Let's all just gather here and share a moment of silence for how sad it is for those of us who couldn't get it together for the ultimate dark carnival 😔

So I’m always looking forward to going to this event every year in Orlando. I know 35 is not a big year, but people have been looking forward to this anniversary year and I just feel like it’s a little lacking.

Outside of sinners, cyberGoria, and HR bloodnguts, this lineup does not get me hyped. I hope the execution is better than what is being presented.

Do you think I’m putting too many expectations on an event like this?

Trying to decide between purchasing Ultimate (so expensive...) to cover parking OR purchasing Frequent Fear and then getting a Preferred Annual pass to cover the parking and get more bang for my buck by getting access to the parks all year.

However, official Universal language online states that the Preferred parking perk will not work on HHN nights, while anecdotal reviews online say that they successfully do this all season.

What's the consensus? Do you have to use it before 6pm for it to work??

I’m planning to purchase Frequent Fear Plus for myself and my partner this year. I had set aside money for them, but some unexpected expenses came up, so I’ll likely need to wait about a month before purchasing.

I’m not worried about opening weekend specifically, and I’m hoping to buy before the season starts — I’m just curious about how quickly Frequent Fear options have sold out in previous years.

For those who have purchased in past HHN seasons: have Frequent Fear/Frequent Fear Plus passes ever become unavailable before the season started, or have they generally been available closer to opening night?

Just trying to plan my budget/timing - thanks!

After seeing people’s (surprisingly positive) response to Club Horror coming back this year, I was wondering if anyone misses San Francisco when it was a scarezone instead a “street experience.”

So the scarezones in Orlando this year are clowns and fortnite... where's the variety???

Please tell me atleast Arty from terrifier will be included in some capacity..

Considering making it down this year. What’s the line up? Really wanted to see terrifier as I missed it last year

Hi friends.

In HHN years past, ADA guest accommodations provided slips whereby you’d get return times for haunted houses based on the wait time in the queue for those unable to stand in a conventional line.

Universal recently switched to an electronic system similar to Disney’s DAS, allowing you to secure return times on the app, still based on standard wait times.

I’ve been told by guest services that no accommodations will be offered for the houses this year since the switch to the electronic system and I’m lightweight freaking out as this significantly changes my ability to participate in the event.

Has anyone here heard anything different? I did email guest services in the hopes that maybe the team member I spoke to was misinformed due to the details of HHN not being completely hashed out…

Does anyone have any links for good beads and bracelet making kits? (amazon etsy etc) I don’t have ANY supplies so best options for cost effective for best/coolest materials would be appreciated :) I wanted to do some glow in the dark ones as well if anyone has any links for those! Pictures of ideas for bracelet themes too would be amazing! Thanks!

Hello all, not the point of this post, but ive been let down by the announcements of HHN. I usually go to Orlando HHN but intrigued by hollywood that ive never been to.

Apart from the 8 houses Hollywood has vs the 10 houses orlando has. As well as the houses being different and terror tram. Any big differences between the two events i should know about?

I know that - at least in past years - Universal has sold upgrades from HHN Express to Unlimited at the park on the same day. People have also reported being able to upgrade at their hotels.
I'm wondering if anyone knows if last year they offered upgrades at the Epic customer service desk.

I have HHN Express one of the days I'm visiting. But I also have two daytime multi park Express Passes for that same day (I ended up changing my plans around, and now have an overlap on my two 5 day EPs.) I'd originally planned to spend the whole day at IOA and USF, but now I'm thinking of starting the day at Epic, to take advantage of the EPs for a few rides there, before heading over to IOA, using them there, then heading over to Stay and Scream at USF.

But I'm worried about HHN unlimited express selling out, so I wanted to get it right at park opening -- assuming that they even offer it this year or that day. And if I go to Epic first, it might be sold out by the time I get over to USF.

So, I'm wondering if anyone knows if they sold Unlimited Express upgrades at Epic last year.
Did anyone successfully get upgraded there?

If not, I guess I could probably try to head over to Endless Summer the late night before, since I'll be at Fun Spot Orlando until midnight. (I hear they start selling them at midnight.)

Side note: Could I have any problems using two different Express tickets on the same day? I know that they use facial recognition. But could I just scan the different tickets manually?

Thanks for any advice!

Sorry tried to google couldn’t find the answer. Thank you.

Hear me out: if HHN can have Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice and Fortnite, it’s time for a goosebumps and Scooby-Doo haunted house. Universal has already started using the SD IP more. The “night of the living dummy” episodes of Goosebumps were lowkey scarier than any Chucky movie. I feel like both of these properties can bring a good mixture of scares and the fun house of the year.

I’m still waiting for the day Universal can get the license for IT or Welcome to Derry…but I’ll save that for another day.

Cybergoria’s lore seems to be deeper and darker than we thought….
