There are scary Halloween houses throughout the tristate, but for a movie quality experience, bar none, head to Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights, running on select nights through Nov. 2, where not just one but 10 haunted houses await.
The event comes with a warning that it’s not suitable for under-13s — we’d also add not for the fainthearted, either.
Draped in cobwebs, gargoyles and tombs, the after-dark event at Universal Studios pulls from this year’s most trending ghouls and scares.
Guests can meander in the retro wasteland of “Fallout”; walk through Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria from “Five Nights at Freddy’s”; encounter Art the Clown in his Funhouse from “Terrifier”; run from iconic Jason, now appearing in “Jason Universe”; and meet the WWE sicko Wyatt Sicks from “WWE Presents: The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks.”
Five more houses original to the park complete the lineup including “El Artista: A Spanish Haunting” which evokes a tortured artist in a 19th-century Spanish manor; the creepy “Dolls: Let’s Play Dead,” where you’re shrunk to the size of a doll to become hunted down by mutant toys; and perhaps scariest of all, “Grave of Flesh,” where you’ll be at your own funeral, only to find yourself hunted by immortal flesh-eaters.
If that’s not enough on the screamometer, as guests avail of selected rides, food and merch curated to the event, they can expect to encounter ghouls, vampires, zombies and chainsaw-wielding monsters who lurk throughout the park, looking to make you their next scare victim.
It’s not all gloom and doom, though — at Club Horror, an undead DJ spins some tunes and there’s two live shows with pyrotechnics, illusions and images projected onto the giant fountains, all backed by a suitably creepy score.
One-night tickets start at $89.99.
