I love it, it gives chills vibes and fun. Definitely worth it getting express because you won't have a very fun time without express. read more

Halloween Horror Nights - Haunted Houses Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have not been to Universal Horror Nights in 6 years and had been dying to go back. After a couple of years of convincing my easily-spooked, scary boyfriend, he finally agreed. I was also able to convince his sister and her family to join us. We decided to make a full day of it and bought Universal Studios access starting at 2 p.m. So glad we did because it was crowded. We managed to get on several rides before horror nights began and a few during the evening . We got on Transformers, Mario Kart World, The Simpsons Ride, The Mummy, and Flight of the Hippogriff. The longest we stayed in line was probably 35 to 45 mins. Around 5 p.m., we started the mazes and actually got through all of them (Terrifier, Poltergeist (maybe my favorite), Fallout, Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America, Terror Tram: Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse, Jason Universe, The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks (really liked this one too), Scarecrow: Music by Slash, Five Nights at Freddy's) by the end of the night. It was super fun, but the crowds were intense. Jason's maze was listed as a one-hour wait, but it ended up being over two hours. It got so bad that several people in line passed out, and medical staff had to come help. Standing in line for that long really killed my mood. My legs and feet hurt. To make matters worse, once inside the maze, it was so packed that the jump scares often happened to the group ahead of us, not us. But it was fun to see my boyfriend hide behind me scared lol. Overall, it was still a fun night and worth the trip. Going as a group made the real difference because we laughed and had fun together. I would return, but next time, I won't stress about doing every maze. I'm not standing in line for two hours again. The Universal Studios app really helped with picking mazes that had the shortest lines first. read more

Halloween Horror Nights is an annual event for me. I anticipate for the day tickets go on sale. For me it's a VIP Pass that includes a cut the Front of line access. One of the best Halloween experiences I've ever had. Ok, so upon arriving you'll come into the park and immediately come across a wall of noise with booming fire balls and lights flashing on and off. The chainsaw people are terrifying as they chase you around the area. So you've made it in and 3 choices must be made immediately. You need to make one asap and that's going to lower lot or explore upper lot or grab the TERROR TRAM to be transported to a land of zombies, Bates Motel , psycho house and awesome airplane crash site with bodies everywhere... Me , I go directly to lower lot for those houses and rides. The Mummy ride is my favorite & always thrilling for it goes forward & backwards with blazing fast speed... Yes, I cut the line many times for this ride since I take a ride 4 or 5 times. After completing houses & rides I venture back to the escalators for the long ride to the top. Terror Tram is my next stop and then back to THE SIMPSON'S ride. Ok somewhere I'll fill up on refreshments and a bag of blood. Ok it's not really blood but an IV Bag drink that's red. Once finished I'm ready to complete the rest of my Horror Nights journey. Now my all time favorite haunted house was THE ROB ZOMBIE 3D house about 10 years ago. FLIPPING AWESOME ! Ok by midnight I'm exhausted and have well over 10,000 steps in so I'm walking back to Universal Hilton and crash! It's up to you to accept the challenge of coming but it's so worth it! read more

