Ozzy Osbourne & his 13 solo albums are being honored at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights via epic new haunted house.
If you’ve spent any time reading Sunset N’ Clark, then you already know there’s no artist we admire more than Ozzy. To us, he isn’t just the Godfather of Heavy Metal—he’s one of the most influential and revered entertainers ever. His music has dominated rock radio for decades, so seeing his legacy celebrated in such an epic way in SoCal is incredibly exciting.
“We are honored to collaborate with the Osbourne family to create a unique haunted house that celebrates the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne,” says Mike Aiello, senior director of entertainment creative development at Universal Orlando Resort, which is also hosting a Halloween Horror Nights haunted house dedicated to Ozzy. “It was important for us to create an authentic experience that brings Ozzy’s creativity and personality to life in an eerily immersive new way. Fans will discover so many meaningful details as they navigate memorable dark and twisted moments inspired by his iconic musical career.”
If you’ve been lucky enough to attend past years’ Halloween Horror Nights at Universal StudiosHollywood, then you know that the annual showcase is one of the greatest fall events in all of SoCal.

Every autumn, Universal transforms itself into an unforgettable spectacle of movie-quality scares, jaw-dropping production design, and immersive storytelling. It’s terrifying, ridiculously fun, and one of those experiences that reminds you why L.A. is the entertainment capital of the world.
What makes it even cooler is that Halloween Horror Nights has never been afraid to embrace rock and heavy metal. Over the years, the event has incorporated legendary artists like Rob Zombie and Black Sabbath, and now Universal is once again giving heavy metal music the spotlight by honoring the one and only Ozzy.
The all-original “Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness” haunted house takes fans on a journey through more than 45 years of Ozzy’s remarkable solo career. Fans will face scary scenarios inspired by classic albums like Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman, Bark at the Moon, No More Tears, Scream, and Ordinary Man.
The experience begins in Ozzy’s childhood home in Birmingham, England, before sending guests on a nightmarish ride aboard the Crazy Train into the creepy “Osbourne Asylum.” Along the way, visitors will come face-to-face with some of Ozzy’s most iconic personas, from the “Madman” to the legendary “Prince of Darkness” himself.
“Ozzy never stopped pushing boundaries, and he loved anything that gave fans a new way to experience his music and the worlds he created,” says his widow Sharon Osbourne.
“Halloween Horror Nights has done an incredible job bringing that spirit to life,” adds son Jack Osbourne. “Walking through these haunted houses, you’ll recognize so many moments inspired by his music and imagination. It’s a wonderful tribute to Ozzy, and we hope fans have as much fun experiencing it as he would have had seeing it come together.”
It’s wonderful to see Universal honoring one of rock’s greatest legends in such a creative, immersive, and larger-than-life way. Ozzy’s music, imagery, and influence have always been cinematic, so Halloween Horror Nights feels like the perfect stage for celebrating everything that made him an icon.
“Ozzy Osbourne didn’t just help define heavy metal—he created a cultural phenomenon that has influenced generations of music, art and horror,” says John Murdy, executive producer of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.

“We previously had the privilege of collaborating with Ozzy, and this new haunted house is an opportunity to honor his extraordinary solo career,” he continues. “Inspired by all 13 of his albums, guests will journey through the dark, surreal worlds that fueled his music and cemented his legacy as the one and only Prince of Darkness.”
