Universal Studios Orlando delivers frightful fun at Halloween Horror Nights with 10 haunted houses and five scare zones

Spooky season is coming to an end, and there is no better way to finish it off than by attending Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights.

The event sees Universal’s theme parks in Orlando, Hollywood, Japan, Beijing, and Singapore transformed into a delightfully scary experience and brings some of your favorite horror movies to life.

The one in Orlando consists of 10 terrifying haunted houses and five sinister scare zones, as well as a slew of delicious Halloween treats, dazzling live entertainment, and exhilarating rides. 

Each of the 10 haunted house has a theme – including some based off wildly popular franchises like the Insidious movies and the latest installment to the Ghostbusters series, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

There’s also a house dedicated to the Quiet Place movies, and between the eerie silence throughout and the horrific and massive alien animatronics, it delivers a chilling experience that left DailyMail.com reporter Lillian Gissen extremely on edge.

But arguably the most terrifying of the houses is Insidious: Into the Further, which sparked immense buzz when the event first began in late August.

‘Insidious: Into the Further is without a doubt the most terrifying house that I’ve ever been in,’ one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter, at the time.

‘I’ve been coming to Halloween Horror Nights since 1995 and I’ve never been to a house that has shook me to my core this much. Wow, it’s so well done.’

‘I’ve never been more terrified in a house before,’ agreed someone else. ‘I was sweating by the end with how much terror it filled me with.’

‘It’s a house that grabs on to you and just doesn’t let go and it just doesn’t end,’ another user added. ‘Truly every step was thrilling.’ 

The house indeed lived up to its reputation, with actors dressed up as various gruesome characters from the franchise jumping out at you at practically every turn.

Guests were seen running out of the exit at full speed, celebrating that they made it out in one piece and giggling over the sheer thrill of being scared to their core.

In addition to the houses that were inspired by horror classics, there’s also some based off original stories, concepts, and creatures.

Even when you’re not inside one of the 10 thrilling haunted houses you’re surrounded by wicked fights in the scare zones

One of the DailyMail.com reporter’s personal favorites was Major Sweets Candy Factory, a sickening house designed to look like a candy factory that had been taken over by gruesome monsters. 

As you tour the facility, you witness an array of horrific scenes like workers being murdered by slimy creatures and their insides being used to make the candy.

Other popular houses included Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines, which gave guests a front row view to an epic battle between the Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula’s daughter, and Slaughter Sinema 2, which allowed attendees to jump into the screens of a series of made-up and satirical horror movies.

Even when you’re not inside one of the 10 thrilling haunted houses you’re surrounded by wicked fights, as there are five scare zones positioned throughout the park – areas where the scare actors roam free to torment guests as they please.

If you do want to take a break from the scares you can enjoy the classic rides like Revenge of the Mummy – The Ride and MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack.
