Universal Studios Florida has launched its 35th annual Halloween Horror Nights event, introducing a wide array of new themed experiences across the entire Orlando resort. The Dead Coconut Club in Citywalk features an alien abduction theme with unique food and drink options, while various hotels offer spooky overlays like the Frozen Haul bar. A major highlight is the first-ever Treehouse of Horror integration at The Simpsons attraction, offering a special “Daddy’s Soul Donut” cocktail. New scare zones include Downtown Clown Town, Fortnightmares, and Sideshow of Decay, with Jack the Clown even becoming a playable character in the actual Fortnite game. The event also debuted “Scream Early,” allowing guests to enter popular haunted houses like Stranger Things 5 and Hellraiser at 2 PM before peak crowds arrive.
