One Big Reason Halloween Horror Nights 2022 Will Be DIFFERENT in Universal Orlando

Are you headed to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando this year?

Halloween Horror Nights decor is out!

We’ve been following along with what haunted houses and scare zones will be at the event this year, as well as what merchandise you can grab for yourself. But if you attended the event last year and will be attending again this year, you’ll notice one BIG difference.

According to Orlando Sentinel, there will be no plastic dividers between the performers/scare actors and guests at this year’s event. In 2020 and 2021, plastic dividers were used to limit the spread of COVID-19, but the dividers will be gone this year as the event is returning to its more “normal” operations.

Last year, the barriers were placed in areas where the performers would get in close contact with crowds of guests in the narrow corridors that exist in some of the haunted houses. This year, those barriers will be gone.

Spooky!

Last year, face coverings were mandated for all Halloween Horror Nights workers, whereas they are optional for event employees this year. The annual Halloween haunt, which draws thousands every year, begins this Friday night.
