Ten total houses with six original ones this year to terrify you and engulf you in the disturbing stories:  

Dead Man’s Wharf Winter Wake HHN 31 Halloween Horror Nights 2022 Universal Orlando

  2. Dark Zodiac: Dr. Oddfellow, who has taken a dive into a creepy dark dimension. His goal? To tap into the power of the Zodiac and become immortal.
  3. Jungle of Doom: Expedition Horror: Dr. Oddfellow is taking his demented ways into the deep jungle to perform terrible experiments on nature. See what terrifying creatures await in the 1920s.
  4. Vamp ’69: Summer of Blood: The 1960s music fest has landed in a small New York town and while you’re partying it up with popular bands, Dr. Oddfellow is quietly waiting to release ravenous vampires upon you. 
  5. Shipyard 32: Horrors Unhinged: A 1940s San Francisco mysterious shipping yard is filled with unearthly crates and cages that have Dr. Oddfellow’s symbol on them. Just when you think you’re safe, you’re attacked from all sides with the chaos brought on by the petrifying oddities.

Major Sweets Ice Cream Sandwich Halloween treat featured candy-corn sugar cookies filled with sweet corn ice cream (vegetarian) and was one of the best things to eat at Halloween Horror Nights 2022.

The Fried Zombie Brains was a unique HHN foodie experience that includes fried cauliflower florets tossed in spicy gochujang sauce and garnished with toasted sesame seeds and scallions (vegan).

Petrified Rat Tails and Pizza Skull

What’s better than funnel fries with creamy crab dip, sliced scallions and seasoned with herbs and spices. Sounds too weird for you?

That’s what we got with the Petrified Rat Tails!

The Pizza Skull was one of the winners for HHN 31. This unique Pizza Skull comes with Pepperoni and cheese stuffed skulls served with a refreshing marinara dipping sauce.
