Fall is almost here, and you know what that means? It’s time we bring out our pretty plaid pants and drink pumpkin spice latte and decorate our houses with spooky fairy lights to welcome Halloween. With fall, the most awaited event, “Halloween Horror Nights” is returning with lots of exciting plans as well. The food and beverage lined up for the annual event were revealed a couple of days back.
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights will feature 10 haunted houses, 8 mazes, and 5 scare zones, along with 2 live shows and the expanded Terror Trams. Scare zones are outdoor areas decorated with costumed characters to match the all-over spooky theme of the park. This year’s scare zones are Sweet Revenge and Conjure The Dark. Two live shows will also be held during this long event. The live shows are called Halloween Nightmare Fuel Wildfire and Ghoulish! A Halloween Tale.
The HHN event is all set to enter its 31st year at the magical Universal Studio Orlando. The event will run for 43 nights which is a record number for this historic event. The very best night to attend this event filled with thrill and excitement is Wednesday. However, Saturdays are the busiest nights with people coming from all over the area. The crowds usually increase around Halloween since it’s the main day for celebration.
HHN Special Experiences
The HHN Orlando Special Experiences at the Universal Orlando Resort provides guests with access to limited themed experiences at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort. The guests staying at one out of any eight Universal Orlando hotels get to click pictures with The Wolf Man, Dracula, and The Mummy at Universal Monsters: Gallery of Legends. The Swizzie Lounge is getting a spooky makeover as well. Guests can order any creepy specialty cocktails this year from the bar. These experiences will only be available to hotel guests. Guests can enjoy these special offers starting 2nd September onwards.
There are also several other amazing things planned for these guests. The R.I.P. tour grants VIP access to everything HHN has to offer, such as one-time entry to all the houses, reserved seating at selected shows, Universal Express Unlimited ride access at all participating rides, and any attraction parts for the date of the guests’ tour. It additionally includes a pre-tour reception in Café La Bamba, access to exclusive cash bar locations, complimentary valet parking, and finally, a commemorative tour credential, lanyard, and a pin.
HHN Tours
Apart from this offer, there is a Private R.I.P. Tour option too. This will grant one guest along with nine other guests all the same perks as the regular R.I.P. tour offer, but it will also include a few extra features. It includes an unlimited priority VIP entry to all the houses, a customizable itinerary, and a My Universal Photos 3-day photo package.
There’s a Behind The Scream: Unmasking the Horror Tour, which will give the guests a unique and lights-on experience of the horror houses. They can choose out of any of the two offers varying on the duration, but both of these tours allow people to capture every gory detail of select rooms. The two tours are Behind The Scream: 3-House Unmasking The Horror Tour, which is 2 ½ hours long, available in the morning or afternoon, and the Behind The Scream 6-House Unmasking The Horror Tour, which will last for 4-5 hours.
Finally, the guests can also enjoy the “scare actor dining experience” this year which is basically a buffet meal with a scare actor. Guests can take a photograph with these actors during their meal time and get one digital download of one photo taken during their time.
Halloween Horror Nights: When Does It Begin?
Halloween Horror Nights will begin on 2nd September 2022 and run until 31st October 2022, ending on Halloween day. The event will run on select nights from September through October at Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida.
