The countdown to Halloween is on and thrill-seekers across Florida have spine-tingling events to explore before the scary season ends. With only a few weeks left to experience the frightful fun, your clients won’t want to miss the chilling attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
The Weeknd Haunts the Night
From now until Nov. 2, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood features “The Weeknd: Nightmare Trilogy,” an immersive haunted house that brings to life the hauntingly captivating world of the musical sensation.
Following the success of last year’s “The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare,” this new installment is a blend of horror and music. But the terror doesn’t stop there!
Visitors will experience the “Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse,” exploring the backlot of Universal Studios and encountering chilling characters from Blumhouse Productions, including M3GAN and The Purge. Fans of classic horror will celebrate the 50th anniversary of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” with an all-new haunted house. For those seeking more thrills, the “Purge: Dangerous Waters” attraction offers a rock-fueled, action-packed adventure.
For an elevated experience, your clients can upgrade to the R.I.P. Tour for exclusive access to themed photo ops and the movie set of Nope!
Halloween Horror Nights offers bone-chilling scare zones, such as the “Luchadores Monstrousos” inspired by Lucha Libre horror films, and evade chainsaw-wielding maniacs in “Chainsaw Punkz.” The gothic horrors of the “Skull Lordz” and the creepy “Murder of Crowz” are lurking around every corner. There are also previously announced haunted houses, including “A Quiet Place,” “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” and the terrifying sequel “Monstruous 2: The Nightmares of Latin America.”
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay: A Celebration of Fear
Meanwhile, Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is taking place on select nights from now through Nov. 2.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Howl-O-Scream, the event features five haunted houses, including the Shadows of Wonderland and the Witch of the Woods: Rise of the Coven, along with five new scare zones and entertainment offerings designed to make guests jump out of their seats.
New haunted houses also include Howl-O-Scream 25: Terror Through Time, Tree Lot Massacre, Sawgrass Slaughter: Legend of the Skunk Ape, Little Nightmares: Trick or Treat and Ragnar’s Wrath.
Sinister shows add to the fun with The Reckoning, where good battles evil, and Scar-E-Oke, where guests can take a turn at the mic to sing Halloween favorites.
