Is Halloween Horror Nights a haunted house?

During the months of September, October and a few days in November, Universal Studios closes at 5pm. Once the park is cleared of daytime guests, it reopens as “Halloween Horror Nights.” The park offers 10 different haunted houses as well as five scare zones.

I will say, first off, that our event is labeled PG-13, says Sauls, reflecting the official language on the HHN website that reads, WARNING: Event may be too intense for young children and is not recommended for children under the age of 13.

Can the actors touch you at Halloween Horror Nights? Although the event makes it feel like you're walking through a nightmare, the actors at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights can't touch guests, relieving a bit of the tension.

MORE DETAILS

There are hundreds of scare actors all over the theme park as well as in the houses, all of which are made to terrify guests. That being said, they do not even touch guests, and guests are not ever supposed to touch them.

Wear t-shirts from your favorite horror movies and match them with skater skirts. It can still be brutally humid in September and October. Pants might be too much, especially if you plan on getting there before the sun goes down. I prefer skirts (with pockets if possible), leggings or tights, and comfortable shoes.

No costumes, costume masks or face paint. Outside food & drinks are not permitted in the Theme Park. Food, drinks, bottles, recording/flash photography, flashlights or laser pens are not permitted in the Mazes.
