1. What is Halloween Horror Nights?
Universal Studios Hollywood is transformed into Los Angeles’s most terrifying Halloween experience, filled with haunted walk-through attractions, roaming scare-actors, and nightmare-inducing rides, shows and attractions. Plus unforgettable live music and high-energy dance performances by “The Mutaytor.”

Halloween Horror Nights is a separately ticketed nighttime event that is not included with regular daytime admission.

Halloween Horror Nights takes place on October 13–14, 20–21,
27–28 & 31.

2. Will the regular rides and attractions be open?
Universal Studios Hollywood's favorite attractions will remain open for the nighttime Halloween Horror Nights experience, but many will feature a menacing twist.

The standing sets and themed streets of the park will be transformed into scenes from "The Director's" dark vision. "WaterWorld" (transformed into "Slaughter World" for the occasion), "Jurassic Park—In the Dark," the "Revenge of the Mummy" psychological thrill ride and the twists and turns of  "Back to the Future... The Ride" will all seem like tranquil respites from The Director's bedlam.
