Universal Studios Hollywood is “gonna call” the Ghostbusters this Halloween season as ghosts and creatures from the iconic film franchise haunt guests at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights.
The new haunted house, debuting at Universal Studios Hollywood on Sept. 5, will be based on the latest film “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.”
Fans will be transported to New York City, where the Spengler family teams up with the original Ghostbusters. After discovering an old relic that has set free the vengeful spirit of Garraka, the Ghostbusters will combine forces to battle their common foe.
“As guests venture through the haunted houses, they will find themselves in the sinister world of the supernatural, from Ray’s Occult Books shop to the Ghostbuster’s new high-tech lab and containment facility to the dank New York City sewer system,” a news release said.
“Fans will embark on this petrifying journey alongside the Ghostbusters, encountering iconic ghosts who slime and nefarious villains who are out for revenge – all while trying to escape an army of ghastly creatures bent on cracking bones and turning their veins into rivers of ice.”
Like the movies, the new haunted house will be a blend of horror and humor.
The Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire haunted house is the second maze based on a popular Hollywood film franchise to join Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights lineup.
Earlier this month, Universal announced that a new haunted house based on Paramount Pictures’ “A Quiet Place” and “A Quiet Place 2” will be coming to HHN this fall.
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood will run on select nights from Sept. 5 to Nov. 3. Guests will encounter eight new haunted houses, sinister scare zones, and the iconic Terror Tram.
All ticketing options, including the premium R.I.P Tour and Frequent Fear and Ultimate Fear passes, are available for purchase on the theme park website. Prices range from $77 for general admission and up to $389 for premium tickets.
“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” haunted house will also be available at Universal Studios Orlando for its HHN season, which begins on Aug. 30.
