Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood is one of the largest Halloween events in the United States. Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood started this year on September 7, 2023 and is ending on Halloween. This Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood is said to be the scariest one yet. The max capacity for the event is 21,00 people. Horror Nights ticket prices vary per night but generally cost between $40-$100.

The Halloween Horror Nights attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood this year  include haunted houses themed off of “Stranger Things 4,” “The Last of Us,” and “The Exorcist: Believer”, a “Purge”-themed show in the “Waterworld” arena, and a Terror Tram experience. Other attractions at Horror Nights are Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count, Universal Monsters: Unmasked, Evil Dead Rise, Monstrous: The Monsters of Latin America, and Holidayz In Hell. The Terror Tram experience is new to Halloween Horror nights. 

The attractions at Halloween Horror Nights have gotten overall good reviews. However, The Exorcist: Believer only received okay reviews because no one understood what was going on since the movie for it hasn’t come out yet. Monstrous: The Monsters of Latin America is said to be one of the best rides at Horror Nights this year because it is an absolutely humongous  house based on Latin American culture and legends. The overall collection of attractions at Halloween Horror Nights this year was rated 92%.

I think it’s definitely worth the money to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood this year. Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood has amazing rides and great themes. This Horror Nights is also said to be the scariest Horror Nights yet, so if you want scares you should go check it out.  Also, if you choose the right nights, the prices for Horror Nights aren’t that bad. For these reasons, I would definitely recommend going to Halloween Horror Nights this year especially if you want to get into that Halloween spirit. 🐾
