Last 2 houses of Horror Nights: ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s,’ WWE maze

[Disney4me]

Universal Orlando has announced the final two haunted houses planned for the 2025 edition of its Halloween Horror Nights, with mazes based on the world of WWE and the 2023 film “Five Nights at Freddy’s.”

In the house named WWE Presents: The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks, HHN guests will meet up with Uncle Howdy and the “one of the most disturbing groups in WWE history,” a Universal news release says. “Ramblin Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch and Huskus the Pig will be waiting to take bloody retribution on a world that has abandoned them.”  Also on hand: the Fiend, looming in the shadows.

In wrestling circles, the Wyatt Sicks is named in honor of Bray Wyatt, a WWE wrestler who died of heart problems exacerbated by COVID in 2023.  Wyatt was born in Brooksville and was a star at Orlando-based NXT in 2012-13. He wrestled at WrestleMania at Camping World Stadium in 2017.

“Five Nights at Freddy’s” had been identified months ago as a part of Horror Nights, but its house was not made official until Tuesday. Expect a setting of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria and full-scale replicas of Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy and Mr. Cupcake, Universal says. The characters were created in collaboration with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

“Five Nights” is the highest-grossing Blumhouse film, an adaptation of a 2014 videogame. The film stars Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail and Matthew Lillard, who are also in the cast of “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2,” which is set for release in December.
