Date Posted: 03/08/2023


Starting this September Halloween Horror Nights is back with 10 new Haunted Houses, 5 sinister Scare Zones and so much more… be prepared for a twisted nightmare! Whether you dare to go alone or need to summon your scream squad, you’re in for a wicked treat that only the courageous can survive. Are you up for the challenge?

Haunted Houses

Inspired by some of the biggest names in horror, Universal’s 10 Haunted Houses are designed to strike fear into even the bravest of souls. The movie-set quality will transport you to another world, one you may quickly want to escape! Can you stop Vecna’s horrific curse in Stranger Things 4 or maybe you’ll stay silent enough to escape the Clickers in The Last of UsTM? Do you think you could survive the chilling events of the new The Exorcist: Believer movie or even escape Chucky’s gorefest of a haunted house?

But that’s not all, get your pulse-pounding as you descend into the Parisian Catacombs and face the horrors of a mob of monsters or try your odds against Dr Oddfellow’s menacing menagerie of twisted oddities! From Yetis to Moon-worshippers and Dragons to The Collector, there’s no shortage of nightmarish haunted houses for you to explore.

Sinister Scare Zones

The haunted houses aren’t the only places to be aware. As you roam the streets you’ll find creepy characters depicting terrifying tales! Make sure you’ve got your running shoes on when you enter the gruesome world of Dr Oddfellow, the face of this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Will you be lured in with the promise of immortality or can you resist the trap? Enter the Vamp 69: Summer of Blood concert at your own risk as you may just come into contact with vicious vampires looking for their next meal or venture deep into Jungle of Doom where monstrous creatures lurk, victims of horrific experiments gone wrong!

All the Extras

Still looking for something else to give you the ultimate adrenaline rush? Make your way onto some of the parks most thrilling rides and attractions for the full Universal experience. Or watch in awe at the bewildering live entertainment as Halloween Horror Nights sees the return of Nightmare Fuel Revenge Dream show! Expect pyrotechnics, aerial performers and optical illusions that will blow your mind. Even the food will be on theme, you’ve got to have a treat in amongst all the tricks, right?

What About Tickets?

When it comes to HHN tickets it’s good to note that these are purchased separate from your normal park tickets. You can buy a 1-night ticket which will grant you access to an unforgettable evening of horror. Looking to make the most of your trip? Why not book into one of the onsite Universal Hotels for the ultimate shocking stay where you can make the most of excusive spine-chilling photo opportunities with Universal Monsters: Gallery of Legends!

Good to Knows

There are a few things you might want to consider before booking your tickets and setting your countdown. First up, the event isn’t recommended for children under the age of 13 years old, it’s enough to make even grown adults scream so if you’re planning on bringing any little ones, make sure they’re up for the fright. Remember that the closer to Halloween you get, the busier the event is likely to be. This also goes for weekend dates too so if you’re looking to attend the park at these times, it’s best to get your tickets booked as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Factor in extra costs such as food, drinks and parking (which will start from around $30). Finally, make sure to check the weather forecast before turning up. Come rain or shine the event will go ahead so you don’t want to be caught off guard whether you need your raincoat or sunglasses, it’s best to be prepared.
