For example, The Weeknd's house was a fun but spooky dance party at one point, while The Horrors of Blumhouse, which draws inspiration from 'Freaky' and 'The Black Phone,' was one long drawn-out anxiety attack. Would I make it out in one piece, or would this first-timer be too afraid to experience all that the theme park has to offer when night falls and it embraces its spooky setting? I stepped inside the fog to find out.Īll of the houses are 'haunted,' but the vibe in each is totally different. So, after intentionally avoiding haunted houses for nearly as long as the run of Halloween Horror Nights, which launched at Universal Orlando Resort 31 years ago, it was time to see if I was brave enough to check out the theme park's 10 haunted houses and five outdoor scare zones. However, I do love a good theme park production. I got separated from my friends inside one for what felt like forever when I was around 12 years old and well. With that established, it'll shock no one that I haven't been to a haunted house in about three decades. My version of Halloween is usually a not-so-scary approach involving a smiling pumpkin and Charlie Brown.

I don't watch scary movies and even skip ahead through the scarier scenes in some PG and PG-13 TV shows.

When it comes to spooky-themed entertainment, I'm a wuss. The opinions expressed below are entirely hers and weren’t subject to review by any entity. Editor’s note: TPG’s Summer Hull traveled to and attended a media event for Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights as a guest of the theme park.