We skipped Universal Halloween Horror Nights last year, and decided to return this year. We went on the Wednesday night before Halloween, and surprisingly this night was priced lower than all other nights during that week. The park didn't get really crowded until after 9pm. It is expensive, but I would highly recommend purchasing the express pass, otherwise a large part of your evening will be spent standing in lines. The express lines actually seemed shorter than usual this year. We went through all of the mazes twice and a few of them three times. Rides and the Terror Tram were also a very short wait, and you also get priority seating for shows. The early entry pass is also a good deal for only $15 to get a jump on the masses. All of the maze builds, décor, music and sound effects, smells, scare actors with great makeup and not just masks, great costumes, etc were all way better than other similar events. You expect a lot from a movie studio, and they definitely delivered in my opinion. Mazes we loved: Terrifier - Art the Clown sure is a creepy character, and all the Arts in the maze mimicked his mannerisms perfectly. There were a lot of great jump scares, and you definitely get wet going through this maze. The maze had scenes from all three movies, and it seemed like a longer maze. The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks - We weren't familiar with the background of this maze, but my girlfriend probably screamed more in this maze than any of the others. Jason Universe - Great scenes from many of the Halloween movies. Second most screams from my girlfriend. Scarecrow - Lots of jump scares from monsters that didn't look like live actors, some very dark areas, it seemed like a longer maze. Monstrous 3: The Ghosts of Latin America - Jump scares from several monsters that didn't look like live actors, and good number of jump scares overall, I got a good blast of unexpected water. Those big tooth monsters are creepy! Mazes that were good, but not great: Poltergeist - We went through this maze early, and maybe it wasn't fully staffed yet, but there were very few scare actors. It seemed like more of a "check out the cool Poltergeist set" walk-thru. The second time through, towards the end where all the open caskets are popping out of the ground, they were all filled with live actors and got us a bunch of times. Five Nights at Freddy's - Obviously you expect a lot of animatronics based on the movie, and that was the case. Many of the non-animal scare actors were plain clothes or minimal make up and costume, and it just took down the overall scare factor a lot. There was a great pizza aroma when walking through the kitchen early on. Good maze and represents the movie well, but not great for scares. Fallout - I never saw the movie, so maybe I would have liked it better if I did. It had lots of plain character non-monster jump scares at the beginning, and it seemed like a pretty short maze. This year, the Terror Tram drops you off for a walk-thru of a scare zone titled "Enter the Blumhouse". It has scare actors dressed up as characters from movies such as M3gan, The Purge, The Black Phone, and a few others. This scare zone was good, as were all of the other scare zones in the park. I admire the stamina of some of those scare actors walking around on stilts all night. We also saw a show, The Purge: Dangerous Waters. The show was very entertaining and included pyrotechnics, fire, lasers, stunts, and a little blood and guts. We did get a few cocktails during the night from Isla Nu-Bar on the lower lot and Chucky's Dive Bar on the upper lot. I commend Universal for having bartenders make drinks to order instead of using gross pre-mixed drinks that some other parks use. The drinks were good, and prices were not inflated for an event like this which would have been easy for them to do. We had a great time, and will look forward to returning next year. read more

Wow second year with my son and it was great. We got to do every single maze but no rides. ( we didn't have time) But it was great in our opinion.... Be ready to wait up 2 hrs for Terrifier. If you're able to get a fast pass, I would highly recommend it or try to get in earlier. I'm not sure how much that is. I hear on social media that it helps.. We had fun can't wait for next year! read more

As a first timer, I really thought I would be more impressed with Horror Nights than I was. Like it was cool, but compared to Knott's Scary Farm it was very mid. I thought the park itself would be decorated more and found the mazes to be kind of lackluster. Universal is also missing out on a huge opportunity not doing a Harry Potter maze. The lines for the mazes were absolutely insane. We were able to make it through only 4 of the 8 mazes :( I wills say the Hello Kitty Chucky collab is super cool though! We got the light up popcorn bucket and tried the themed ice cream which was delicious. We also bought a couple of the collab items from the gift shop. The Art the clown actors all did a wonderful job and it was fun seeing them scare people throughout the park. We also tried Chucky's dive bar. I liked my drink but they need bigger straws to suck the popping boba up. Overall I had fun, but after trying it out, I wouldn't necessarily spend money on it in the future. read more

2025 WASN'T GREAT for Universal Horror Nights. Guests were CATTLE... constantly herded in, by employees who were told to continuously wave their flashlights at breakneck speed, never pausing to say, "That's enough guests inside that haunted house for now." Nope! It was hard to be scared, b/c there were traffic jams inside the way-too-packed-with-customers haunted house. The scariest thing was the fire hazard of it all. The costumed actors, while wearing top notch makeup and costumes, were awkwardly waiting for a new batch to come thru. Or painfully aware that the person en route, had already seen them hiding, b/c of the never-ending line of cattle. Another dreadful moment was signs saying "THIS WAY TO HAUNTED HOUSE", followed by a 15 minute walk, uphill, to actually get there. My friend, with a bad back, was out of commission for a while after that literal hike through the hills of Studio City. This year, there were also multiple haunted houses, that were neat homages to films and tv shows, but were a legit 0.5 / 10 on the fear factor list. The Poltergeist one, and FALLOUT houses, to be exact. Fall-Out is a fun Amazon Prime show, but NOT scary. And the Haunted House was ALL OUT OF IDEAS on how to make it scary. The Poltergeist house was very cool, with some neat remakes of infamous moments in the film. But absolutely nothing to be startled by. I didn't appreciate feeling like cattle, in a fire hazard maze, so this will likely be the last time I ever make it out to Universal Studios. read more

