👻 Just like the undead, Halloween Horror Nights (affectionately known as HHN) is back!🧟♂️ Spooky season will descend upon Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort before you know it — and with it, a series of truly terrifying haunted houses, scare zones, shows, and of course, the Terror Tram. 🚂
Whether you are a devoted fan of horror or simply seeking some Halloween excitement; whether you prefer the traditional favorites or the latest scares; HHN is unquestionably the ultimate destination.. The annual event is always a frighteningly good time, and this year will be no exception! 😱🕸️
🎃 Universal Orlando Resort Announcements 🎃
The dates for this year's Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Orlando Resort have been officially revealed! This event has proven to be the world’s most popular Halloween event over the course of its 32-year history. This upcoming year will be the 33rd outing for the popular event, and with each passing year, the event expands its window of operations. This year, for the 2024 season, Halloween Horror Nights will contain the most event nights in the haunt’s history! And yes, it starts in August.
🧟♀️ Debuting in 1991, Halloween Horror Nights, known as ‘Fright Nights’ in its opening year, only had three event nights. This year, the event will see 48 terror tours on the town! Each year prior to this, we’ve seen the event inch closer and closer to the beginning of September, with last year opening on September 1st. This year, however, the seasonal Fall event stretches well into the summertime, officially opening on August 30, 2024, and ending on November 3, 2024. 🌌
With Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) being the world’s premier Halloween event, the popularity of the separately-ticketed spook has only grown more popular and become more crowded. However, instead of adding more capacity to the event through adding more houses, as some rumors had it last year, the company decided to add more capacity through event nights instead. This is what Universal had to say about this year’s lineup:
🗣️ Each fall, visitors from across the world confront their deepest fears at Halloween Horror Nights, renowned as the top Halloween event globally. This season, guests can anticipate a fresh array of terrifying encounters, such as 10 brand-new haunted houses of cinematic quality paying homage to film classics and original eerie tales crafted by Universal's Entertainment team, along with five scare zones teeming with numerous menacing creatures roaming the streets of Universal Studios Florida. Amidst the screams, attendees can take pleasure in a lively live performance, indulge in delectable food and drinks inspired by the event's themes, browse the newest merchandise at the elaborately themed Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store, and partake in some of Universal Studios Florida's most thrilling attractions.🎬🎃
While fans might have preferred to see 12 houses at HHN 33, Universal's decision to have fewer houses makes financial sense. Increasing capacity without additional investment is a strategic initial step in addressing crowd-related challenges. Universal Orlando has found success with a combination of 10 houses, 5 scare zones, at least one show, and various themed food, drink, and merchandise spots. 🎟️👻
🧟♀️ What's Coming to Halloween Horror Nights 2024 at Universal Studios Hollywood? 🧟♂️
A Quiet Place 🏠🔇
Want to live another day in this post-apocalyptic world? You’re going to have to keep your mouth shut. 🤫 In “A Quiet Place,” any sound you emit — screams, gasps, even a creak in the floorboard — can be your demise.
While the prequel film, “A Quiet Place: Day One” hits theaters on June 28, 2024, this house lives in the world of “A Quiet Place” (2018) and “A Quiet Place Part II” (2020). In this universe, Earth has been overtaken by horrifying, sightless creatures who find their prey with their exceptional hearing. The only way to survive is by staying completely silent. 🔕
In this HHN house, you, like the Abbott family (those films’ protagonists), will creep from the farmhouse to the woods to the foundry in complete quiet. That is, you’d better move in complete quiet. One slip-up and you’ll summon the terrifying creatures, who will silence you for good. 👂🦇
This house integrates American Sign Language (ASL) into the storyline of both “A Quiet Place” movies, enhancing the visitor experience. It will be the first HHN house to feature ASL, creating a unique and anticipated attraction. 🙌👁️🗨️
