Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights Builds a Hellraiser House
Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 35 features a Hellraiser house based on Clive Barker’s horror universe.
Barker’s novella The Hellbound Heart inspired the film world behind the attraction.
Visitors enter through a recreation of the Lament Configuration, the puzzle box that opens a gateway to hell in the story.
The house combines film scenes with the event team’s designs, including a winding maze, projected effects and figures from the films.
It features 10 versions of Pinhead, voiced in recorded lines by actor Doug Bradley, alongside other Cenobites.

What people are saying
The puzzle box gives the guest the choice to open it, to go through the queue line and enter the box, just like the main characters in the film.
Within the box, there’s this juxtaposition of horror and beauty.
He made sure that our teams didn’t take out the sexual layer of those films.
