Global Merchandising Services (GMS), the worldwide licensing agent for Ozzy Osbourne, has partnered with Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights to create original haunted houses celebrating the late rocker's solo career. The "Ozzy Osbourne: Prince Of Darkness" experiences will debut at Universal Orlando Resort on 28 August and Universal Studios Hollywood on 3 September, forming the latest step in the ongoing expansion of Ozzy's global merchandising and licensing programme following the inaugural "Ozzy Osbourne Day" held worldwide on 22 July.

The attractions draw on more than four decades of Osbourne's music and imagery, with scenes inspired by albums including "Blizzard Of Ozz", "Diary Of A Madman", "Bark At The Moon", "No More Tears" and "Ordinary Man". Sharon and Jack Osbourne, along with Universal executives John Murdy and Mike Aiello, described the houses as an authentic tribute incorporating hidden Easter eggs, while the tie-in also includes a limited-edition merchandise line sold at both parks and via shopUniversal.com.
