When Universal's Halloween Horror Nights descends upon the park it brings with it a darkness upon the park... except to one place.

The Christmas store at Universal Studios Florida has its lights on all year round, including the spookiest time of the year.

Michael Aiello, the Senior Director of Entertainment and Creative Development at the resort explained to us that when he began taking charge of Halloween Horror Nights, he specifically asked for the lights of the Christmas store to remain on. So next time you are in the parks on a Halloween evening, take a look up at the store and see the Christmas tree lit up.

The lights are a scary reminder to all fans of HHN that the event can't last forever and the Holidays are just around the corner.
