Though it was previously announced that this year's Stranger things haunted house would primarily be based on Season 2 of the show Universal released the official map for Halloween Horror Nights, and it includes a Starcourt Mall food court, a reference to one of the main locations for the third, most recent season of the show.

This year's event will kick off very soon, running from September 6 through to November 2 at Universal Studios Florida.
