Halloween Horror Nights fans can officially start making their fall plans. Tickets and vacation packages are now on sale for Halloween Horror Nights 35 at Universal Orlando, with the event set to run on select nights from August 28 through November 1, 2026 at Universal Studios Florida. Universal is promoting this year’s event with the tagline “Let Fear Consume You” as the world’s premier Halloween event returns for its 35th year.
According to Universal Orlando, Halloween Horror Nights 35 will once again feature 10 haunted houses, scare zones, live entertainment, and more, continuing the formula that has made HHN one of the biggest seasonal events in theme park entertainment. For fans who wait all year for fog, chainsaws, and questionable cardio choices while speed-walking through scare zones, ticket sale day is basically a holiday.
Halloween Horror Nights 35 Dates for 2026
This year’s event will take place on select nights from August 28 through November 1, 2026. That gives guests a long event window to plan around, but historically, the most popular nights and premium experiences can become limited as Halloween season gets closer.
HHN 35 Ticket Prices and Add-Ons
Guests looking to attend Halloween Horror Nights 35 will have several ticket and upgrade options to choose from.
Single-Night Tickets
Single-night tickets start at around $88, with pricing varying by event date. Lower-demand nights usually come in cheaper, while weekends and peak dates tend to be higher.
Premium Scream Night
Universal is also offering Premium Scream Night on August 27 or October 19, 2026. This special ticketed experience includes shorter wait times than regular event nights along with select all-you-care-to-enjoy food and non-alcoholic beverages. Pricing is around $400 per person.
Unmasking the Horror
For fans who want a lights-on look inside select haunted houses, Unmasking the Horror daytime tours start at around $100.
R.I.P. Tour
For guests who want front-of-the-line access and a more premium event experience, the R.I.P. Tour starts at about $400.
Scream Early Ticket
Universal is also selling the Scream Early option again this year, priced at $70, which allows guests to enter Universal Studios Florida before Halloween Horror Nights officially begins.
Why This Matters for HHN Fans
The big story here is simple: HHN 35 is officially on sale, and that means planning season has begun. Whether you are aiming for a lower-cost single-night visit or going all out with Premium Scream Night or a R.I.P. Tour, now is the time to start locking in dates and deciding how much horror your budget can survive. Universal has already confirmed the event’s core offerings and ticket options, making this the clearest sign yet that Halloween season at Universal Orlando is fully underway.
For frequent HHN visitors, this is also the point where strategy starts to matter. Some guests will want the cheapest date possible, while others may prioritize lower wait times, behind-the-scenes tours, or bundled premium experiences. With the event celebrating its 35th anniversary, demand should be strong across the season. That last point is an inference based on the anniversary marketing and breadth of ticket offerings, not a direct Universal statement.
Final Thoughts
Halloween Horror Nights 35 is shaping up to be a major fall event at Universal Orlando, and now that tickets are on sale, fans can finally start building out their plans for the 2026 season. From single-night admission to Premium Scream Night, Unmasking the Horror, R.I.P. Tours, and Scream Early, there are more ways than ever to customize your HHN visit.
