Overview

  • Universal confirms the necklace signals scare actors to reduce direct interactions in scare zones and common areas during Halloween Horror Nights.
  • The item does not apply inside haunted houses and it does not guarantee a scare-free experience.
  • Priced at $20, it is available at the Universal Studios Store in the park and at CityWalk, the Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store, the Men In Black Gear Shop, and nearby merchandise carts.
  • Team members were briefed on the program ahead of the HHN team member preview, according to reporting confirmed with Universal.
  • Similar opt-out markers have long existed at other haunts as “No Boo” necklaces, and Universal Studios Hollywood is not offering them this year as it monitors guest response in Orlando.
