Evil Dead Rise at Universal Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (2024)

FAQs

Is Halloween Horror Nights at Universal worth it? ›

Overall, the experience of Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights is worth it if you are truly interested in horror and meeting like-minded people.

Q: Does my daytime park admission allow me to stay for HHN? A. No, Halloween Horror Nights is a seperately ticketed event. However, we are offering a "Day/Night Combo" ticket that includes daytime admission to Universal Studios Hollywood PLUS same-day evening admission to the Halloween Horror Nights event.

Sold Out Halloween Horror Nights Tickets

Multi-night tickets went on sale on Thursday morning. By Thursday afternoon, the two highest ticket types — the Unlimited Frequent Fear Pass with Express and Frequent Fear Plus Pass with Express — were sold out. The Frequent Fear Pass with Express sold out soon after.

As such, HHN is legit scary. Inside all of the haunted houses, real people will jump at you, sneak up behind you and shadow you as you try to get from Point A to Point B. There will be scary sounds, special effects, wailing, screaming and general aural discomfort.

Can you be touched at Halloween Horror Nights? Universal's scareactors may jump out at you or get up close, but rest assured they can't touch you and vice versa. In fact, intentionally touching a scareactor can get you kicked out of the park.

Select daytime attractions are open during Halloween Horror Nights, including Jurassic World – The Ride, Revenge of the Mummy℠ – The Ride, Transformers™: The Ride-3D, and more.

Weekends are the busiest days to visit, specifically Saturday nights. The event is typically more crowded at the start and end of the season as people try to visit as soon as possible or for one last trip of the year.

Plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time. HHN Universal Express tickets can sell out scary-fast, so buy them well in advance.

Within the first hour of the event, wait times for both houses and rides start increasing. Visit all the Lower Lot mazes at once. We recommend saving them for the end of the night, once the park starts to empty out.

Wearing comfortable clothes is key for standing in long queues for the haunted houses. Shoes that can withstand walking 10 miles are also a necessity. It's rarely cold in Florida, but there have been a couple of times when I needed a jacket. Again, check the weather and be prepared!

Top 5 Tips for Surviving Halloween Horror Nights

Go with a tour or express. You can tour the houses with the lights on during the day and it can be a good way to familiarize yourself with them before going at night when they are at their spookiest. The Unmasking the Horrors tour can be purchased separately.

Event re-entry is allowed with a valid event ticket.

If you've never been to HHN but have been to Universal before, I guess it would be worth it for something different to do, but just know it gets hells busy and you're probably looking at 90+ minute wait times for each line.

Halloween Horror Nights 2023 was single handedly one of the most fun years we've experienced in a while. Yes, previous years were phenomenal, but this year had some extra added Halloween magic on its side. While not every single experience was perfect, the overwhelming sense of joy permeated through it all.

Halloween Horror Nights is a separate ticket from regular park admission. Universal Studios Hollywood also sells a Halloween Horror Nights Universal Express Pass (formerly called Front of Line Pass). The HHN Universal Express Pass is good for one-time Express access for each house and ride.

Wearing comfortable clothes is key for standing in long queues for the haunted houses. Shoes that can withstand walking 10 miles are also a necessity. It's rarely cold in Florida, but there have been a couple of times when I needed a jacket. Again, check the weather and be prepared!
