What Sharon and Jack Osbourne Said About the Halloween Horror Nights Tribute
Sharon and Jack Osbourne issued a joint statement about the project. “Ozzy never stopped pushing boundaries, and he loved anything that gave fans a new way to experience his music and the worlds he created,” they said. “Halloween Horror Nights has done an incredible job bringing that spirit to life. Walking through these haunted houses, you’ll recognize so many moments inspired by his music and imagination. It’s a wonderful tribute to Ozzy, and we hope fans have as much fun experiencing it as he would have had seeing it come together.”
Halloween Horror Nights Producer on Ozzy Osbourne’s Legacy
John Murdy, executive producer of Halloween Horror Nights, said Ozzy Osbourne “didn’t just help define heavy metal, he created a cultural phenomenon that has influenced generations of music, art and horror.” Murdy said Universal previously collaborated with Osbourne and called the new haunted house an opportunity to honor his solo career, adding that guests will “journey through the dark, surreal worlds that fueled his music” and that cemented his legacy as “the one and only Prince Of Darkness.”
Part of a Wider Series of Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Projects
The haunted house is one of several tribute projects teased by Sharon Osbourne following Ozzy’s death. The one-year anniversary of his passing was commemorated the week before the attraction was announced, with tributes posted by each of his former Black Sabbath bandmates. The announcement also follows news of a separate Ozzy Osbourne AI-driven digital avatar currently in development.