This is our fourth year in a row going. Me and my kids always have a fun time! I've done regular admission once. But I've been doing the EXPRESS pass every year and it's so worth of money. We did all 8 haunted houses The terror tram and a few rides before midnight. Lots of walking. The food is pricey, and so are the drinks, but it's worth it for a fun night! Terrifier was my favorite but so was Jason. Can't wait to go back next year! read more

HHN was worth the money in 2025. Not quite as good as 2024 however so I took one star off for not being as unique as in prior years. I purchased the Express Pass. I got through all the mazes and there was virtually no waits. The mazes This years were : *TERRIFIER * JASON Universe *FALLOUT * POLTERGEIST *SCARECROWS * MONSTROUS 3 *FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S *WWE HORRORS OF THE WYATT SICKS Fallout was really for fans and more of a walk thru. I'm a fan so I loved it. Could've offered more merch. Scarecrows was pretty cool but again, walk thru. Slash always does pretty good music for these types of mazes. Jason was more of a haunted house maze. On par for scare factor and Halloween time. Poltergeist was half of a haunted house , half walk thru. Wyatt Sicks was pretty cool for a walk thru haunted house. I liked the music , colors were really on point. Oddly enough I would say this was my favorite. Five nights at Freddy's, fun for fans but no intense scare factor. Monstrous 3 was a haunted house , but better last year. Lastly, TERRIFIER. The hype to scare the crap out of you piqued everyone's vulnerabilities and curiosity about the movies, character, and how this haunted house would play out. I was scared of course and this house was pure gore. I would say it was a good maze for Halloween Horror Nights. The food offerings were great. All fallout food was good. Freddy's food was good. Pizza was good for sure. Mario land was insanely empty and I was able to buy my power band and play all the interactive games. The ride was fun too. The head seat was so clunky though. Overall I recommend doing this event once or twice every few years for spooky season. read more

Super fun night with friends. I was surprised how busy it was on a Sunday night. Our group had VIP (express) passes so it wasn't too long. I would suggest good walking shoes and Advil because there are a lot of hills and you'll be walking A LOT! Can't wait until next year! :) read more

Another successful HHN for the books! I was excited for the new mazes this year especially the Terrifier, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Fallout. I got the early entry after 2pm pass with express. This year was more crowded than usual but thankfully we were able to finish every maze. This pass also offers early access to 4 out of the 8 mazes. They opened the mazes for us at 5:30pm instead of 7pm. Terrifier had the longest line but even then we only waited about 30 minutes. Most of the mazes we were able to walk straight in without waiting very long. read more

I have to say this year's experience is awesome!! Everything went smoothly, no chaos. My hubby and I enjoyed the experience and 95% of the wait times were accurate. Seriously I love how Universal Studios Hollywood takes care of their AP Platinum holders. Even though now, we have to pay for early access, not like the good olé days. But the fact we can still attend, makes me happy that Universal Studios Hollywood is even allowing this...not like ahem...certain theme park that makes their AP pay. This year, all the scare actors behaved...no touching. It was all great! Oh! I also love how they have photos ops here too! With Megan and elsewhere with Norman Bates, by the motel. Our favorite mazes are Terrifier, Five Nights at Freddy's, Fallout and WWE. read more

