Whether you peep slasher flicks through the slits between your fingers or you’ve got a zombie apocalypse bunker in your basement, Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) has your name on it. Show Halloween Horror Nights occurs every year throughout September and October. The specifics change every year — new haunted houses, new flicks features in houses, new entertainment — but certain basics remain the same. Let’s walk through everything you need to know about the annual haunted happening. WHAT TO KNOWWHEN: The event runs select nights and every Thursday through Sunday in September and October, including the scariest night of them all — Halloween. Check the specific dates here. TICKETS: HHN requires a separate ticket than regular daytime theme park admission. There are several ticketing options: General Admission, Universal Express pass for a shorter wait time in line, After 2 PM Day/Night, R.I.P. Tour, and the popular Frequent Fear and Ultimate Fear Passes to be scared again and again. Peep this year’s prices here. WHO TO BRING: Sorry, parents, but you might want to leave the little ones at home for this one. It’s not recommended for kids under 13 — too scary! WHAT TO WEAR: Masks and costumes are not allowed at HHN. Remember, you’re there to be scared, not to scare. Beyond that, we recommend comfortable, walkable shoes, a long-sleeve layer for those chilly LA nights, and your favorite horror movie t-shirt. Let that freak flag fly (in sensible footwear)! WHAT TO DOHAUNTED HOUSESPHEW, okay, now onto the fun stuff. We know exactly why you horror freaks are here: the HAUNTED HOUSES, duh. Each year, Universal brings the most iconic scary movies, TV shows, and pop culture phenomena to life in the form of haunted houses and Terror Tram — an exclusive experience where guests can walk the infamous studio backlot. In the houses, you’ll get to completely immerse yourself in a maze-like series of jump scares with Hollywood-level production value. In other words: You’re the victim. The houses change every year, but recent themes have included some of the top names in horror TV, movies, and even music. Some tips:
