**KEEP CHECKING BELOW FOR UPDATES!**

Universal didn’t have Halloween Horror Nights in 2020 due to the pandemic. HHN 30 is happening!!! The event will take place select nights from September 3 through October 31.

“You definitely need someone to cling to, someone to hide behind, somebody to panic with. Because just as in horror films where the first to wander off meets a terrible fate, there’s one thing to remember at Halloween Horror Nights: Never go alone.”

Beetlejuice has been announced as a house, and there are 10 in total. I was able to experience a version of the Beetlejuice house last year, it was amazing! I was there on Halloween and the park still did what it could to celebrate the holiday.

There are five slots for scare zones, none of which have been announced. Seven unnamed attractions will be open. There is one slot for live entertainment and two for merchandise and dining. I can just about guarantee that the merchandise slot is an HHN Tribute Store. It’s always wildly popular and they go all-out with the décor and theming.

Halloween Horror Nights is the most awesome event Universal Orlando puts on. After missing out last year, I’m extra excited about it this year! It’s the 30th anniversary, so I know they are going to do their absolute best to scare the shit out of us!

**UPDATED 06/17/2021**

Some of the HHN ticket, Express, and Tour tickets are out. Single night tickets start at $70.99, Express Passes start at $69.99, Behind-the-Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour start at $79.99, and R.I.P. Tour starts at $199.99. Each of those prices are per person. There aren’t any passes on the site yet, but I’m anxious to see what they will offer and how much they will go for.

There is an HHN 30 Jack shirt on the site. It’s limited release and is $28.00. It doesn’t say how limited it is, though. I love it! I can’t wait to see everything they’re going to have this year.

You can also get the shirt in The Five & Dime (Bourne) store in the Hollywood area of Universal Studios! By these signs, I’m really hoping they’ll give us more than the shirt!

Jack is back! All three incarnations of Jack—the clown, the ringmaster and the rock star—will be featured. According to Universal, Jack will be featured “from the streets, to the haunted houses to the places guests would least expect.”

Jack will be at Universal’s Cabana Bay Resort for a limited time at a “Jack’d Up” experience where visitors will get a closer look at his past Halloween Horror Nights experiences. Enter the Jack-In-The-Box to get inside the world of Jack the Clown for a chaotic mind trip into The Carnival of Carnage. Guests will not leave until Jack transforms them into one of his Maniacs. Jack’d Up allows guests to take photos, get inside Jack’s blender, and experience a hypnotic transformation to become a Maniac. This experience will be located in the Fun In The Sun Rec Center on the second floor.

The Swizzle Lounge will transform into “Horrors Icon Bar” that will feature specialty beverages and snacks inspired by Halloween Horror Nights past. Posters and banners will hang throughout the bar featuring Universal provided artwork of the Icons. The artwork will include Jack the Clown and Chance, The Storyteller, The Director, The Usher, and The Caretaker. Coming from the vaults of HHNs of the past, you will also see costumes and props. You will be able to purchase drinks themed to Icons and snacks.

Guaranteed admissions to Cabana Bay Resort guests will be priority, with guests from other on-site resorts being able to sign up for a stand-by line. Your room key will be required for the Jack’D Up experience.

Together in one house for the first time ever, Jack the Clown, The Storyteller, The Caretaker and many more have joined forces – some newly risen to true Icon status – to form a monstrous Hell of Fame.

The houses announced this morning are…….

Welcome to Scary: Horror in the Heartland

The town placed a sign at the entrance to Carey, Ohio, saying it’s a nice place to live. Unfortunately nobody lives here very long. No one escapes from Carey, where bad things just happen, and new terrors rain down year after year.

• If it claws, bites, feasts on blood, or just likes to rip people to shreds, it somehow finds its way to Carey.
  
• Experience an endless parade of unimaginable terrors, from horrifying creatures to bloodthirsty maniacs.
  
• You can scream all you want in Carey. But everybody’s too busy doing their own screaming to pay much notice.

The Wicked Growth: Realm of the Pumpkin

An evil rot has taken root in the land. It’s time once again for the rise of the Pumpkin Lord who grows Halloween like a malignant vine. His minions are scouring the countryside, collecting unwilling sacrifices in order to summon the Pumpkin Lord.

• The closer to Halloween, the more people practice the traditions, the greater the powers of the Pumpkin Lord grow.
• As the pumpkins grow ever bigger, your fear grows ever greater, and your odds of escape grow smaller.
• From the cemetery to the forest, there’s no breaking free from the tenacious vines of the merciless Pumpkin Lord.

Puppet Theatre: Captive Audience

You’re about to discover the sinister reality behind the seemingly innocent childhood tradition. All children must give up their baby teeth to the goblinesque tooth fairies or pay a gruesome price. It’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

• Step into an old manor house that has been swarmed by yellow-clawed fiends, dripping with blood, teeth and gore.
• Grit your teeth as you see the evil fairies extract their toothed bounty by force while their victims struggle in vain.
• Hold in your screams or risk exposing your own teeth to their monstrous grasping claws.

Revenge of the Tooth Fairy

Open scene: A creepy abandoned old theater from early 1900s San Francisco. A puppeteer and a ballet troupe have been trapped there ever since, and they’d kill for an audience. Whether you’re a puppet or a patron, that’s your cue to scream.

• All the blood will drain from your face as you see the Green Room run red with blood.
• Your horror grows as you come upon grotesque living marionettes made from severed limbs.
• If you manage to escape their gory puppetry, then you’ll become a part of the skeletal audience rotting in place.

The scare zones are……..

And the shows………

* 08/13/2021* New The Texas Chainsaw Massacre merchandise made it to the Five & Dime. It was supposed to be out yesterday, but there was an issue.

*Updated 09/14/2021* Here is the full Marathon of Mayhem Carnage Factory lagoon show. For a good spot, you’ll want to arrive early. It gets pretty crowded.

***Head over to Theme Park MoJu on Facebook to check out the photos I take while I’m in the park. I have been adding them to an album and there’s quite a lot to see!***
