Universal Orlando‘s Halloween Horror Nights will be here before we know it! This special ticketed event lets the bravest of guests have a thrilling fright with terrifying haunted houses, spooky live entertainment, and more!

But we have a chilling surprise for you — tickets are on sale right now!
Halloween Horror Nights 35 will begin on August 28th, 2026. This is the earliest start date ever! The last night will be November 1st, the day after Halloween. The event is held nightly from Wednesday through Sunday at Universal Studios Florida. Single-night tickets start at $88, going up to $130.

Due to high demand, you may have to wait in a virtual queue to purchase tickets. Here are the current single-night ticket prices:
August

September

October

November

These single-night tickets will only get you into Universal Studios for the Halloween Horror Nights event. If you’d like to upgrade, you can get admission plus free parking, all-you-can-eat food and non-alcoholic drinks, and shorter wait times with a Halloween Horror Nights Premium Scream Night ticket.
This ticket type is only available on August 27th and October 19th, with prices starting at $399.

Want a VIP horror experience? Enter the R.I.P. Tour. Tickets start at $400 for the tour, and you would need to purchase regular admission to Halloween Horror Nights in addition. The price includes VIP entry to each haunted house, Express Pass Unlimited Access for attractions, a reception, a keepsake to take home, valet parking, and more.

The Unmasking the Horror Tour is also back this year for anyone who ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at Horror Nights. Starting on August 21st, you can tour the Haunted Houses for $99.99. Theme park tickets and/or Halloween Horror Nights tickets are NOT included in the price.

Universal’s Scream Early Ticket looks different this year! Instead of entering the park early, riding a few attractions, and then waiting in line to get into the haunted houses, things are changing for 2026. After 2 PM, you can enter the park with this ticket, and you’ll get early access to at least three haunted houses! This ticket allows you to stay through regular park closing, so if you want to experience everything Horror Nights has to offer, you’ll want to purchase an event ticket as well. Prices start at $70!

Finally, Halloween Horror Nights Express Pass has returned as an add-on to your ticket. It starts at $170 per person on top of the ticket price, but allows you to skip those hours-long lines at each house once. While it’s not cheap, we’ve found this to be worth it year after year!
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights 35 will be hosted by Halloween Horror Nights icon Jack the Clown, and his legendary rival, Dr. Oddfellow, who will band together to scare Universal Studios guests. In the new haunted house, Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, the long‑standing conflict between Jack and Oddfellow comes to life for the first time as guests journey into the unsettling origins of their undying rivalry. As chaos and control collide, the two Icons battle for dominance until they ultimately discover that the only way to obtain the power they seek is not to fight each other, but to join forces instead.

We’re so excited to get tickets to Halloween Horror Nights this fall. Stay tuned to AllEars for more Universal news!
