Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights 2025 Is Totally Unhinged
Zombies, witches, Pokémon, and more—this year’s USJ Halloween is ready to wreck your emotions from every angle.
“I screamed my lungs out.” “I danced with zombies.” “A witch read my feelings.”
This fall, Universal Studios Japan is once again bringing the chaos with an all-out, no-holds-barred Halloween event.
Whether it’s day or night—actually, especially at night—don’t let your guard down. Or do, and just go wild.
Starting September 5: USJ turns into a full-blown horror movie set for Halloween Horror Nights 2025
At 6 PM sharp, the park transforms into a place you may never return from.
The fan-favorite Halloween Horror Nights is back, bigger and scarier than ever.
The infamous Street Zombies are back and even more savage this year—relentless, grotesque, and absolutely unhinged.
Run, scream, get splattered in fake blood, and just when you think it's over, the music hits and suddenly you’re dancing with zombies.
That’s Zombie de Dance, and this year it's teaming up with a mystery artist—who will it be? Stay tuned...
Details on Halloween Horror Nights
A haunted house that messes with your feelings—brought to you by KATE
Introducing USJ’s first-ever emotional horror experience, in collaboration with makeup brand KATE:
"Witch of District 18 House of Twisted Emotions".
Step inside a mirror-filled lair where four witches slowly draw out your joy, anger, sorrow, and fear.
“Are you really happy right now?”—just one question from a witch and you might break down crying.
It’s part horror, part makeup artistry, part psychological experiment—and it’s addictive chaos.
