Every year it seems like retailers put up their Christmas decorations earlier and earlier. Well, now Halloween wants in on the pre-mature fun! Universal has announced its annual Halloween Horror Nights will kick off at the end of August, the earliest it ever has!
Building upon Universal Studios’ legacy of classic movie monsters, their parks launched Halloween Horror Nights in 1991. The event drops patrons into some of their favorite scary movies, and worst nightmares. Leading it to be considered the world’s premier Halloween event, year after year.
“This year, a chilling new collection of horrifying experiences await guests, including 10 all-new movie-quality haunted houses inspired by cinematic greats and eerie original stories created by the twisted minds of Universal’s Entertainment team, and five scare zones filled with hundreds of menacing creatures who will reign the streets of Universal Studios Florida,” Universal Orlando said a statement.
Past Themes
While 2024’s theme has yet to be announced. 2023 included “Stranger Things,” “The Exorcist: Believer,” “Chucky,” “The Last Of Us,” and Universal Monsters: Unmasked.
