Last year's pattern, for reference: HHN 34 ran select nights August 29 through November 2, 2025, also at Universal Studios Florida. That's how the dates shook out in 2025, not a promise for how 2026 will run.
Last checked July 6, 2026. We'll update this page as Universal announces more.

Options
Ticket types (no prices yet)
HHN sells several ways to get in. None of the 2026 prices are public yet, but here's what each option actually is:
Standard single-night admission
General entry to the event for one night.
Premium Scream Night
A separate, exclusive event night with shorter waits and food included. Two dates this year: August 27 and October 19.
Express Pass
A paid upgrade sold by Universal that shortens house waits during a regular event night.
R.I.P. Tour
A guided VIP walking tour through the event.
Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour
Universal's separate behind-the-scenes tour of the event.
We don't sell tickets, Express Pass, or any of these upgrades. This is just what Universal offers so you know your options before you buy from them.
Planning
How to pick your night
HHN runs select nights across more than two months, and not every night draws the same crowd. Weekend nights typically sell heavier than weeknights, and nights closest to Halloween itself, plus opening weekend, tend to draw the biggest crowds. A Sunday through Thursday night that isn't opening weekend or the final weekend usually moves faster through the houses.
Universal Studios Florida runs its regular daytime operation right alongside HHN, so it's worth checking the park's crowd calendar for the daytime picture on your date before you commit to a ticket.
Most HHN trips have a park day attached. The app tracks live ride waits at all three Universal Orlando parks and rebuilds your plan when the day gets weird. Get it on the App Store before your trip.
