If you’re planning an Orlando getaway this fall and love the thrill of a good scare, Halloween Horror Nights 34 is calling your name. Running from August 29 through November 2, 2025, this spine-tingling, after-hours event at Universal Studios Florida transforms the park into a terrifying, immersive experience—far from your usual family night out.
Why it’s not just for scream-seekers: This year’s HHN brings a jaw-dropping lineup of 10 new haunted houses, spine-chilling scare zones, live street entertainment, themed food, exclusive merch, and more—all under the cloak of night when the park closes to regular day-guests.
Haunted Houses to Haunt Your Dreams:
From the eerie artistry of El Artista: A Spanish Haunting to the dread-filled halls of Five Nights at Freddy’s, and the gory intensity of Terrifier, there’s terror for every type of horror fan. New additions like Jason Universe plunge you into a summer camp turned nightmare, while WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks offers a surreal tribute to the late Bray Wyatt, complete with distorted funhouse imagery and signature “Fiend” moments.
Other hauntingly creative experiences include Dolls: Let’s Play Dead, Grave of Flesh, Gálkn: Monsters of the North, Hatchet and Chains: Demon Bounty Hunters, and Fallout—themed to the treacherous world of the hit show.
Scare Zones, Street Thrills & Extra Frights:
Step into Origins of Horror, a vine-choked conservatory turning from elegant to decayed right before your eyes. Then make your way through other zones like Masquerade: Dance with Death, The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane, and Mutations: Toxic Twenties, where radioactive chaos reigns. Don’t miss street encounters like Mel’s Die-In Zombies and Club Horror, plus shows with macabre flair like Haunt-O-Phonic: A Ghoulish Journey and Nightmare Fuel: Circus of Decay.
Special Access to Fear (Early Entry & Scream Night):
Want ahead-of-the-crowd access? Premium Scream Night on August 28 gives guests early entry, shorter lines, all-you-can-eat food options, and even the freedom to wear costumes (minus masks).
Planning Tips for Families (and Brave Souls):
- Buy tickets early—popular dates sell out fast.
- Consider Express Pass or RIP Tours to race through more houses with less queue time.
- Check ride availability —some daytime attractions remain open during HHN like Revenge of the Mummy and MEN IN BLACK: Alien Attack.
- Note the tone —this event is intense and not recommended for younger children.
With its bold mix of creative storytelling, immersive sets, and fan-favorite horror franchises, Halloween Horror Nights 34 delivers a night of thrills and chills you won’t forget—if you dare to enter.
