Sinners is the first announced haunted house for Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights 2026.

The house is based on the award-winning horror film and sends guests into a 1930s Mississippi juke joint where the Smokestack Twins face Remmick's vampires. The Hollywood reveal follows the same Sinners announcement for Universal Orlando's HHN 35 lineup earlier in the day.

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood runs on select nights from September 3 through November 1, 2026. The event begins at 7 p.m. and includes haunted houses, the Terror Tram, scare zones, shows, themed food and drinks, and merchandise.

Tickets are on sale with several options, including one-night General Admission, 2 p.m. Day/Night admission, Frequent Fear passes, Ultimate Fear passes, Universal Express, Universal Express Unlimited, Early Access, and the R.I.P. Tour.

Universal has not announced the rest of the Hollywood haunted-house lineup. The 2025 event opened with eight haunted houses, the Terror Tram, scare zones, live entertainment, and a dining pass, so the Sinners reveal starts the longer drip of house and entertainment announcements for this fall.
