INVASION: Alien Abduction at HHN 35

Show director Charles Gray told Nerdist that Universal Orlando's creative team had discussed an alien-abduction house for about five years. The house is built around straight alien-invasion fear, with the Grays entering the house, the yard, and the family's life from every direction.

INVASION gives HHN 35 another original Universal Orlando house after H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular!, MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals, and Cybergoria. The announced Orlando lineup also includes Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, Stranger Things 5, and Sinners.

Halloween Horror Nights runs select nights from Aug. 28 through Nov. 1, 2026. Universal Orlando has 10 haunted houses planned for the event, with tickets, vacation packages, Express, R.I.P. Tours, Scream Early, and Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tours already on sale.

Universal has not announced the full Orlando house list yet.
