Halloween Horror Nights is inviting guests to cross the threshold and survive until sunrise in the music and monster-filled world of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.
As part of the event’s 35th anniversary season, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort have partnered with Proximity Media to transform Coogler’s original vampire tale into an immersive haunted house experience beginning Aug. 28 in Orlando and Sept. 3 in Los Angeles.
Set in 1930s Mississippi Delta, guests will return to twin brothers Smoke and Stack’s hometown, arriving at the juke joint they plan to open for the community. But soon after their arrival at Club Juke, parkgoers will see their celebration turn to chaos and terror when nefarious, red-eyed vampires Remmick, Bert and Joan appear. As guests attempt to evade their vampires’ insatiable hunger, they will become caught in a deadly struggle between the monsters and twins while encountering a number of the film’s other characters, including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline and Cornbread, along the way.
“It’s been incredible to see audiences connect with Sinners in such a powerful way,” said Coogler, Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian, the film’s producers and founders of Proximity Media. “Now, partnering with Halloween Horror Nights gives fans the chance to step even deeper into the world of the film — to feel the music, the atmosphere and the tension all around them. Watching it come to life on this scale has been really special for all of us.”
