Halloween Horror Nights Has Sold Out for September 24
Now that Halloween Horror Nights has sold out for tonight, are you hoping to get tickets for another evening’s scares? Let us know in the comments.
What is Halloween Horror Nights?
Halloween Horror Nights is a separately ticketed event on select nights in the fall catering to adults. The event will be held at Universal Studios Florida and features 10 haunted houses, 5 scare zones, and live entertainment.
A ticket to Halloween Horror Nights includes access to all the haunted houses, zones, and entertainment, as well as select attractions around the park. The only attractions open during the event are Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts (until 11 p.m.), Transformers The Ride 3D (until 11 p.m.), Revenge of the Mummy, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, and Men in Black Alien Attack. Food and drinks, including alcohol, are available for purchase at the event and no outside food or beverage can go through security after 5 p.m. on event nights except for 1 sealed bottle of water per person. Empty water bottles can be brought in and refilled for free from the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.
How Scary Is It?
There’s not an easy answer to this question, unfortunately. The houses and scare zones rely heavily on jump scares, but also use more innovative ways to creep people out. Many of the sets are very elaborate and extremely detailed. Houses often use different scents to add to the immersion, and these smells can be overwhelming. It can be gory, and gross.
If you aren’t one to be spooked in the theater during a horror movie, you’ll probably be fine. If open wounds, disembowelments, or heavy violence make you squeamish, you may not have a good time.
Universal recommends that children under the age of 13 do not attend.
We recommend watching videos from last year’s event to gauge your tolerance. This year’s lineup is completely different, so the videos won’t spoil you but the general scare level is the same from year to year.
Our playlist of videos inside each house and more from 2022 can be found below.
