Take a look inside the Hatchet & Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters house at Universal Studios Florida
Y’all better hold onto your ten-gallon hats—because Hatchet & Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters is galloping into Halloween Horror Nights 34, and it’s shaping up to be one rootin’-tootin’ nightmare of a haunted house.
This original house stars two unlikely partners: Hatchet, an undead demon with brute strength and silence as his calling card, and Chains, a gruff bounty hunter who can see and understand demons. Together, they’re riding into town to stop a horde of body-snatching lava demons that have been summoned from the fiery depths of Hell’s Well. Their mission? Save a small cowtown before the monsters board the cattle train and spread their chaos across the country.

The Story: A Western Gone Wicked
Like all good cowboy tales, this one begins with a town in trouble. A bitter old woman, unhappy about the construction of a new train depot, calls upon demonic forces to do her dirty work. What follows is pure HHN mayhem: demons that don’t just possess—they rip open mouths and crawl inside, fusing flesh and metal in grotesque ways.
Senior show director Charles Gray teases that fans will see multiple stages of possession, from twisted flesh demons to “hodgepodge” creations patched together with clamps and scraps. And if that doesn’t sound wild enough, keep an eye out for elaborate puppets, UV lighting effects, and grisly transformations that bring the supernatural carnage to life.
The House: A Town Under Siege
Guests will step into a dusty Western town filled with all the classic stops—like the Horse-Toothed Saloon (a familiar face from Slaughter Sinema 2), the undertaker’s parlor, a fellowship hall, and a graveyard crawling with corpses.
Along the way, eagle-eyed guests can follow subtle blood trails through the scenes, connecting victims to their monstrous fates. For those who love HHN’s Unmasking the Horror Tour, this house is packed with layered details and Easter eggs designed for repeat visits.
And it wouldn’t be a true Western showdown without a few big set pieces. Expect molten cracks splitting the earth, hatchets lodged in walls, chains dangling overhead, and even a jaw-dropping train car effect that looks like it’s barreling right past you. The finale? Well, that’s still under wraps—but the creative team promises a surprise that’ll knock your spurs off.
