Horror Nights Babelsberg

About Horror Nights Babelsberg

On ten Fridays and Saturdays in October and November 2026, Filmpark Babelsberg in Potsdam transforms into an immersive world of horror. The Filmpark's Horror Nights are among Germany's best-known Halloween events: you only enter the grounds after 10:40 PM – the regular theme park operations have long since closed – and from 11 PM, the studio grounds become a walk-through horror show. Walk-through areas, scareactors with live scares, themed sets from real film productions, and several continuous productions create a format that deliberately sets itself apart from classic haunted houses. Due to the intensity, admission is for ages 16 and up. Dates 2026: October 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24, 30, and 31, as well as November 6 and 7.

Halloween in the Film City

Filmpark Babelsberg is the gateway to the historic Babelsberg film studio in Potsdam – home to productions like "Metropolis" (1927), "Inglourious Basterds," or "Babylon Berlin." By day, it's a theme park for families with stunt shows and film sets; every autumn, the 16-hectare grounds transform into a completely different venue: The Filmpark's Horror Nights are among the largest and oldest Halloween events in Germany.

For 2026, ten dates have been confirmed: October 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24, 30, and 31, as well as November 6 and 7. On each Friday and Saturday, the grounds open – but only for a very specific audience.

The chills begin after midnight

What sets the Babelsberg Horror Nights apart from comparable haunted houses is the nighttime format:

Admission: 10:40 PM – approaching midnight
Start: 11:00 PM
Minimum age: 16 years

This concept is the program: The Filmpark closes its regular daytime operations, the grounds are completely reconfigured, and only then does it open for the night – empty studio area, complete darkness, all stages and halls become settings for a grand walk-through horror show.

What awaits you

The exact themes are traditionally kept secret by the Filmpark – part of the experience is the surprise. These elements are constant:

Walk-through houses: continuously accessible themed worlds with detailed staging
Scareactors: costumed actors who surprise and engage the audience
Themed sets from real film productions – the Filmpark recycles studio sets for its horror program
Outdoor areas on the 16-hectare grounds, fog, sound design
Themed restaurants and bars in Halloween mode
Live shows: stunts, pyrotechnics, horror-themed performances

Tickets and Information

Tickets are sold through the official website and Ticketmaster – usually with early bird and VIP options. Popular dates (Halloween weekend October 30/31) often sell out weeks in advance. Due to the intense staging, the format is explicitly not suitable for people with cardiovascular issues or phobias. Sturdy footwear, warm clothing, and caution: those who startle easily will get their money's worth here.
