Come Face to Face with Caged Cannibals in a Defunct Zoo at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights

A defunct zoo comes to terrifying life in an all-new haunted house at this year's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando.

What's Happening:

• The third original haunted house for 2026 at Halloween Horror Nights has been revealed, titled MADLANDS: Caged Canibals.
• Based off the title alone, this house feels like it will be pretty intense. You'll enter into a defunct zoo, which is now the deadly domain of warring cannibal factions that have taken their animal instincts to extremes. They’re territorial. They’re hungry. And you’re lunch.
• Enjoy MADLANDS: Caged Canibals for yourself when Halloween Horror Nights kicks off on Friday, August 28.

• Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow are also back for the 35th Halloween Horror Nights, facing off in their own haunted house.
• Earlier this week, we found out about another original house, titled H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular!
• This year's event will also see at least two IP houses, with Sinners and Stranger Things 5 announced so far.
• More details on the Hollywood version of the event will be revealed at Midsummer Scream in August.
