For some, Halloween is as exciting as Christmas. The costumes, the candy, the scary movies—October 31st is their most wonderful time of the year! For fans like this, Universal Studios takes love for Halloween and all that’s scary to another level during Halloween Horror Nights. For 2019, the scary festivities take on an 80s vibe, bringing back to life some of that decade’s scariest movies.
Here’s all you need to know about this premier event…if you’re brave enough!
