"This weekend, Universal Orlando opened its 32nd Halloween Horror Nights event, kicking off a record-setting 48-night run happening now through Nov. 4. This year’s iteration of the fan-favorite event has 10 haunted houses — including some themed to popular TV shows and iconic horror film franchises — five scare zones located throughout the park, live entertainment, and tons of frightfully themed food and drink options. Located in Universal Studios Florida — one of three Universal Orlando theme parks, along with Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Volcano Bay water park — this eerie event has a huge fanbase. Each year, horror-loving fans speculate about the house and scare zone themes online for months before they are finally released — and then they line up for hours in their spooky best when September rolls around and Horror Nights begins." - Travel + Leisure Editors
