Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2023 Dates, Tickets Announced for 10 Houses

Universal Studios theme parks’ Halloween Horror Nights 2023 just announced the opening date, as well as tickets and packages details, teasing that this year’s event will include a total of 10 haunted houses and five scare zones. Read on for the full press release from Universal Studios Florida.

The world’s premier Halloween event, Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights, returns to Universal Studios Florida for a record-breaking 44 nights this fall – unleashing a new slate of horrifying haunted houses and scare zones filled with menacing creatures, and outrageous entertainment on select nights September 1 through October 31.

Starting today, guests can officially begin to summon their scream squad and plan the ultimate fall getaway with a variety of offers available now, including single-night event tickets, event upgrades and a vacation package that allows them to relish in the thrills of the parks during the day before braving the chills of Halloween Horror Nights at night.

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. 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. And 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.

See below for an overview of the current offers guests can book now to experience Halloween Horror Nights 2023. Additional ticket products and offers – including the Frequent Fear Pass and more – will be available in the months ahead.
