2023 Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights feeds that craving
While the fog might be the sign that the frights await, 2023 Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights has guests willing to brave the darkness. With the promise of delectable delights waiting after the screams fade, this year’s event proves that theme park experiences must be a total sensory immersion.
Over the years, Halloween has become more than just a simple juvenile quest for candy. While some people embrace the spook world, others use the moment to tackle their fears. With the help of the scare squad, the darkness could be welcoming. What lays on the other side might not be what they expected.
Recently, 2023 Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights unveiled its line-up. While people knew about The Last of Us, Stranger Things and Chucky, it is the other stories that highlight the creativity of the team.
For example, Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America plays into a sometimes overlooked aspect to the spooky realm. Latin American culture has a connection to its ancestors and to some cultural darkness. Although no one expects a game with terminal end, this house should leave people thinking when they emerge into the light. It isn’t about finding those Easter Eggs along the way. It is about taking the step forward and willing to explore.
Hungry for more at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights?
While the frights make the heart pump, it is the food and beverage offerings that has become a highlight of any theme park experience. Since the screams often cause a thirst, the Peacock’s Halloween Horror Bar will be shaking up the cocktails all night long. From Chucky influenced offerings to The Purge sippers, these drinks will be captured for all to see. Hopefully the scareactors lurking in the corner do not cause anyone to spill their glass.
Similar to when Stranger Things was part of HHN previously, the Netflix show easily works into food and beverage options. This year’s event will feature a Surfer Boy Pizza and Scoops Ahoy offering. Pizza and ice cream should have a wide appeal.
For the most part, the HHN menu is approachable to a wide audience. No one is worried about zombiefied foods or unusual protein choices. This event is about bringing fun.
Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights runs select nights from September 7 through October 31. Tickets and additional packages can be found online.
