When Halloween Horror Nights returns next month it will feature five “chilling” scare zones, Universal Orlando has revealed.

Two of the scare zones are based on the horror movies “Trick ‘r Treat” and “The Purge.” The other three are original concepts from Universal’s entertainment team.

Trick ‘r Treat

  • Based on the 2007 horror film, this scare zones will see guests “punished” if they don’t follow the rules of Halloween. Several characters from the film will be featured, including Sam.

The Purge

  • A returning scare zone, The Purge will take guests through Universal’s New York streets, showing them what would happen if the Purge become a reality.

The Festival of the Deadliest

  • This scare zone will be a “celebration of blood and bone,” according to Universal. Madmen and monsters will emerge, creating a never-ending nightmare.

Altars of Horror

  • In this scare zone, guest will encounter character from this year’s haunted mazes.

Invasion!

  • This scare zone will have alien scientists performing “grotesque human experiments” as they plan the destruction of Earth.

Of course, roaming hordes will be located in various areas throughout the event. Beware of chainsaws.

Halloween Horror Nights also features haunted mazes. “American Horror Story,” “The Shining,” “Ash vs Evil Dead” and “Saw” are the only ones that have been revealed.

In addition to the haunted mazes, the event includes two live shows: “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” which bids farewell this year, and “Academy of Villains.”

Halloween Horror Nights runs select nights Sept. 15-Nov. 4.
