Here’s what we thought about the haunted house mazes at 2024 Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood!

House Rankings

We have a loose ranking of all the haunted house mazes this year to help you prioritize your plan of attack. Keep in mind, experiences vary WILDLY depending on the luck of the flow.

Inside the Houses

Insidious: The Further

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

This franchise is just so creepy that it lends itself over and over to fantastic mazes during this event. Countless black hallways actually work as a strength for this one.

Dead Exposure: Death Valley

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

The tropes here are extremely well represented in the horror genre and yet possibly because of that, it needs little setup to work. It’s camp, it’s gore, it’s a winner.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Legacy of Leatherface

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Leatherface mazes tend to be hit or miss but in celebration of the original film’s 50th anniversary this is a wonderful homage to the entire franchise with a new take.

A Quiet Place

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃⚫

Leaning heavily into the visuals of the first film makes it easy to sorta know what’s coming next in this maze but that doesn’t detract. This one’s a lot of fun but a little repetitive with the signature alien used over and over.

The Weeknd: Nightmare Trilogy

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃🎃⚫

Not going to lie, I don’t think I understand half of the mental gymnastics at play here but it truly doesn’t matter. The maze is disorienting and spooky which I’m sure was 100% the point. Mission accomplished!

Monstruos 2: The Nightmares of Latin America

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃⚫⚫

Really wanted to love this one but it felt just slightly disjointed this year setting up this year’s crop of baddies. Still a fun terrifying romp continued after by its attached scare zone.

Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse

RATING: 🎃🎃🎃⚫⚫

M3gan, Happy Death Day, Freaky, Black Phone, and The Purge are represented here making a fun array of scares across the familiar path of the PSYCHO Bates Motel and War of the Worlds sets.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

RATING: 🎃⚫⚫⚫⚫

Chalking this up to a bad run through when we went but this was light on scares or impressive visuals that other incarnations of this IP as mazes have featured before.

Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines

RATING: 🎃⚫⚫⚫⚫

Truly disappointing, we’re also blaming a bad run through during our visit but this maze meandered on with little cohesion due to a lack of scare actors. Still, it’s very cool that this is housed inside Stage 12 where many of these original Universal Monster movies were actually filmed.
