Special thanks to Universal Orlando Resort for hosting me to explore their parks. This in no way shapes my opinions in this post.
Certain things come to mind when Halloween season rolls around. For me it’s getting to the stores early to shop the coolest finds, planning a fall trip and going to Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights. Last year was the first year that I missed the event having just moved to Atlanta.
So this year I was on a mission to revisit my favorite Orlando attraction for Halloween Horror Nights 27. Need I say mission accomplished. So what did HHN27 have in store and how did it pan out? Read on for my complete review of this year’s event.
My Halloween Horror Nights 27 Review
When you think of squeezing out the cheddar it takes to visit a park like Universal Studios for an evening event, you want to know if it’s worth it. I mean let’s be real. Nothing sucks more than spending your money on something that didn’t deliver. So I’ll give it to you straight from the haunted houses to the booze prices.
The Houses I Experienced
This year HHN27 boasted eight haunted houses themed after a variety of cult horror, pop horror, and original houses. I didn’t have time to make it to all of them (that’s like marathon level), but here are the ones I did go to and what I thought of them:
The Shining
The Shining was my number one favorite of all the houses. I have been a huge fan of this horror classic since I began my horror journey. Stepping into this house was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. As a fan, I had a total appreciation as I stood among recreated elements of the film. And, on the scream level, I screamed more times in this house than any other.
American Horror Story
As one of my favorite shows on TV, American Horror Story, in my opinion, was a long time coming last year when it made its debut. I didn’t get to experience that one, but I am super glad I saw this one. Coming in as my second favorite, American Horror Story had all the feels across multiple environments from various seasons. If you’re a fan you’ll surely recognize all of them. This was another great house for fans.
