LOS ANGELES — Universal will honor late rock icon Ozzy Osbourne with new “Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness” haunted mazes at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood during the 2026 Halloween Horror Nights season, marking one year since the heavy metal musician’s death in July 2025. Universal said the experience is rooted in Osbourne’s solo music career and theatrical stage persona, with visitors taken on a journey themed around his classic track “Crazy Train” through a series of immersive environments that reference his rock and roll history. Representatives from Universal and the Osbourne estate collaborated on design elements to incorporate his musical legacy into the annual event. ORLANDO, Florida — The Ozzy Osbourne attractions join a wider 2026 Halloween Horror Nights lineup that includes mazes based on “Sinners,” the final television season of “Stranger Things,” and the “Hellraiser” franchise, alongside returning original Orlando experiences such as “Oddfellow vs. Jack,” “Cybergoria,” “Madlands,” “Invasion: Alien Abduction,” and horror host H.R. Bloodengutz. Universal confirmed that Halloween Horror Nights will open at Universal Orlando Resort on August 28, followed by Universal Studios Hollywood on September 3, with tickets and event access details already available through official Universal theme park booking channels as preparations continue at both locations.
