Universal Orlando Adds $20 'Deathly Afraid' Necklace to Soften HHN Scare Zones

The $20 wearable tells performers to ease off in scare zones only.

Overview

  • Universal confirms the necklace is sold during Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida and is intended to reduce direct interactions in scare zones.
  • The item costs $20 plus tax and is available at the Universal Studios Store in-park and at CityWalk, the Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store, the Men In Black Gear Shop, and nearby merchandise carts.
  • It does not apply inside haunted houses and it does not guarantee a scare-free experience, as sights and sounds in the zones remain.
  • Universal Studios Hollywood will not offer the necklaces this year, and creative director John Murdy said the team will monitor guest reaction in Orlando.
  • Similar opt-out "No Boo" products exist at other haunts, and reporters note any continuation or expansion would likely depend on sales and guest feedback.
