Universal Orlando has provided more information about the Stay and Scream program for its upcoming Halloween Horror Nights event. Guests with daytime admission to Universal Studios Florida can now access select haunted houses starting at 2 p.m. The wristband system from last year is returning, allowing eligible guests to stay in the park while enjoying early entry options. Annual passholders and those with a Scream Early ticket are among those who can participate in this early access experience. Three haunted houses will open at 2 p.m., with more becoming available throughout the afternoon leading up to the official event start time. The event runs from August 28 through November 1, offering fans an extended opportunity to explore the spooky attractions before evening hours begin.
