The world in Ryan Coogler‘s Sinners is so vivid and detailed it seems to leap off the screen. Now you can double down on that feeling thanks to Universal Studios’ annual Halloween Horror Nights event, which is adding an immersive attraction themed around the multiple Oscar winner to its 2026 slate.

The park announced the Sinners haunted house with a video teasing what guests can expect: music, card tricks, and frights.

“The terrifying Halloween Horror Nights house will transport guests back in time to the popular Club Juke where they will quickly realize that nothing is as it seems when nefarious, red-eyed vampires Remmick, Bert, and Joan appear with their insatiable hunger,” reads a press release. “As they attempt to evade the vampires at every turn, fans will encounter some of their favorite characters lifted straight from the film, including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline, and Cornbread. Caught in a deadly struggle between twins Smoke and Stack and the bloodthirsty vampires, guests must survive the night—because the terror will only relent once the sun rises.”

Universal will be announcing additional details about other HHN attractions soon, but you can’t really blame ’em for wanting to offer some early hype for Sinners‘ arrival in the lineup. Not only was the movie a hit with critics and Oscar voters, but it also earned over $370 million globally, a towering number for any release, much less an original horror tale.

Halloween Horror Nights comes to life every year at both Universal Studios Hollywood (running select nights September 3 through November 1) and Universal Orlando Resort (running select nights August 28 through November 1). Tickets are on sale now.
