Fear Has No Boundaries At Universal Orlando:
For First Time Ever, Famed Halloween Horror Nights
Event To Dominate Two Theme Parks
Twice the Size, Twice the
Fear As Universal Expands Halloween to Universal
Studios and Islands of Adventure Orlando, Florida -
It is the Halloween everyone has wanted and talked
about: a dream - or nightmare - come true. This
year, Universal Orlando takes fear to an entirely
new level as it unleashes its famous "scream
team" across both Universal Studios and Islands
of Adventure, creating a Halloween Horror Nights
event bigger and more intense than ever before.
Fear will be everywhere. And
it will challenge guests in entirely new ways.
With two parks, a brand-new layout and all-new
experiences, Universal Orlando will again change
the face of Halloween terror. Halloween
Horror Nights XIV will run for 18 select nights
between October 1 and October 31, beginning at
7 p.m., on Oct. 1, 2, Oct. 8-10, Oct 13 - 17,
Oct. 21 - 24, and Oct. 28 - Oct 31.
This year's Halloween
Horror Nights event will be bigger and more immersive
than ever before. It will include seven
all-new haunted mazes; bigger, more intense scare
zones; a Halloween parade; specially themed shows;
hundreds of specially trained "scareactors" and
a "haunted" cornfield now being grown on one
of Universal's back lots.
"This is 360° fear," said
Skip Sherman, Senior Vice President of Entertainment
for Universal Orlando. "No one else can
get inside the psyche of their guest the way
Universal does during Halloween. Our guests
will go home and leave their lights on - for
many, many nights."
From the moment they
arrive at Halloween Horror Nights, guests will
be surrounded by an experience that is bigger,
more intense and different than anything Universal
Orlando has done before.
Universal's creative
team is designing an event that will be about
more than just what guests see. It will
also be about what they feel. To do so,
the team is weaving together environmental elements
and specific experiences - all of which come
together in powerful, new ways. Haunted
mazes will be filled with Universal's interpretation
of everything from vampire experiences to encounters
with the undead to visits inside prisons-gone-wrong. The
streets will be filled with a brand-new Halloween
parade, hundreds of "scareactors" and newly themed
scare zones. The ever-popular "Bill and
Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure" stage show
returns and there will be special screenings
of the Halloween classic, "The Rocky Horror Picture
Show."
