TV Show-Inspired Haunted Houses

The Stranger Things Haunted House Features Frights and Foods

— October 2, 2018 — Pop Culture
Available at Universal Studios theme park's Halloween Horror Nights event, the Stranger Things haunted house brings horrors from the Upside Down into real life. Offering faithful recreations of the Stranger Things set, the haunted house masterfully re-creates the Byers Home, Hawkins National Laboratory, and everything in-between. The Stranger Things haunted house also includes a re-creation of the first season's opening scenes for visitors to truly explore.

The Stranger Things haunted house will also be joined by several foods from the Netflix series. This includes Hopper's candy waffles, donuts topped with waffle pieces, an Upside Down Burger and Demogorgon Totchos. The Burger features a spicy queso and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, while the Totchos are basically a mix of tater tots and nachos that also utilize Flamin Hot Cheetos.