Halloween Horror Nights has always been a white whale for us for horror events. We've always wanted to go but never got the chance due to time or pricing. This year, my wife and I bit the bullet and decided to go for it with some friends who had already attended previous years. Pricing breakdown: (1) General Admission - $77 per person for entry at 7PM. Does not include early access and does not include access to Super Nintendo World. (2) After 2PM Day/Night - $117 per person for entry to the park at 2PM. Includes early access to select haunted houses at 5:30PM and includes access to Super Nintendo World from 7PM-10PM. (3) After 2PM Day/Night Express - $319 per person for entry to the park at 2PM. Includes everything with the regular After 2PM Day/Night ticket plus one time express access to each haunted house, ride, and attraction. (4) Express - $259 per person for entry at 7PM. Does not include early access. Includes one time express access to each haunted house, ride, and attraction. Includes access to Super Nintendo World from 7PM-10PM. (5) Express Unlimited - $309 per person for entry at 7PM. Same as Express but unlimited express access to everything. (6) R.I.P. Tour - $470 per person for entry at 7PM. Does not include early access. Includes a walking tour guide for the entire event, reserved VIP seating at live shows, exclusive backlot Halloween experience with VIP trolley, gourmet dinner in private VIP dining room, special photo-ops, complimentary valet parking for one car, Express Unlimited access to everything, and access to Super Nintendo World from 7PM-10PM. We opted for the regular After 2PM Day/Night tickets. After entering the park at 2PM, we got something to eat and rode the Simpsons ride. At 4:30PM we walked to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and waiting in line for the Terrifier haunted house. Already a large group of people waiting as this seems to be the most popular haunted house this year. The line moved early and we walked all the way down to wait in front of the house. It opened at 5PM instead of 5:30PM so we got to breeze right through! Afterwards, we hit the Poltergeist house since it's right next to Terrifier. We waited in line for like 5 minutes then entered the house. By 5:30PM we had already did 2 houses - quite a feat from what we've been told! We walked to Jurassic World and got in line for the Jason Universe house, where the wait was short and sweet. We stayed in Jurassic World and got in line for The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks house. This one had a bit of a wait since it wasn't open yet, but once it was we strolled right through. We hit up Super Nintendo World and rode the Mario Kart ride. As we were leaving the Lower Lot, we saw that the line for the Jason Universe house was jam-packed! Back to the Upper Lot, we met up with some other friends in Minion Land to wait in line for the Monstruous 3: The Ghosts of Latin America house. This was probably the longest line we waited in. We rode the Terror Tram, expecting a nice relaxing time to take a load off our boots - nope! You ride the tram to the backlot then you're on your feet again, walking through various horror sections like The Black Phone and The Purge. There's a couple of photo-ops in front of the Hollywood sign with M3GAN and the Psycho house with Norman Bates if you want to stop and wait in line. Afterwards, the tram picks you up and drops you off back uphill. Back to Minion Land, we hit up the Fallout house right next to Monstruous 3. We caught the 11:15PM showing of The Purge: Dangerous Waters at Waterworld. After buying donuts and merch, we finally called it a day not long after midnight. We loved our experience and would love to come back next year! Universal's HHN has a reputation for one of the best Halloween events for good reason. Since it's a movie studio, they really do go all out for everything (they spare no expense!). All the haunted houses had great animatronics and effects, not to mention the scare actors earn their paychecks! Your experience will depend on how much you're willing to spend. Tickets costs more on Fridays and Saturdays. Have a game plan before you go for what you want to do. I think the After 2PM Day/Night tickets have the best value as you get to enjoy the park during the day and start lining up early if there's a particular house you wanted to do. We were able to do 6/8 houses, the tram, enjoy 2 rides and a show without paying extra for Express. There's an app you can download to see wait times for the haunted houses and attractions, but they also have signs throughout the park with the same information that are regularly updated. We saw the Terrifier and Five Nights at Freddy's line queues reach 2 hours! Talk about a scary time! Wear comfortable shoes because you're going to be on your feet the majority of the time! read more

Haven't been to HHN in a while and, with Halloween being on a Friday, Jim G. figured this would be a good plan. Knowing our lack of patience for lines, he bought a 2pm entry ticket with Universal Express pass. Getting in at 2 allowed us to enjoy some of the rides in the park without taking away from the scary stuff and the express pass allowed us to leisurely sit and have a drink or snack when we wanted to, since we never had to wait more than ~25 minutes for anything all night. While there on a Friday, we went on Mario Kart Adventure twice, both of the Harry Potter rides, the Mummy, sat and enjoyed some rest/snacks/drinks at 4 different spots throughout the afternoon/evening, watched the Purge water show, walked through all the scare zones at least once, and went into every haunted house. We finished all this by around 10:00/10:30, with the park remaining open until 2am. Yes, it costs more, but it's totally worth it. read more

