First Spec Map for Halloween Horror Nights 2025 Emerges—and Fans Are Already Screaming with Excitement!
It may only be March, but the spooky season speculation is already creeping in!

As with previous years, the speculation map is not official and subject to change. These early maps are based on behind-the-scenes whispers, insider tips, and some good old-fashioned deduction. Keep in mind, some intellectual property (IP) houses may never materialize due to rights issues or last-minute changes, so take everything with a grain of fog.
This year’s map is filled with intriguing symbols representing each potential haunted house location—some appear to hint at well-known horror franchises, while others likely represent original Universal-created concepts. Based on the clues provided, fans are already guessing that Five Nights at Freddy’s, Fallout, Terrifier, and possibly even a Scream themed house might be part of the terrifying lineup this year. If Universal follows their typical pattern, we should see 5 houses based on existing IP’s along with 5 houses with stories original to the event.

While nothing is confirmed yet, the very idea of stepping into the world of Terrifier or trying to survive a Five Nights at Freddy’s nightmare has fans oozing with excitement. Fallout could bring a radioactive twist to the scares, while Scream would be a scream come true for slasher fans hoping to finally face Ghostface in a haunted house setting. We are about 3 months away from the first wave of official announcements for the themed houses, so until then we will need to keep an eye on these spec maps as they are updated!
So what do you think of the first spec map of the season? Are there any franchises or original themes you’re dying to see become reality this fall? Let us know in the comments—and as always, we’ll see you in the fog. 💀🌫
