Halloween Horror Nights 35 Tickets Are on Sale — Here’s What to Know

If you’ve been waiting to lock in your Halloween Horror Nights 35 plans, now’s the time. Universal Orlando just dropped single-night tickets and a handful of event add-ons, and there are some new options this year that are worth knowing about before you buy.

Here’s a full breakdown of Halloween Horror Nights 35 tickets, pricing, and what’s new for 2026.

Quick Summary

• HHN 35 runs select nights from August 28 – November 1, 2026 at Universal Studios Florida
• Single-night tickets range from $88 to $130
• Express Passes start at $170 and go up to $280 on peak nights
• Premium Scream Night expands to two nights this year at $399 per person
• The Scream Early ticket now includes daytime park admission
• Multi-night passes like the Frequent Fear Pass are not yet available

HHN 35 Single-Night Ticket Prices

Single-night tickets are now available and priced based on the date you choose.

• General admission: $88–$130 depending on the night
• Express Pass: $170–$280 depending on demand

The cheaper dates tend to be early in the run or on weeknights. If you want to save money, grab one of those $88 nights in late August or September. Peak nights — think weekends in October — will push you toward that higher end fast.

Multi-night options like the Frequent Fear Pass aren’t on sale yet, but they’re expected to go live later this year. If that’s your plan, keep an eye out.

Add-Ons and Upgrade Options

Universal is offering several ways to level up your HHN 35 experience beyond a standard ticket.

RIP Tour

Starting at $400, the RIP Tour gives you a guided, VIP-style experience through the event with front-of-line access and a dedicated guide. It’s not cheap, but if you hate lines and want to see everything in one night, it’s the most efficient way to do it.

Unmasking the Horror Tours

These behind-the-scenes tours run during the day before the event opens. Two options are available:

• 3-House Tour: Starts at $99, begins August 21
• 6-House Tour: Starts at $199, begins August 28 — lunch is included

If you’re a superfan who wants to see how the haunted houses are built before guests flood in, this is a genuinely cool add-on.

Premium Scream Night

This one’s new and expanded for 2026. Premium Scream Night now covers two nights — August 27 and October 19 — at $399 per person.

It’s a limited-capacity event, so the crowds are much lighter than a regular HHN night. You get shorter waits and all-you-care-to-enjoy select food and beverage options included. If October 19 works with your schedule, that mid-event date is a great pick.

What’s New: Scream Early Ticket

The Scream Early ticket got a solid upgrade this year. At $70, it now includes:

• Access to three haunted houses starting at 2 PM
• Daytime admission to Universal Studios Florida before the event begins

That’s a real value add. You used to get early house access — now you get a full day at the park on top of it. Note that you still need a separate HHN 35 ticket for the main event.

HHN 35 Icons and Houses Announced So Far

Universal Orlando already made some big announcements earlier this week. Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow are both returning as this year’s icons — a fan-favorite pairing that has HHN veterans pumped.

The first haunted house confirmed is Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos and Control, and Universal has said there will be 10 total haunted houses for HHN 35. More announcements are expected in the coming months.

Should You Buy Tickets Now?

If you already know your dates, yes — buy now. Early dates tend to sell out, and the cheapest single-night tickets won’t last. The same goes for the Unmasking the Horror Tours, which have limited capacity and fill up fast.

If you’re flexible and hoping for a multi-night pass, you can wait. The Frequent Fear Pass and similar options should be available later this year, and those typically offer better value if you’re planning multiple nights.

Either way, Halloween Horror Nights 35 runs August 28 through November 1, 2026 — and based on the icon reveal and first house announcement, this year is shaping up to be a great one.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
