UNIVERSAL CITY, CA — Too soon to start thinking about Halloween? Not at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The amusement park in Universal City is prepping its Halloween Horror Nights, which begin in September with eight haunted houses.

For the 2022 extravaganza, Universal Pictures’ most notorious horror icons, The Wolf Man, Dracula and The Mummy, will come together for the first time in all-new “Universal Monsters: Legends Collide” haunted house as part of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood — and guests will be invited to join these infamous classic monsters in an "epic battle," park officials said.

The movie studio that created the onscreen legacies, Universal Pictures, is the inspiration for the theme park's "monstrous triple threat" haunted house, management said

Visitors will be transported to the 19th century with the monster trio seeking one thing: The Amulet of Ra, a relic the Wolf Man believes contains the power to lift his dreaded curse, while Dracula and The Mummy have nefarious plans to use it to bring humankind to its knees, the park said.

"With the full moon on the rise and a race against time, guests find themselves entangled in a bloodthirsty battle between the terrifying titans — and only one will survive."