2nd year attending. It was a lot of fun. Some of the haunts were kinda weak though. Scare doesn't always mean jump scares or rawr at you. Monstrous is a great example of timed scares and frights. Wwe and fallout were not. read more

R. I. P. Is the way to go to Halloween Horror Nights. Saved us over 10 hours waiting in line. We got to visit all of the houses and mazes. Plus, we were able to ride the mummy, Mario ride, and transformers (with express access with our R. I. P. Access). I love the R. I. P. dinner experience with a ton of food and bar. We also had private access to another break room for drinks for R. I. P. Guests Only. A night full of entertainment and excitement. I did get some loaded Tostitos with birria in the Mexican heritage area where again I was able to go to the R. I. P. Line for quick ordering. I 100% recommend folks going R. I. P. Style to HHN. I've been doing it now for 10 years. Best experience ever! read more

I love the haunted mazes and the awesome actors they hire who give it their all. The decor, ambiance, music, and general energy of the night is so much fun. That being said, there was a moment as my friend and I waited in line for an hour with teens on either side that we had our "We're too old for this sh*$" moment. Not the horror, we were totally signed up for that, but the long waits. There is a moment in your life when you want to upgrade that pass because it is rough those waits. However, if you can handle those waits, or you have the extra dough for a skip the line pass, go for it. Universal knows movies which means they know how to build out a set and design the look and lighting with maximum effectiveness. This is when we should take advantage of a town with a film industry background. read more

Went last night with the Express Pass. Got in line by 5:30, it was already very crowded. But entered the park by 6:30. Went down to Lower Lots and walked right on to all 4 mazes. The Lower Lots mazes + a 30 minute dinner break took 1 hour to complete. Went back up to do the tram and over to Terrifier/Poltergeist which was past HP World. Terrifier was the longest wait for the night, 10 minutes. By 9pm, the normal lines were 90 minutes average with 180 at its peak. We finished the last 2 mazes (Monstrous + Fallout) by 10pm. Had some down time finally so relaxed and waited for the Purge show. Arrived 30 mins before the 11:15 show and was first in express line. FYI, at 12am regular lines were still 60 mins. Overall, totally got my money's worth with express. Would get even more money's worth to pay the $15 for early entry. Highly recommend! read more

Update from my last post 2 weeks ago: I finally got to complete 7/8 houses this year (we didn't care much about Scarecrow if we were being honest) and as my first time ever attending Halloween Horror Nights, I CAN'T WAIT to attend next year's (and the year after that, etc.) I already miss it already! It was such a fun experience overall and I can definitely understand why it holds the title of being the scariest compared to Six Flag's Fright Fest or Knotts Scary Farm. During my second visit, I went with a whole new group of people but still got the discounted, general student pass ($67). Since I had already checked off 5/8 houses the last time and the friends who I was with didn't really care much on what we do, we decided to check off +2 more and go to wherever our feet took us. At the end of the night (around 12:30AM) we ended up hitting 4 houses (FNAF again, Jason, Terrifier, and the Blumhouse maze), 2 rides (Transformers and the Simpsons), the Chainsaw Man show and also got eat for a little bit. Surprisingly, there were less people this time around despite still going on a Thursday, but it's all about luck, I guess. As a scaredy cat (like cannot do horror movies alone) they weren't as bad as I expected them to be honestly, and I think that's primarily because I was more afraid that would chase you around nonstop or have the ability to touch you in which they don't. The smell in Wyatts and Terrifier still hit like a brick though. This season, I think my house ranking would have to be: Wyatt Terrifier Monstrous Blumhouse [Terror Team] Poltergeist Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) Fallout And for shows, I think I'd recommend seeing The Purge water show more than Chainsaw Man. read more

