1. The Fun Doesn't Stop at the Event

Halloween Horror Nights is arguably the greatest event of its kind. The fun however doesn't stop at the park gates.

All around the resort you'll find pumpkins, aliens and ghostly vibes; all to get you in the spooky mood. Each hotel has its own display that offer photo opportunities. You will also find specialist drinks and food items on their bar menus.

Just outside the park gates in Citywalk you'll find the Dead Coconut Club, a bar that is transformed each Halloween. This year it is called Harvest and has been given an alien makeover.

Yes, the club has a bar and quirky cocktails, but it also great theming. The two story building has been made to look like "Midweston’s 35th Annual Harvest Festival," only aliens have invaded.

Dead Coconut Club: Harvest is also serving food for the first time, making it the perfect place to fuel up before a night in the park.

Each year we visit Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando and we say that it is unmatched, and this year we MUST say the same again. The scares are better than ever before, the houses more detailed, the scare zones even bigger.

Halloween Horror Nights 35 is the ultimate destination for horror fans and anyone who love things that go bump in the night.
