The time for ghosts, monsters, and scares is quickly approaching. Universal Orlando Resort has revealed more details about the impending terror awaiting guests brave enough to attend this year’s Halloween Horror Nights! Among the announcements made were six terrifying new original concepts that will complete this year’s lineup of ten haunted houses. Alongside the houses will be five sinister scare zones and two live shows.
This special Halloween event will kick off Friday, September 2nd, and will run on select nights until October 31st. This year will be extra special because this world premier Halloween event is turning 31 years old. To celebrate this exceptional year, the themes of a traditional Halloween are being turned upside down and used as twisted inspiration for the new original haunted houses and scare zones. Playing on guests’ worst fears, Universal Orlando Resort will be unleashing everything from pumpkins seeking vengeance to deranged trick-or-treaters.
After all the terrors, guests might need a break. As such, there will be two outrageous live shows to enjoy. Facing your fears is sure to work up an appetite, so make sure to check out the special and sinfully delicious foods and beverages offered throughout the park. Last but not least, guests will be able to shop the latest merchandise in the all-new Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store and enjoy Universal Studios’ most exciting rides and attractions.
