Crowds outside HHN in 2019.
Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood will not have Halloween Horror Nights this year, as the impact of COVID-19 creates new challenges for theme parks.
The 30th anniversary of the event, Halloween Horror Nights 2020 was set to take place from Sept. 10 to Oct. 31, bringing 10 new haunted houses, scare zones, live entertainment, and more.
Universal Orlando Resort will be “focusing exclusively on operating its theme parks for daytime guests, using the enhanced health and safety procedures already in place,” the company said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios Hollywood continues to face ongoing business restrictions and uncertainty around its opening timeframe.
