Just a few days after announcing the dates, overall theme, and “ringmasters” for Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Orlando Resort has given us the ticket information for this year’s event. It’s the 35th year for Halloween Horror Nights, and Universal plans to celebrate in a very big way.
Two of the most iconic original characters, Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow will be overseeing the “Infernal Carnival of Nightmares”, as the 2026 event has been christened.
Possibly the most well-known (and popular) Halloween event, Halloween Horror Nights will run for 48 select nights in 2026, beginning August 28, and ending on November 1. And tickets can be purchased right now on the website.
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights ticket and upgrade options will include:
Single night tickets, which are good on one event night.
HHN Universal Express Passes, which will allow visitors to get faster access to haunted houses and participating rides/attraction by bypassing the regular lines.
R.I.P. Tour passes, which entitle purchasers to a guided tour, and include priority VIP entry to houses and attractions, along with other premium benefits.
Scream Early tickets can be added to regular HHN admission, allowing guests to obtain early entry to Universal Studios Florida, along with park attractions and select houses. Early entry will begin at 2:00 p.m., which is before the event’s official start time.
Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour passes will give visitors the chance to take a daylight hours peek behind the scenes at select haunted houses.
Stay, Scream, and Save is a chance to save up to $200 on vacation packages that include one-night admission to Halloween Horror Nights, along with daytime admission to Universal Orlando’s theme parks (including Universal Epic Universe), and hotel accommodations at one of Universal’s 11 specially-themed hotels. Hotel guests will also receive special perks, such as free transportation, a dedicated entry gate into HHN, and “seasonal experiences” at the hotels.
Premium Scream Night tickets are also back this year, but instead of one night, purchasers can choose from two nights. Premium Scream Nights are limited capacity, so guests will enjoy shorter wait times for rides, attractions, and haunted houses. Premium Scream Nights are Thursday, August 27, and Monday, October 19.
In the coming months, Universal will release information regarding themes for the ten haunted houses and the scare zones, specially themed food and beverage options, merchandise that will be available, and much more. The Horror Lounge will give all of the info to you as soon as we receive it.
In the meantime, visit the website to purchase tickets and get more info.
