Universal Studios Japan released its Halloween Horror Nights 15th anniversary commercial Wednesday, with actor Takumi Kitamura surrounded by the park's new Street Zombies.

Kitamura plays a university student at home before an artificial-intelligence assistant on his phone pulls him into a nightmare at Universal Studios Japan. The Street Zombies story centers on students who planned a park trip before becoming zombies themselves.

Universal Studios Japan Halloween Horror Nights 2026 runs from September 11 through November 8. Street Zombies returns with a new story and performance, while Zombie de Dance uses King Gnu's SO BAD. The lineup also includes Resident Evil Requiem: The Dive and the new Halloween Horror Nights Academy show.