Universal studios did an amazing job creating and curating this scare experience. There was so much attention to detail with all the houses and the shows. The scare actors did an amazing job the whole night and staff made sure all guests were safe and satisfied. My favorite is the terror tram where they transform the usual tour into a themed horror movies. This years theme was Blumhouse and they portrayed all the Blumhouse horror movies that have been out, such as Megan, The Purge, and Happy Death Day. I also love The Purge water show, full of fire, lights, and water skiing and diving. Lines can be very long and it got very crowded at the end of the night so be prepared to wait! It's almost not worth it without the express line option. read more

Located at Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles. This is a special Halloween event that they do for several days every year up till Halloween time. This is my very first time so I know I missed a lot of things especially the foods. They have 8 mazes we did 6 out of the eight. My top was 1) Terrifier followed by 2) Scarecrow w/music from Slash 3) Jason Universe 4) Five Nights At Freddy's 5) Poltergeist and 6) WWE Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks we didn't do Monsterous or Fallout. We did the Terror Tram that was fun lots of walking. We ended watching the Purge show at Waterworld. Along the main walkways they have scare characters this theme were clowns so lots of clowns and Art the clown from Terrifier. They close the park at 6pm on the days of this event. They start off with a scare a mony and end with chainsaw chase out. Overall I had a fun time at this event the downside lots of walking and standing but I did enjoy this event. read more

I will say that not only did I enjoy HHN this year I was surprised. This time of year is my favorite. I love to watch horror movies and so events like this are perfect for me. Going into the park I didn't have high hopes for Latin American Monsters but it was really well done. Of course I loved Ghostbusters, The Quiet Place and the Tram even though part of it just gave me US vibes from a few years ago. For Insidious I enjoyed that one too but felt like there were a few dead spots where scare actors would have been amazing. All in all the scare actors did a great job and the Make Up people behind the debes were a big part of that. I am looking forward to next year to see what is coming next! Ps still sad that I missed the ghostbusters s'more. read more

Its that time of the season again and another year has been checked off where we attend HHN! The perfect kick off to Fall even though its hot as heck in SoCal. We've been getting the express pass for a few years now because prior to express we would wait in line forever and that blows, you spend your night just waiting in line, so definitely think of buying the express. Houses change every year and this year it was ok, felt like houses weren't as scary, or maybe I've built my tolerance for it. Overall its always a fun time though, love being part of the spooky season. read more

Horror Nights has really gone downhill. Save yourself the headache and the money. The crowds are absolutely overwhelming -- it feels like the entire city decided to show up at once. Wait times? Whatever the sign says, multiply it by three and add a side of regret. The staff? Completely checked out. After being herded like cattle in the lower lot with zero communication and no way to move, we were done. Their solution: "Take it up with Guest Services." Guest Services' solution: "We'll write it down." Great -- can't wait to see that note change the world. We didn't get on a single ride or into a single haunted house. After an hour and a half of standing shoulder-to-shoulder, we tapped out. The only way to make this remotely tolerable is to buy the express pass -- but prepare to sell a kidney first. Universal is clearly overselling tickets and underdelivering on experience. Everyone around us was complaining, and honestly, it was the most unified the crowd had been all night. Summary: Tickets - $78 Gas - $50 Parking - $60 Standing in line to go nowhere - priceless Thank you, Universal, for the "memories." What a joke. read more

First time at Halloween horror nights and I'm proud to say that I survived. It is by far the scariest compared to other events and the mazes/effects are so real! I could barely keep my eyes open in Insidious and chainsaws massacre maze, it was like being immersed in the movie. I was blown away from the work that had gone into all the decorations and the characters acting. Purchasing an express add on pass would be best, as this event is popular and lines can be long. I went through all eight mazes, got onto the tram, and saw two shows with the express pass. I highly recommend this event and I can't wait until next year. read more

Mazes were a lot better than other places I've been to. They're actually long and don't end in a minute. It actually feels like you spend a decent amount of time in there. I feel like they definitely put thought in the mazes. I actually got scared. The ONLY thing is that the lines are pretty LONG. So yes, it's expected to wait Like an 1hr 20 or more per maze. Or you can get the express pass too! We went on some rides as well that were Open which was nice because everyone is so busy in the mazes that some rides have short wait times! BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES!! Expect a lot of walking and standing. read more

