For those who want a little more fright in their Halloween experience, the annual Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando can’t be beat. The park pulls out all the stops for their annual fright fest.
Halloween Horror Nights was recently named “the country’s best Halloween event” for the fifth consecutive year by Amusement Today. The accolades are for a good reason. Every year, Universal Orlando raises the bar with new, creepy experiences that will gie you nightmares for weeks to come.
This year, Universal Orlando has a several new experiences lined up:
- All-new haunted houses featuring movie-quality sets, including four houses with the following themes:
- AMC’s hit television series “The Walking Dead”
- Video game and motion picture franchise “Silent Hill”
- The bad boys of magic, Penn & Teller
- Legendary shock rocker Alice Cooper
- Three brand new original houses featuring a daunting European cathedral (Gothic); a bone-chilling apparition-filled house (Dead End); and Universal’s classic monsters (House of Horrors).
- A completely reinvented street experience that will unleash scareactors in an all-new, terrifying way.
- Two shows, including the return of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure and brand new this year, The 20 Penny Circus, featuring “magic for people with questionable taste.”
Halloween Horror Nights begins at 6:30 p.m. and runs select nights through October 31. For more information about the event – or to purchase tickets – visit www.halloweenhorrornights.com/orlando.
