Just as the season six anticipation begins to rise, it has been revealed that American Horror Story will be a part of the 2016 Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, Orlando.

American Horror Story, FX's critically-acclaimed, Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television series that has terrorized viewers for five suspenseful installments, will come to life at "Halloween Horror Nights" at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood, beginning Friday, September 16.

Guests will embark on a terrifying journey to become the next doomed residents of Murder House from Installment 1, tortured performers in the disturbing and twisted Freak Show from Installment 4, and victims of the otherworldly, death-dealing Hotel from Installment 5.

For the first time ever, guests will venture through Ryan Murphy's horror anthology, encountering a number of iconic scenes and memorable characters designed to jolt them to their very core.

Twisted scenes from Murder House will unleash the evil spirits that possess the Harmon estate, spiraling guests through decades of the tortured dead who previously resided there.

In Freak Show, guests will join a troupe of biological misfits in a sinister sideshow where they'll be stalked by the murderous and deformed Twisty the Clown.

Finally, guests will succumb to the warped desires of The Countess after checking in to the haunted Hotel Cortez, conceived from the beginning as a torture chamber for its customers.

"'American Horror Story' is one of the most disturbing television shows ever produced, and with such perverse storylines unfolding with each installment, 'Halloween Horror Nights' is undoubtedly the only place that could create a living version of the nightmares that Ryan Murphy dreams up," said John Murdy, Creative Director at Universal Studios Hollywood and Executive Producer of Halloween Horror Nights.

"Plus, as a fan favorite, 'American Horror Story' has been the number one requested maze from our guests and we're excited to let them know that we listened to them and are bringing 'American Horror Story' to life."

The attraction - which showcases multiple chapters from the acclaimed FX anthology - offers a chilling live-action thrill and simultaneously complements the series highly anticipated premiere on September 14.
