Boo! Tickets now on sale for Universal Orlando's record-breaking Halloween Horror Nights 2023
It's never too early to start making your plans for All Hallow's Eve!
Trick 'r treat! Universal Orlando Resort announced today that tickets are now on sale for the 2023 edition of the annual Halloween Horror Nights, which is set to take place over a record-setting 44 nights between Friday, Sep. 1 and Tuesday, Oct. 31.
"This highly anticipated event will bring guests’ worst nightmares to life within 10 all-new movie-quality haunted houses inspired by everything from top names in terror and pop culture to unfathomable original abominations devised by the twisted creators of the event," reads the official release. "Guests will also navigate five scare zones throughout the park — each filled with hordes of gruesome creatures stalking their every move — and enjoy outrageous live entertainment."
Obviously, all those scares are bound to make you hungry and in need of retail therapy. And the good folks at Universal Orlando have you covered!
"When they need a break from the scares, guests can satiate their appetite with a frightfully delicious menu inspired by the event’s sinister lineup, shop the latest merchandise at highly themed retail locations that are attractions in and of themselves, and enjoy some of Universal Studios Florida’s most exciting rides," the release notes.
