Universal Studios Japan's Halloween Horror Nights returns for its 15th anniversary edition, running September 11 to November 8. The park announced the dates on August 27, alongside a lineup that leans heavily on food and merchandise tied to outside properties.
For the first time in park history, a nighttime-only Zombie Bar takes over the Wharf Cafe in the San Francisco area after 6 p.m. Zombified crew members serve cocktails inspired by zombies from past events, with non-alcoholic options available. The Universal Market area gets school festival stall food themed to high school zombies from the special show "Halloween Horror Nights Academy: 15 Years of Despair."
Collaboration items anchor the anniversary lineup. Chainsaw Man food includes a keema curry-flavored bun modeled after Denji's transformed state and a Pochita frozen parfait, with T-shirts and keychains sold at the Cinema 4-D Store. The Biohazard Requiem maze gets a Green Herb Recovery Croissant Dog and Leon S. Kennedy's Bitter Chocolate Churritos. A separate announcement on August 18 revealed a first-time collaboration between Junji Ito's Tomie and the event's Street Zombies, using original artwork by Ito. Tomie goods go on sale September 9 at Studio Style, ahead of the event's September 11 opening. Select menus come with collectible 15th-anniversary coasters.
