If you are looking for real thrills and chills this fall, then head out to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. The new level of terror features horror legends that come to life, plus a dangerously devilish dose of frightening favorites, from Killer Klownz to Flesh-Eating Freakz.

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights is an annual event that takes place at both Universal Studios Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood. The spookfest debuted at the Florida theme park in 1991 under the title "Fright Nights, " but was later renamed "Halloween Horror Nights" the following year. The popular Halloween-themed event officially launched at Universal Studios Hollywood in 1997. In addition, to a name change, the event also morphed from being a three-night fest to a major bash that runs for up to 24 nights during the month of October. That's every Friday and Saturday over six consecutive weekends plus a few Thursdays and Sundays. These days Halloween Horror Nights is a hair-raising, all-out scare-a-thon, which features a seemingly endless array of the creepiest costumed characters and hauntingly horrific attractions ever seen at an American theme park.
