Universal is bringing Stranger Things villain Vecna to Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando and Los Angeles.
People will be able to enter the terrifying “upside down” world from the popular Netflix show on Sept. 1 at Universal Orlando Resort and on Sept. 7 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
The haunted house promises to transport guests to Hawkins, Indiana, where they “will encounter the newest supernatural villain, Vecna, who is hell-bent on obliterating the volatile barrier between the eerie Upside Down and the real world,” according to a press release.
The theme of the haunted house is centered around the “mind-bending twists and supernatural terror” of Stranger Things season 4, which followed heroes Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Max (Sadie Sink) and Eddie (Joseph Quinn) among others in their battle against Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). Those same characters will also be featured in the haunted house.

Universal said the attraction will “immerse” people in “a heart-pounding experience” as they are attacked by Vecna and otherworldly creatures like demobats while traversing through iconic backdrops featured in the fourth season of the hit show, including the Hawkins Lab, the creepy Creel House and Vecna's chilling mind lair.
“In a race against the clock, guests find themselves in the ultimate showdown within Vecna's blood-red mindscape, striving to escape and save mankind from his deadly curse,” per the press release.
