Just one day before the Passholder Preview, Universal Orlando Resort has shared a sneak peek inside the Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida.
Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store
Originally shared by the official Halloween Horror Nights Orlando account on X (formerly Twitter), the video is framed like an urban explorer traversing an abandoned city, and eventually traveling beneath the Museum of Antiquities, where a female bat monster (likely Batilda or a relation) lurks awaiting her revenge.

We enter into Kurt’s Supplies, which has been long abandoned. It used to sell Ice Cream Desserts, Toilet Paper, Fresh Meat, Cold Drinks & Coffee, and more. Everything has a very post-apocalyptic feel, with deteriorating structures and nature reclaiming the environment.

Into the shop further, we can see merch displays, such as this one featuring Lil’ Boo.

The shop clearly became a haven for supplies for survivors. There’s not much useful left, though there is some Mel’s Die-In merchandise.

Kurt had two rules in the aftermath: cash only and don’t waste his time.
![Universal Orlando Shares Sneak Peek Inside Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store 7 A poster on a wall reads "If you see a bat, take it out. The only good bats are no bats," with an image of a bat crossed out. Green foliage is partially visible on the left, setting the scene for Halloween Horror Nights 33 at the tribute store.](https://media.wdwnt.com/2024/08/UOR-USF-HHN-33-Tribute-Store-preview-video-9.jpg)
Kurt has also printed and posted anti-bat propaganda. It says “If you see a bat, take it out. The only good bats are no bats. Brought to you buy Kurt’s Supplies.”

Subtitles at the bottom read: "Stolen from the museum.](https://media.wdwnt.com/2024/08/UOR-USF-HHN-33-Tribute-Store-preview-video-10.jpg)
The explorer notes that the Bat Idol was stolen from the Antique Museum (Sahara Traders). A map shows the danger zones around the museum. The space used for the HHN Tribute Store is adjacent to/part of the extended indoor queue for Revenge of the Mummy (and therefore, the Museum of Antiquities), so the story this year is tied into the real-life location.

The explorer grabs an empty can of Gerg’s Llama Beans and remarks that there’s nothing left here. The supplies have been wiped out long before our arrival. The can is actually one of the ways guests can “become a part of the Tribute Store.” The beans, as well as other products, will be on display with guest’s photos on the labels.

We leave Kurt’s Supplies and go through a dark, eerie alley.

It takes us to an industrial-style room with light-up decor, including a large HHN in the center.

An old Tribute Store sign is in here as well.
![Universal Orlando Shares Sneak Peek Inside Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store 15 Dimly lit, makeshift shelter with scattered belongings and a flashlight illuminating one corner. Caption reads, "Survivors of the first attack," reminiscent of scenes you'd find at Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store.](https://media.wdwnt.com/2024/08/UOR-USF-HHN-33-Tribute-Store-preview-video-19.jpg)
![Universal Orlando Shares Sneak Peek Inside Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store 16 A dimly lit scene depicts a partially torn plastic sheet with "SEND HELP" scrawled in red, next to an illuminated sign with partially visible letters—a chilling preview of Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store.](https://media.wdwnt.com/2024/08/UOR-USF-HHN-33-Tribute-Store-preview-video-20.jpg)
It seems like this abandoned warehouse was being used as a safe haven by survivors of the first attack. An old hideout can be seen, and spray paint reads “Send help.”
![Universal Orlando Shares Sneak Peek Inside Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store 17 A brick wall features a blue skull with lightning bolts above its eyes. Its open mouth reveals an "EXIT" sign above a dark doorway located where its teeth would be, reminiscent of the eerie designs found at Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store.](https://media.wdwnt.com/2024/08/UOR-USF-HHN-33-Tribute-Store-preview-video-21.jpg)
We leave through the mouth of a skull and head underneath the museum (which seems ill-advised, but like most urban explorers, we don’t seem too concerned about the risks).

Subtitles at the bottom read, "We're not far.](https://media.wdwnt.com/2024/08/UOR-USF-HHN-33-Tribute-Store-preview-video-26.jpg)
Graffiti depicts the head of a large bat-like creature reminiscent of Batilda.

Heading in further, we spot an abandoned subway train car before discovering the abandoned bat idol. It’s been used, whether intentionally or inadvertently, to summon a creature who terrorized and destroyed the city.
![Universal Orlando Shares Sneak Peek Inside Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store 23 A person holds a glowing red object in a dark setting, with the subtitle "what called her" displayed at the bottom, reminiscent of a scene straight out of Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store.](https://media.wdwnt.com/2024/08/UOR-USF-HHN-33-Tribute-Store-preview-video-28.jpg)
![Universal Orlando Shares Sneak Peek Inside Halloween Horror Nights 33 Tribute Store 24 A grotesque, monstrous creature with glowing red eyes and sharp teeth emerges from the darkness, surrounded by foliage. It seems ready to haunt your nightmares at Halloween Horror Nights 33, lurking within the eerie corridors of the tribute store.](https://media.wdwnt.com/2024/08/UOR-USF-HHN-33-Tribute-Store-preview-video-1.jpg)
We’ll encounter the creature itself before we leave.
