Should be a blast this year! Rumors include giant bloodied cakes, a birthday party gone wrong along the lines of the infamous Stephen King's Carrie prom scene... I suspect the teaser site will be coming up around the end of July and a full site by mid-late August... After the auditions start, more info will be out...

In the announcement for Universal: 360, their new nighttime show, Universal Orlando President Bob Gault said:

The technology offers other opportunities too, for Halloween Horror Nights, Universal could produce a horror video show for the spheres. For Mardi Gras, stage shows could be projected live into the spheres. The screens could even broadcast NBC-TV shows, perhaps the Olympics

This seems to support a Studios return.

Hey guys! I've never been to this, but it seems really cool! Is it better to go a year that it's located in Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios? Also, about how much are single tickets? Does the price of a 1 day pass not include admission at night? Also, is there a weekend in October that is usually less crowded? I have a break October 12-15 so I was thinking about going then. Please explain to me what this is all about...I'm too anxious to wait for the website!!! Thanks!

the day pass does not include the night time part sorry! but it is well worth the money i went about 2 years ago and it was awesome!

I believe last year was the first year it was located Islands. The closer towards the beginning of the month, the slower it tends to be. HHN is great. It's a lot of fun. Every year sort of has a central 'theme'. There are many different 'haunted houses' if you will, set up throughout the park. They are so much more than haunted houses though. You'll really get a good scare, no matter who you are. There are lots of themes within each scare zone. Some examples would be a demonic biker bar, a haunted/possesed school or an alien mineshaft. Some are more intense than others, but all are good fun. There are props and actors galore. There are also lots of shows, roaming entertainment and drinks galore. The make-up is amazing. Some of the roaming characters last year looked amazingly like orcs from Lord Of The Rings, even looking BETTER than the make-up used in the movies. Definately don't pass on this event. I never miss it, and usually buy a frequent scare pass

Is it insanely scary?? I can't handle haunted houses...too scary!! Is the whole park scary, or just parts? And what is the difference between a haunted house and a scare zone? Don't you get scared in both?? Also, is it only at night and if it's at Universal Studios this year, is Islands of Adventure scare-free? AHH I wanna go but I'm such a chicken

It's pretty scary, but it's a lot of fun. The houses are located inside or around specific scare zones. You get scared in both, but it's insanely fun. It's only at night, and typically the other park is closed the time that HHN is going on. Just go, you'll love it.

I've been attending HHN since 1992 (started in 91) and have worked it since 2003... It's a lot of fun... the event was originally held at USF until 2002 when it was moved to Islands... now this year, the event is rumored to be coming back to USF, but it hasn't been officially confirmed... During the day, the parks are both opperating normally, but at night, the park that is holding HHN will close early so that they can transform it into the night event... the event runs about 630 (always opens early) to either 12 or 2am, depending on the night... The best time to go would be during the week because on the weekends it will get VERY crowded (imagine Magic Kingdom during 4th of July)... Weekend crowds range from 40,000-50,000, and weekday crowds are anywhere from 15,000-30,000 or so... I recommend a Frequent Fear Pass (valid on every non-peak night), or Express pass... Most rides will be operating during the event for those who are too scared to go to the Haunted Houses, but there are no 'safe zones' and you will have to encounter a monster sometime during the evening...

Halloween Horror Nights 2006 - (7/6/06) The latest buzz so far seems to confirm again that most of the event, if not all of it, will return to the Studios. We’ve also heard a short list of placeholder names for this year’s haunts. These names are either a work in progress, to indicate a similar theme to a previously used maze or perhaps even just the location in the park used for a previous maze. However, our earliest rumors for the Sweet 16 concept also mentioned that older classic themes and characters may return for another visit as well, so anything is possible. The list of seven haunts so far includes: Screamhouse, Run, PsychoScare-apy, Dungon, People Under the Stairs, All Night Die-In and Scary Tales. Anyone else heard more?

Also, the HHN 15 site has been taken down and replaced by a site that features the HHN logo and links to the USF & USH (yep, it's coming back!) websites.

That buzz from Screamscape is true. Props have started to be pulled for those houses, so expect the return of Caretaker and the Director in some form.

The only house I'm really excited to see back in Run.

Run was great!

Oh... and it's strongly looking like an eigth house will be created also... although my source doesn't know what it is yet.