The haunted house were good with great FX makeup and costumes. Each Hh had a theme. We didn't get to do them all because our feet were hurting. We were there from 2pm to 1:00 am! I recommend completing all the upper lot ones first the. Heading down the 4 escalators to the lower lot. We tried to do most of the Haunted houses. We went to a Toxic one, Van Helsing, Ghost Busters, Insidious, The Weekend, Blood line, Monsterous, and missed the Quiet Place and another. We also did most of the rides but the Mummy. They have several screen simulation rides. The Simpson one always gets me dizzy. Drinks at the Weekend bar were kinda soft but good at about $20 each. It's a bar perched up on top on the lower level. Cool vibe playing his songs. His haunted house was a vibe too! I really enjoyed myself. read more

Personally, my experience here was horrible. I didn't actually want to go to horror nights but my friend had already purchased me a ticket. If you like scary stuff I 100% recommend because it is SOO SCARY. No, I am not necessarily complaining because I did know it would be scary, but my friend started crying extremely hard and screaming for her life even at the sound of a scare actor and they continued to put chainsaws into her face and get very close when we please asked them to scare someone else. We were leaving the park at that time and they continued to follow only us and chase us till we got to the no scare zones. I loved the FNAF house even though the line was crazy, most of the park rides are still open during hhn and the lines are shorter for those. The tram was what really horrified us and made us leave. read more

Drinks were 19 bucks a piece and not very good Over crowded. We only got to go I. One house because of the wait. We didn't want to spend another chunk of change for express pass. read more

The lines here are getting very long! Time consuming, you know? They should really cut off a certain amount of people who get tickets, but you know... money - so they wont' do that. Walking to the lower lots was difficult with the amount of people here. The waits were well over an hour and a half for some of the attractions read more

This was mine and my husband's third time attending Horror Nights. This year was the first time we got early access and express. YES, both are definitely worth it! The staff started letting early access guests in a little after 5 p.m., and yes, there were a lot of us but nothing compared to general admission. And express, front of the line is worth every penny. When there was a wait in the express line, I don't think we waited longer than 15 minutes. We were also able to use our express front of the line on the regular rides at Universal Studios such as The Mummy, Transformers, and Simpsons. I loved all the mazes, I loved the actors and the displays. I loved the creativity! The makeup looked so good! There were some mazes close together, but of course, others were scattered, so you had to walk. I took my travel bottle of tylenol and I was great from 12 pm Friday to 2 am Saturday. The show with Chucky was awesome only because I love Chucky. The voice almost came close to Brad's, I liked it! My favorite was Insidious. I did enjoy the weekend, maybe because they played his songs over and over. So much food and drinks and sweets! The corndog i bought on the lower level close to the escalators was bomb! We do plan to go again, but in about 3 to 4 years! read more

Halloween Horror Nights is not for the faint of heart. Especially if you don't like waiting over an hour for a maze. Once you finally make it in, the mazes are actually fun, very detailed to the theme. Great experience the times I've visited. I would suggest get there early. Some say to invest in the express pass for a little extra so you don't have to wait as long. It's up to you. You can make all the mazes but you'll be there till 2:00am when it closes. That's when the wait times start shortening. Don't forget about the rides too. A lot of other activities to check out if you're not into the mazes. If you're into Halloween this is the place for you. Don't be scared to experience Halloween Horror Nights at least once. read more

I've attended all of the other theme parks scary events. I was underwhelmed for the cost of this one compared to the rest. Their mazes were done very well with all of the displays and decorations. The scarers were sparse and they didn't really chase after you or scare you. They will stop for photos. I went early with my friend and grabbed dinner at a Mexican spot and a margarita. The food was good, costly but expected for the venue. The margarita had a ton of sugar but was yummy. We don't go on any rides, just went through the mazes (splurged on the tickets to get front row without waiting) We were done seeing everything within a couple hours and wandered around a bit. My friend got a caricature done and bought a jacket. Jorge rte pricey, but again expected. I don't think this one has the best set up for the maxes, really long wait for everyone else. Ended up at bubba Jump shrimp after! read more

