Sinners released last year and made over $370 million at the global box office, while earning widespread acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Now, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Sinners adds “haunted house” to its repertoire as it joins Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood will both be getting the Sinners haunted house.

The film that Sinners is is nothing to scoff at. It is the highest-grossing original horror film of all time, and it received a record-breaking 16 Academy Award nominations and four Oscar wins. The film takes place in 1930s Mississippi, where twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to their hometown to open a juke joint for their community. Celebration turns to panic as unrelenting vampires crash the opening night, threatening to violently curse the guests in a brutal battle for survival.

“It’s been incredible to see audiences connect with Sinners in such a powerful way,” said Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian, producers of Sinners and founders of Proximity Media, in a joint statement. “Now, partnering with Halloween Horror Nights gives fans the chance to step even deeper into the world of the film — to feel the music, the atmosphere and the tension all around them. Watching it come to life on this scale has been really special for all of us.”

The Halloween Horror Nights house will transport guests back in time to the popular Club Juke, where they will encounter red-eyed vampires Remmick, Bert, and Joan, who appear with their insatiable hunger. You’ll need to evade the vampires at every turn! Fans will encounter some of their favorite characters from the film, including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline, and Cornbread. You’ll be caught in a deadly struggle between the twins, Smoke and Stack, and the bloodthirsty vampires. Can you survive the night until the sun rises?

“At Halloween Horror Nights, we push the boundaries of what a live horror experience can be,” said Executive Producer for Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Studios Hollywood, John Murdy. “Just as Ryan Coogler’s Academy Award winning film, Sinners re-invented the vampire movie, we are re-inventing the haunted house and creating new ways to scare our guests that we’ve never attempted and are thrilled to bring this amazing story to life in a truly terrifying and fully immersive way.”

Its world, characters and intensity will translate into a relentless haunted house.
