This year’s Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood will feature Chainsaw Man: The Chaos, an original anime horror short based on the hit Japanese manga and MAPPA’s anime series.
The short will play in-language within the DreamWorks Theatre. The poster for it can be seen below.
According to the official synopsis, Chainsaw Man: The Chaos “recounts the tale of Denji and the Devil Hunters as they battle the Halloween Horror Nights Devil and his army of zombies. Denji, resurrected into Chainsaw Man, a devil-human hybrid with protruding chainsaws from his body, ultimately takes control in a quest to combat the Devils. It’s an extreme showdown that dares guests to survive a chaos of screams and blood.”
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood begins Thursday, September 4 and runs select nights through Sunday, November 2, 2025.
There’s even more Chainsaw Man coming this fall. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc will open in Japan on September 19 before hitting US theaters October 29, 2025.
The movie is directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and written by Hiroshi Seko. The voice cast reprises their roles from the anime, which premiered October 2022.
In IGN’s Chainsaw Man review, our reviewer Rafael Motamayor gave the anime a 9/10 and said the show “more than lives up to the manga’s hype with some stunning and brutal action, gallows humor, an incredibly bleak story, and an endearing protagonist.”
