Wasteland horrors are headed straight for Halloween Horror Nights. Universal Studios will transform Prime Video’s smash-hit series Fallout into a terrifying haunted house experience for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights—dropping guests into a radioactive post-apocalyptic hellscape at both Universal Orlando Resort (starting Friday, August 29) and Universal Studios Hollywood (starting Thursday, September 4).

Inspired by the acclaimed 2024 TV series and long-running video game franchise, the new haunted house will give fans a chance to step directly into the scorched ruins of 2296. That means mutated creatures, crumbling Americana and plenty of panic as guests make their way through iconic Fallout locations, including Vault 33, the blood-soaked Super Duper Mart and the monster-filled Wasteland.

The experience kicks off underground as visitors follow Lucy MacLean’s narrow escape from a violent Vault massacre. But things go from bad to worse fast, with encounters above ground featuring grotesque RAD Roaches, deadly Scavengers and Raiders and a radiation-scarred bounty hunter known as The Ghoul. Oh, and Maximus makes an appearance too—in his gleaming T-60 power armor.

Both parks will offer the full Fallout experience as part of their larger Halloween Horror Nights lineups, which include 10 haunted houses, scare zones, live shows and enough scream-inducing moments to satisfy even the most seasoned thrill-seeker. At Universal Orlando, tickets are now on sale for the full event, which runs across 48 nights through November 2. Visitors can opt for one-night tickets, Express Passes, RIP Tours and behind-the-scenes daytime walkthroughs with the Unmasking the Horror Tour. There’s even a Premium Scream Night on August 28, for those who want to beat the crowds and be the first to panic.

Universal Studios Hollywood also has a full suite of ticket options, from General Admission to Early Access and unlimited-entry passes. A limited-edition Fallout merchandise collection has already dropped in both parks, featuring a haunted house-exclusive tee and tumbler—because nothing says “nuclear terror” like a souvenir cup.

Additional haunted house themes will be announced throughout the summer, but if Fallout is any indication, this year’s Halloween Horror Nights will be a radioactive blast.
