Beneath the jump scares and gore at Halloween Horror Nights 2025 lies something only the most devoted visitors notice – a secret layer of the event built for those who pay attention
Every year, thousands of fans surge through the iconic Universal gates, drawn to the twisted mazes and eerie scare zones of Halloween Horror Nights 2025. But beneath the jump scares and gore lies something only the most devoted visitors notice – a secret layer of the event built for those who pay attention.
Hidden props, sly callbacks to past icons, and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it tributes are scattered through the chaos, waiting to be uncovered. For many, HHN is about survival. For others, it’s about the hunt for those well-placed Easter eggs that connect years of horror history into one sprawling nightmare.
Here’s what we know about this year’s Easter eggs, but be warned, spoilers are to follow:
Fallout
In the Fallout house, Universal collaborated with Amazon Prime Video to slip in a secret character from the upcoming Season 2 of the series. Guests will experience this mystery character – introduced through specially filmed video content – hidden among recreations of iconic sets like Ma June’s Sundries and the Super Duper Mart
Plus, the house is packed with subtle brand-specific Easter eggs throughout the set decorations – from vault tech logos to familiar faction insignias – designed to deepen the experience for fans of the original game and show.
Where to look: In set dressing—on crates, signage, Vault 33 wall details, and raider camps.
Five Nights at Freddy’s
While the haunted house centres on the 2023 Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, you’ll find teases of the upcoming sequel waiting as you exit the attraction—hidden in promotional displays and perhaps in fleeting visual cues.
Where to look: Near the exit corridor, in posters and props.
Terrifier
Although not a traditional Easter egg, Terrifier isn’t shy about surprises. The house includes grisly effects— warm, iron-scented water, bleach, saline, and even feces smells —that stick with you long after, adding a disturbing sensory twist that amplifies the echo of its iconic kills
Where to look: Toward the finale scene with water effects and backstage prop areas.
WWE: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks
This haunted house re-creates a chilling moment from Monday Night Raw – the mass slaughter in the gorilla position when The Wyatt Sicks were introduced. As you progress, you pass through a video tunnel featuring 27 screens playing WWE wrestlers, and you will eventually find yourself face-to-face with The Fiend and iconic props like Bray Wyatt’s lantern.
It’s a haunting Easter egg-laden tribute for fans of his legacy.
Where to look: Inside the video tunnel and in Uncle Howdy’s surreal set.
Tribute Store
The Tribute Store (“Museum of Antiquities”) is packed with Easter eggs referencing past HHN icons and years. Long-time fans can spot nods to familiar characters, throwback paraphernalia, and nostalgic artifacts scattered among the merchandise, making it a treasure trove for those rooted in HHN’s lore.
Where to look: Display cases, tucked-away corners, faux “museum labels.”
