Hipster Power Tip: For 2026, Universal has discontinued the “Fear with Express” products, meaning you can no longer bundle Express Pass directly with Rush of Fear, Frequent Fear, Frequent Fear Plus, or Ultimate Frequent Fear. You can still buy a regular HHN Express Pass separately for a specific event night, but the old multi-night “with Express” option is gone.
Be sure to check out the full list of prices for the Frequent Fear Passes here.
Remember to always check to see to see if Groupon is offering Halloween Horror Nights discount tickets for the year. You can also book your Universal Orlando discount hotel through Hotels.com.
