    Official 2023 Halloween Horror Nights 32 (Orlando)

    A very interesting question - I know I'll be looking for references in Oddfellow's Carnival, at least a box if not an outright appearance at that "event". Uni seems to be going all in on Oddfellow this year, which sets up some interesting questions for what's ahead given the history with Jack...

    Official 2023 Halloween Horror Nights 32 (Orlando)

    Based on the house entrance spec map, there's going to be A LOT of walking this year. Even more than usual. We'll have one or two houses with that long walk around MIB, and having the entrance for The Last of Us over by MIB even though it's in the parade float building (Weeknd/Hill...

    Official 2023 Halloween Horror Nights 32 (Orlando)

    There's an interesting change to the multi-night tickets this year. The Terms and Conditions say the following in a few places: "Guest MUST select the pass start date at time of purchase. First visit using the Pass MUST be ON or AFTER the selected start date - pass will not be valid for any...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    There's no official S&S for Dead Man's Pier (or Chupacabra) since those houses open with the gates at 6pm. The reality, however, is that an unofficial line opens in front of the entrance to those queues when the New York S&S releases around 5:45 or so. You still can get an early start at DMP...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Operations and wait times have seemed all over the place this past week from the look of things - even the best strategy can fall apart when something unexpected happens (weather, delays, poor ops). I had seen something on another board where there was a lot of confusion at Dead Man's Pier one...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    S&S does mean Stay & Scream. When the park closes at 5pm, all day guests either must exit the park or enter one of the designated S&S areas within the park to wait for the start of HHN. You can't enter a S&S area unless you're already in the park before 5pm (which requires regular park tickets...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Based on what I've learned over the years, the House of the Year is named prior to the start of the last night and receives the honor of being able to run both casts at the same time in the house. Double the actors, plenty of scares. Again, something you can only experience on the last night...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    HHN continues to get busier - I’ve seen a few veterans posting that - for the first time in a long time - they were not able to get through all 10 houses during the event even with Stay & Scream. A few grumbles that Uni may need to be more restrictive (or raise prices) on multinight passes next...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Apologies to anyone who followed my advice last night. Apparently they generally released the NY S&S around 5:45 after the Halloween line cleared and people were able to queue up for Dead Mans Pier/Chupacabra. The soundstage, however, was having problems and both houses had delayed opening...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    I can only speak for the New York S&S area. It’s somewhat different than the 2019 set up (where they mostly herded everyone into one of two wide lanes next to the park and facing Mummy). This year there are official lines/queues in the S&S area for Halloween and Spirits of the Coven (and, IIRC...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    A rough estimate of the queues (entrance and exit combined) from shortest to longest: -Blumhouse (no exit queue - you’re right back in the park when you step out of the house) -Hellblock Horror -Spirits of the Coven -Descendants of Destruction -Halloween -Chupacabra -Dead Mans Pier -Bugs...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Quick recap of our third and final night: we did 9 houses and two repeats. Started in the NY S&S again and released at 5:40 to queue up for Dead Man’s Pier. Did that house when it opened at 6pm and Chupacabra right after (5 min wait posted). We then headed to Bugs around 6:25 - which was...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Doing an Unmasking the Horror tour now: nothing about flashlights or headphones - it’s the same way they’ve done tours in the past so don’t bring that extra stuff with you. They’re giving out UTH themed lanyards this year. Update: our guide did say that tour guides have the option to use the...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    This seems to be the same story, themes and overall effects as the previous Nightmare Fuel. Some of the choreography and songs appear to have changed. A little more info (so I don’t spoil anything for those who haven’t seen it):

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    HHN Night 2 recap: another busy evening, but a little more normal without the opening night craziness. We didn’t have Express tonight, so didn’t push as hard since we got through all the houses yesterday. Tried to hit Mummy before going to the holding pens, but they closed the line at 4:30...

    Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

    Reporting in from opening night - another great event this year and glad to see it back to form (even if busy as ever). A few hiccups in how things were running, but it’s opening weekend and they’ll work through those. Overall though a solid show for HHN 31. A few general observations (no...

    1) Scream Early tickets allow you to get into USO at 3pm. 2) Stay & Scream areas don’t open until around 4pm. You will need to scan into a S&S area by park closing at 5pm, but you can do anything else you want in the park between 3pm and 5pm. 3) Team members will scan the QR codes. 4) You can...
