We’re gearing up for spooky season in Orlando, and that means Halloween Horror Nights is coming back!

Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights

This annual Halloween event takes place at Universal Studios Florida, and it has some seriously dedicated fans! This is where you’ll want to go if you truly enjoy the spooky, scary, and gory part of the season. But for 2026, they’ve made a major change to the ticket offerings.

For 2026, Universal Orlando has discontinued the Express Pass add-on option for Frequent Fear Passes. Frequent Fear Passes are season passes that allow guests to visit Halloween Horror Nights multiple times. Previously, you could pay to add Express Pass to your Frequent Fear Pass, that way you’d be able to skip lines at the haunted houses during your visits. Now, that’s no longer an option for this season pass.

You still have the option to purchase Express Passes to go with a single night ticket, but you can no longer bundle it with the Frequent Fear Pass. Other specialty ticket options that remain available are the Premium Scream Night, the R.I.P. Tour, the Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour, and the Scream Early Ticket.

This year, Halloween Horror Nights happens from August 28th through November 1st on select nights. There will be ten haunted houses, multiple scare zones, and exclusive entertainment and food offerings. This event is not recommended for children under the age of 13 due to its themes and intensity.
