Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando is known for its terrifying haunted houses and scare actors, but some visitors prefer to avoid the intense scares. A new product called the Deathly Afraid lanyard offers a solution by signaling to scare actors that the wearer should be left alone in public areas. The $20 lanyard features a bright red disk that visibly indicates the user is not interested in being scared during scare zones and other common event spaces. Testing showed that scare actors respected the lanyard and did not approach wearers, though it offers no protection inside haunted houses where visitors can choose to avoid entry. Battery life lasted the entire evening without issues, making it a reliable option for those wanting to enjoy the event without constant fear.
