The immersive attraction will debut at Universal Orlando Resort on August 28 and at Universal Studios Hollywood on September 3.

Universal Studios executives expressed excitement about bringing this Academy Award-winning story to life in a fully immersive way that redefines the haunted house experience. Ticket options are now available for both locations, with the Orlando event running for 48 nights and featuring ten new haunted houses. Fans can also purchase merchandise including limited edition t-shirts, hats, and acrylic figures inspired by the Sinners haunted house.
