While The Weeknd is wrapping up his final trilogy of albums, he has another horrifying one on the way this Halloween. The superstar announced on Wednesday (Aug. 7) that he’ll be returning to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood with a new haunted house, The Weeknd: Nightmare Trilogy.
The one-of-a-kind horror experience will feature surprises at every turn and music by The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) scored by his frequent collaborator and seven-time Grammy-winning producer Mike Dean.
In 2022, The Weeknd launched the After Hours Nightmare haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights that was inspired by his Billboard 200-topping album, After Hours. “I knew his songs, but I didn’t really understand how it all connected to horror until I sat down and started talking to Abel and then did a deep dive into his music,” Halloween Horror Nights creative director and executive producer John Murdy told Billboard at the time. “His music videos and his cinematic inspirations … was really I think the ‘a-ha’ moment for me.”
Halloween Horror Nights kicks off on Sept. 5 and will continue on select nights through Nov. 3. Various ticket options are now available on the Universal Studios website, including general admission; Universal Express; after 2 p.m. day/night; early access, which provides access to select haunted houses beginning at 5:30 p.m. (subject to change) in advance of the scheduled 7 p.m. event opening time; R.I.P. tour pass; Frequent Fear Pass and Ultimate Fear Pass.
