Admit it, you know who you are.

You look forward to getting scared silly at Universal Studio Orlando’s HHN every year, probably starting as you walk out of the park after your last house the year prior.

You are among like-minded fans here. Pull up a chair, take a deep breath and relax if only for a bit.

HNN’s scares are designed to make us feel good. The exact opposite of what we are globally currently tackling, that which is sorely sapping our collective energy and souls. This, too, will pass.

Planning for Orlando’s annual HHN can be therapeutic in the sense that it makes you feel good. It’s okay to continue having d̶a̶y̶d̶r̶e̶a̶m̶s̶nightmares about HHN. There are proven psychological benefits of experiencing safe and anticipated fears.

Margee Kerr, a sociologist at the University of Pittsburgh studies fear. Talk about a dream job! She has discovered that once you are out of a scary situation, especially one that was never really a threat to begin with; feel-good endorphins course through your body. She describes it as: “...a reprioritizing of energy, of focus into the body. You’re grounded, not caught up in thinking...”

Whether you plan on enjoying HHN or just riding a rollercoaster this fall, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride here. Don’t think about anything else...not your job, bills, food or whatever you are binge watching. While you are here, escape.

If you are asking yourself “What exactly is Halloween Horror Nights?”



HHN bears NO resemblance as to theme or tone vs WDW’s MNSSHP, aside from: being held during the haunting season, located in Orlando, an after-hours-extra fee event & is a ton of fun.


Trick or Treat time at Universal = scare zones & haunted houses/mazes, not a candy grab. Although, if you are lucky…



you may run into Sam, who will gladly share his lollipop with you

If you don’t know Jack,



He’s the clown on the right, hanging out with the legendary Micheal Aiello.

If you are still asking yourself “what is HHN?”, then you just may want to keep it that way as you will get your share of…
