Halloween Horror Nights 2025 Kicks Off With Expert Tips to Beat the Crowds

App-driven planning delivers quicker access to ten haunted houses alongside four scare zones on opening nights

Overview

  • Halloween Horror Nights 2025 runs select evenings from August 29 to November 2 at Universal Studios Florida with ten new haunted houses and four immersive scare zones
  • Guests who arrive at the 6:30 p.m. opening can tackle headline houses like Terrifier and Jason Universe before wait times swell past two hours
  • Supportive sneakers are recommended over open-toed or thin-soled shoes to handle uneven floors, crowded pathways and more than 13 miles of walking in one night
  • Attendees should dine before entering or use quick-service locations like Krusty Burger to avoid long lines at specialty snack stands that often sell out
  • The Universal Orlando Resort app provides live wait times and maps while investing in an Express Pass can cut queues and allow visitors to see all ten haunted houses
