ORLANDO, Fla. – War pigs, werewolves and a one-way ticket on the Crazy Train — Universal Orlando Resort is ready to bark at the moon.

The resort announced Halloween Horror Nights will pay tribute to heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne with an all-original haunted house titled “Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness,” inspired by his legendary solo career.

Spanning 45 years of Osbourne’s career, the haunted house is designed as a living horror movie.

Guests venture through ancient ruins and foreboding dungeons before boarding the Crazy Train into a realm ruled by the Prince of Darkness himself, drawing from the heavier sound and sinister imagery of Ozzy’s later career. Album covers from fan favorites including “Diary of a Madman,” “Bark at the Moon,” “The Ultimate Sin” and “Black Rain” inspired the experience.

“We are honored to collaborate with the Osbourne family to create a unique haunted house that celebrates the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne,” said Mike Aiello, senior director of Entertainment Creative Development at Universal Orlando Resort. “Fans will discover so many meaningful details, including a few Easter Eggs, as they navigate memorable dark and twisted moments inspired by his iconic musical career.”

Limited-release merchandise, including a T-shirt and Ozzy acrylic figure, is available now at Universal Orlando and launches Thursday at 9 a.m.

Running Aug. 27 through Nov. 1, Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights is celebrating its 35th year with 10 all-new haunted houses, outrageous entertainment, terrifying scare zones and street experiences.
