Universal Studios will open Ozzy Osbourne-themed haunted houses at its Orlando Resort and Hollywood site as part of Halloween Horror Nights, extending the late singer’s licensing programme internationally. The attractions are intended as immersive tributes to Osbourne’s solo career and his “Prince of Darkness” image, linking his music with horror-themed entertainment for fans.

Both houses will use songs from solo albums including ‘Blizzard of Ozz’, ‘Diary of a Madman’, ‘Bark at the Moon’, ‘No More Tears’, ‘Scream’ and ‘Ordinary Man’. The Hollywood experience begins in Birmingham and draws on ‘Diary of a Madman’, while Orlando takes visitors through ruins and dungeons into an Ozzy-led fantasy realm; Sharon and Jack Osbourne approved the projects and called them a fitting tribute.
