Hello there & welcome to our DisneyKindaLife! Can you feel the fog? That eerie feeling of Halloween Horror Nights HHN 35 is creeping in. While our hearts are always filled with pixie dust, sometimes we need a little edge to our excitement, and that means heading over to Universal Studios Orlando resort! We’re absolutely thrilled because Universal Orlando Resort just dropped a ton of details for the milestone 35th year of Halloween Horror Nights!
Yes, we know, it’s not Mickey, but with the announcement of Jack & Dr Oddfellow returning, we promise that you will grow to like them both just as much, if not more!! Grab your preferred witch’s brew or chainsaw because we’re diving into the newly announced ticket options that are officially on sale today. Let’s face it, HHN can be overwhelming, so we’ve broken down all the ways you can “Explore the Gore Your Way.” Let’s step into the fog, shall we!
Below,, we break down the ticket options available as of March 26th, 2026. As always, you can follow us along visually over on YouTube by clicking here.
HHN 35 Single-Night Ticket
If you’re looking for one night of absolute terror, this is your entry point! These are separately ticketed events, meaning your regular park ticket will not get you in. You’ll choose your specific night (or nights!) to experience. A couple of side points to mention. If you have the Premiere Annual Pass, you get one free HHN entry, which will require a reservation at a later date. Watch Universal Socials and here for those dates! Tickets start at $ 88 per night; however, they will go up as more tickets are sold. Also, some dates have much higher prices depending on demand.
- Dates for HHN: running on select nights from August 28 through November 1, 2026.
- 10 Terrifying Haunted Houses: This year’s lineup includes houses inspired by the biggest names in horror and some truly twisted Universal original creations. This includes Jack the Clown, this year announced last weekend!
- Sinister Scare Zones: The streets of Universal Studios Florida will feature scareactors which will hunt you down for a scare when you least expect it!
- Live Entertainment: We always need a break from the scares, and HHN features at least one stage show and even a lagoon show to help set the mood.
The HHN 35 Express Pass
This is a must-have for maximum scares The lines for HHN houses can be legendary in their own right. The Halloween Horror Nights Express Pass lets you:
- SKIP THE REGULAR LINES one time for each haunted house and select rides and attractions.
Is it worth it? If you have only one night and want to see everything, absolutely. It’s a game-changer for fitting all the terror into a single evening. A key point to mention is that you need to buy your HHN ticket and the express pass for the same day. I want to stress that if you only have one evening at HHN, you will want to express yourself if you are a more chill type of person. Without express, you will need to rush around and be at the event from 5pm until 2am.
HHN Add-Ons and Special Experiences
If you’re a real HHN enthusiast (or just want to be truly spoiled!), Universal has some incredible add-on options that are also available for purchase starting today as well.
- R.I.P. Tours: This is the ultimate, way to scream. You get to join a tour led by a knowledgeable guide that takes your group straight to the front of all the haunted houses. It’s like a super Express Pass with a concierge! These are quite expensive, starting at 399, an entry ticket, and you also need to buy an entry ticket.
- Scream Early Ticket: This is a fantastic option! It lets you get into Universal Studios Florida before the event even begins, and this year it starts at 2 PM. Also, not known at this point, but the wording around this ticket suggests houses will be open starting at 2 pm as well. More info to follow as it is released. As with all add-ons, you need an HHN entry ticket for this option as well.
- Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour: Ever wonder how all the terror is made? This lights-on, daytime tour gives you a fascinating (and less scary!) look at the incredibly detailed houses. This is perfect for horror fans who love the art of the scare and is a completely separate experience from the nighttime event. This does not include any access to HHN but is well worth the price!
Conclusion & Final Thoughts on HHN 35
