Universal Orlando Sets Dates and Opens Sales for Halloween Horror Nights 35

Added early entry with extra premium capacity signals Universal’s push to monetize surging demand.

Overview

  • Universal Orlando opened ticket sales Thursday for HHN 35, which runs August 28 through November 1 at Universal Studios Florida across 48 select nights.
  • This year’s theme is the Infernal Carnival of Nightmares, with icons Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow co‑starring in the new house Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, as Universal confirms a slate of 10 all‑new houses.
  • Single‑night tickets start at $87.99 with date‑based pricing, and upgrades now on sale include Express Pass, R.I.P. Tours, and the daytime Behind the Screams lights‑on tours.
  • New for 2026, the Scream Early add‑on grants park entry from 2 p.m. on an event day and early access to at least three haunted houses before the night event begins.
  • Premium Scream Night returns as a limited‑capacity option on August 27 and October 19 with shorter waits and included food and nonalcoholic drinks, and a morning ticketing glitch that hid many August and September dates was resolved the same day.
