Every fall, from early August through the weekend after Halloween, Universal Orlando transforms into a realm of terror for its world-famous Halloween Horror Nights (HHN). This after-hours spectacle features 10 haunted houses, eerie scare zones, electrifying street experiences, and the high-energy show Nightmare Fuel: Circus of Decay. Now celebrating 34 years of fear, HHN has become a beloved fall tradition, especially among students, with the University of Tampa’s Student Productions hosting an annual trip that lets thrill-seekers experience the screams, scares, and excitement firsthand.
