Screaaaaaaaaaaaaam


Sorry Tampa lovers, I’m going to take you a hour away to Orlando for this event. Why is the occasion so special that I had to leave the TBA for? Well, it could only be one thing.

That’s right – it’s October and time for Universal Studio’s Halloween Horror Nights!

My roommate is a film major, so it’s only necessary that he goes. I’m not into horror movies or scary things at all for that matter, but its best that I get to experience something I’ve never been to.

So what is HHN?

It’s the parks 23rd year doing HHN and the theme is evil. There are eight haunted houses throughout the park (with each house having a theme such as Walking Dead, Cabin in the Woods and Resident Evil) There are zombies running through the streets of the park so watch out! Only a select number of rides are opened during the event and the wait time for them are only around five minutes (if that)

(They’re strict on photography so I wasn’t able to get any pictures inside the houses – sorry!!)

I will tell you for someone who does not like scary things that the houses had amazing detail to them and would defiantly make any horror fan scream!! I don’t want to give too much away so you HAVE to experience it for yourself.

The park opens for HHN around 6:00 p.m. The lines for the haunted houses fill up quick and the park closes at different times depending on what night you go. I would advise my Tampa people to leave around 4 so you can get to Orlando with no problem and make it there by 6 to have enough time to do everything you want.

Tickets range in price depending on the day (we went on a Sun night) so with our Florida discounts (all you need is a coke can code and enter it online) the total came out to around $48. Make sure you bring proof (student ID, regular ID and a piece of mail) with you just in case of questions.

HHN is opened now until 2 November so if you are anywhere close to Orlando, I strongly encourage going.

Happy haunting Tampa fans.