2023 Halloween Horror Review: This year the houses are lame, and this is probably the worst Halloween Horror that I've seen. It's like a bunch of 12 year olds designed it this year. Like what's up? Terror Tram Exterminatorz: 1/5 Super lame amd not funny or scary. Lots of gaps in between walking and the roaches/ant faced bugs with weapons dressed in exterminator costumes which I guess is supposed to be funny is lame. The mazes look like my neighbor made them with Walmart/Target bought spiders and spiderwebs and decorations. Evil Dead: 5/5 Looks like the movie down to the elevator with the hanging body trapped in it. The apartment looks amazing with the recording studio materials and even the bathroom scene. Great jump scares and great job ending with the garage like the movie. Last of Us: 2/5 So not scary and boring. Following the two characters through FEDRA underground and not much actors or props. Like they ran out of people or something. Stranger Things: 3/5 They need better filled sets and more actors. Needs to be scarier. Starting with the house then lame forest to the even lamer facility with rainbow colors like she was in some kind of care bear movie ending with the upside-down which was just a dark house with vines. Needs more scares and more props. Pro tip: If you're looking for Scoops Ahoy they do have softserve and a booth so you can get your softseve for around $14. Holidayz in Hell: 3.5/5 Good try but way too funny instead of scary. Like the martini glass with the skeleton in it for New Years Eve. Or the 4th of July fireworks where they have blown up parts. Goofy Valentines and St. Patrick's day leprechauns. I did a double take at the end with the killer Santa Claus because I thought he was trying to beat me with a candy cane. Turns out it's a candy cane ax?!? Chucky: 5/5 Super funny and well done. They finally got Chucky to the right size! Now with animatronic Chucky and it looks just the series with the kill count. Good funny scares and unpredictable. My favorite house. Exorcist: 4/5 Good job but I'm confused about the missing girls and the room to the chair with Exorcist again and again seems redundant. They need to switch it up but overall it's well done, and the music is creepy. Monsters Unmasked: 3/5 Dr. JEKYLL and Mr. Hyde and a fake werewolf. Oh, and the Invisble Man, not very scary and kind of weird. 3 stars for the costumes and rooms. Monstrous Latin America: 5/5 This was great with weird monsters and some weird legend. Cool how they have the Grim Reaper and how it circles back to him at the end digging your grave. Not worth the money or the fast pass (though you'll need the fast pass for these long lines). They need to step up the Horror here instead of making it goofy and cheesy. read more

It's been a good 10 years since I last visited HHN, and here are some tips to share this time around: - Definitely get the Early Access (starts at 5:30p) and Express Pass if you value your time. We finished all 8 haunted houses, rode on the Terror Tram, and watched The Purge show by 10:30pm - We bought the Universal AP this year for the 1st time (for Nintendo World), hence we were able to get in even earlier and start lining up at the 1st haunted house before 5:30p. - Since we went in during "regular' hours with AP, security did tell us to finish up our small snack and water before the event started. Of course they cannot really enforce that, so I was able to refill my water throughout the night. I am not sure if they make you toss the food/water if you come later. - Wear very comfy shoes, the walk to Chucky's house is the longest walk and that will be quite scary for your feet. The terror tram also has a lot of walking, but you are able to walk through the NOPE set this year. - each haunted house is super crowded and crazy loud. I would suggest wearing a surgical mask cuz we are still in Covid world. - we were not able to get any special theme food or drinks because all the lines were just way too long. - skip the Blumhouse if you don't have time. It's just 5 dancing Megans. Happy Haunt! read more

Crowded af Not worth it and not scary because it was very crowded everywhere and expensive af read more

This is our seventh time purchasing the VIP front-of-the-line pass at Universal Studios Horror Nights, and it has always been well worth it. We arrived around 7:30 PM and managed to complete all the mazes and rides by 12:30 AM. We even had time to snack and enjoy some beers in between the attractions. This year, the VIP experience included access to Super Mario World, which was exciting since it was my first time visiting. I understand that not everyone can spend over $200 on a ticket, but if you have the opportunity and want to avoid waiting in line for two hours for a two-minute maze, I highly recommend spending a little extra. read more
