What Sharon and Jack Osbourne Said About the Haunted House
Sharon and Jack Osbourne released a joint statement addressing 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 Honoring Ozzy Osbourne’s Legacy
John Murdy, executive producer of Halloween Horror Nights, framed the attraction as a tribute to Osbourne’s influence beyond music. “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. He added that the haunted house was built to celebrate Osbourne’s solo career, noting that “guests will journey through the dark, surreal worlds that fueled his music” and that it cements Osbourne’s identity as “the one and only Prince Of Darkness.”
Murdy also noted that Universal had worked with Osbourne before this project came together, calling the new attraction a chance to honor that history alongside his solo discography.
Part of a Larger Series of Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Projects
The haunted house is one of several tribute efforts that Sharon Osbourne has teased since Ozzy Osbourne’s death. The announcement arrived the week after the one-year anniversary of his passing, which was marked with tribute posts from his former Black Sabbath bandmates. It also follows separate news of an Ozzy Osbourne AI-driven digital avatar that remains in development.
