fandom glued to social media so they don’t miss any hints or reveals. What’s throwing many die-hard fans for a loop is how the first houses were announced.

    In years past — roughly since 2019 — HHN has announced at least one IP (intellectual property)-themed house first. Last year, it was Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count, while the event was still running. In 2022, it was Universal Monsters: Legends Collide. In 2021 and 2019, Beetlejuice and Stranger Things 2 were announced first, respectively.

    Another strange bit: Slaughter Sinema 2 and Goblin’s Feast are not yet listed on the HHN website. With HHN tweeting the number 3 and posting reveals three days apart at 10:33 a.m., 12:33 p.m. and 12:33 a.m. over the weekend, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a third announcement sometime this week.

    We’ll keep our eyes peeled and our X (formerly Twitter) notifications turned on.

    Halloween Horror Nights returns earlier than ever this year, starting on Aug. 30 and running 48 select nights through Nov. 3. Beyond Slaughter Sinema 2 and Goblin’s Feast, there will be eight more haunted houses, five scare zones and likely other live entertainment and shows.

    Tickets are on sale now, and new HHN 33 merch is available online and in select shops in the parks.
