- Universal Orlando's Horror Make-Up Show closing to make way for a reimagined version of the show
Featuring movie clips, props, and interactive demonstrations, this outrageous live show has been a popular experience at Universal Studios Florida since opening in 1990. Universal Orlando Resort has announced that the iconic Horror Make-Up Show at Universal Studios Florida will undergo a temporarily closure beginning May 12, 2026. The Horror Make-Up Show which has been a staple at Universal Studios Florida since the park's opening in 1990, is closing to make way for a reimagined version of the attraction which is set to debut later this year. When the live show returns, expect lots of changes, Universal Orlando Resort describe the revamped show to :showcase a mix of classic and modern horror properties along with shockingly fun surprises – all while staying true to the comedic and irreverent spirit that guests know and love." Discover the latest theme park news and updates from Orlando's theme parks, including Universal Orlando Resort. The Horror Make-Up Show at Universal Studios Florida is a hidden gem at the park, but it’s a live show that’s been buried in plain sight for 30 years. The show opened on June 24, 1990, just a couple of weeks after Universal Studios’ grand opening. It was originally set up to be in the style of a nighttime talk show about Universal Studios’ horror films. A perfect fit for the new park’s “riding the movies” theme, especially since Universal Studios basically created the horror genre. Over the years, the show has morphed into what it is up until now, two actors take to the stage as a host and a make-up artist and give the audience an inside look into how horror films are made. We will have to wait until later this year to see the changes Universal have planned for this live show.
