5 Extra Things You Must Do At Universal's Halloween Horror Nights

These are the things you MUST do after you've completed every HHN horror house.

Universal Orlando Resort's Halloween Horror Nights is the ultimate destination for horror fans.

HHN is best known for its 10 terrifyingly immersive haunted houses, which take you into the world of some of your favourite horror franchises.

This year the houses might be some of the very best that Universal have ever created. With big names such as WWE, Five Nights at Freddys, Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees, Fallout and Terrifier; HHN34 has pulled out all the stops for 2025.

But after you've completed them all, what else can you do? After sampling everything that Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort has to offer, we've got the low down on everything you need to know.

From zombies on roller skates, fire dancers putting on a nightmarish show to a killer mime on a tricycle; we want to show that there's much more to Halloween Horror Nights than their excellent haunted houses.

With a lot to explore, you might be surprised by how much you can pack into your evening at the world's premier horror event. After all, there's nothing more scary than missing out on the fun!

5. Bigger Than Ever Scare Zones

Universal's Halloween Horror Nights houses might be the headline act, but it's the scare zones that truly bring the event to life.

Elaborate sets and fantastic scare actors transform the park once the sun begins to set; bringing to life fun and horrifying stories.

HHN34 has spared no expense with their scare zones this year. Each with their own personality. There's a scare zone for you, no matter your horror tastes.

Making the lineup for this year are The Origins of Horror, Masquerade: Dance with Death, The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane and Mutations: Toxic Twenties.

It can be easy for first time visitors of HHN to want to rush through the scare zones to head straight into the houses, but you'll be truly missing out.

The best way to enjoy the scare zones is to linger in them and soak up the atmosphere. You never know what kind of scares and interactions are in store. When hanging out in The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane we had an incredibly fun interaction with one of the Cat Lady's felines, who performed a rather feline inspired dance for our camera.

If you race past Mutations: Toxic Twenties on the way to the Jason Universe house you aren't going to see some of the show elements in the area. With numerous stages you can see mutated Flappers and terrified mobsters put on almost interactive performances that unless you stop to watch, you'll miss out on completely.

Ranging from the dark vampiric vibes of Masquerade: Dance with Death to the creature filled gothic tones of The Origins of Horror, it's the scare zones that set the tone for each HHN. 

In our opinion, spending time in scare zone is spooky time well spent.
