Learn about the history of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Japan with Halloween Horror Nights Academy: 15 Years of Screams. The show is held in the evenings at Gramercy Park.

Halloween Horror Nights Academy: 15 Years of Screams

The song and dance performance is introduced by a zombie custodian. Then zombie students arrive for their lesson.

With guest instructors, they take the show through 15 years of Halloween Horror Nights music, featuring anthems like “Rat-tat-tat,” “Show,” and “SO BAD.”

The guest instructors include various Halloween Horror Nights characters, like Dr. Chaos, a brilliant scientist dedicated to wiping out the zombie threat whose left arm is infected and not quite his own. There’s also DJ X, who turns fear into sound, his sets unleashing darkness.

The Ringmaster from HamiKuma’s circus days is featured. After HamiKuma met a cruel end at the hands of the troupe, the Ringmaster took his revenge and claimed the circus for himself.

HamiKuma is joined by some of his alter egos. HamiKuma Candy was introduced last year.

New this year are HamiKuma Lolly and Pop, who emerged from the ooze of blood red candy in HamiKuma Candy’s trick-or-treat bucket.
