Universal Orlando Resort Celebrates 35 Years of Pure Fear With Halloween Horror Nights 35 – Running Select Nights August 28 Through November 1

Universal Orlando Resort commemorates its longstanding legacy of horror as Halloween Horror Nights – the World’s Premier Halloween Event – returns for its milestone 35th year for 48 select nights from August 28 through November 1. Guests can now purchase select tickets and upgrades for what will be Universal Orlando’s most expansive Halloween Horror Nights event ever – featuring 10 all-new haunted houses, outrageous entertainment, terrifying scare zones and street experiences – and a few haunting surprises.

With event tickets now on sale, it is the perfect time for guests to plan the fall vacation of their "screams" to enjoy Halloween Horror Nights and all that Universal Orlando Resort has to offer. With four amazing theme parks that boast the most innovative attractions ever created, nonstop entertainment, the wildly popular Halloween Horror Nights event plus exciting seasonal experiences across the resort, Universal Orlando is the “must-visit” vacation destination this fall. 

This year’s Halloween Horror Nights will transform Universal Studios Florida into the “Infernal Carnival of Nightmares,” where guests will brave an onslaught of horrifying experiences inspired by the event’s legacy, haunting original stories and some of the most popular names in horror today. And the ringmasters behind all the scares will be legendary Halloween Horror Nights icons, Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow, who are joining forces for the first time ever to unleash their reign of terror throughout the event and in their all-new haunted house, “Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control.”

And when guests need a break from the screams, they can enjoy sinfully delicious food and beverage, shop the latest “must-have” Halloween Horror Nights merchandise in highly themed retail locations, and experience some of Universal Studios Florida’s most thrilling attractions.
