What to Expect at Halloween Horror Nights
If you’re new to this freak show, you’ll need to know the basics. Halloween Horror Nights is intended for mature audiences, so it might not be suitable for younger children who scare easily.
Outside of the haunted houses, there will also be a variety of other scare factors and entertainment.
There will be five scare zones throughout the park, such as Dr. Oddfellow’s Collection of Horror, Dark Zodiac, Jungle of Doom: Expedition Horror, Vamp ‘69: Summer of Blood, and Shipyard 32: Horrors Unhinged.
There will also be live entertainment, such as Nightmare Fuel Revenge Dream, which will be a booming metal and electronica show that brings nightmares to life through pyro and aerial performers.
Before you attend, just know that Universal Orlando has a strict no-costume policy. Guests cannot wear masks, veils, long trains, have live animals, swords, or weaponry, and hand-crafted wands must be rounded on either end and appropriate in nature. Costumes also may not exceed 28 inches wide and 80 inches high, per Universal Orlando’s metal detection regulations.
Overall
Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights just gets more exciting with every year. With new haunted houses and scare zones in tow, this park has got spooky season in the bag!
