Halloween Horror Nights Cancelled At Universal Orlando and Hollywood

“Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood have made the difficult decision to not hold Halloween Horror Nights events this year. Universal Orlando Resort will be focusing exclusively on operating its theme parks for daytime guests, using the enhanced health and safety procedures already in place. Universal Studios Hollywood continues to face ongoing business restrictions and uncertainty around its opening timeframe. We know this decision will disappoint our fans and guests. We are disappointed, too. But we look forward to creating an amazing event in 2021.” The official statement read.

Japan has been focusing on creating a new experience in their haunted drive-ins. These have attendees pull their car into a garage and watch a narrative unfold around them from the safety of their vehicles. Perhaps, we will see some other haunts adopting the same approach for Halloween in the U.S.
2020 would have marked the event’s 30th anniversary.
