There are a lot of places to celebrate Halloween around the country every year, but Universal Orlando is certainly hoping you’ll swing by their neck of the woods to help them celebrate 25 years of Halloween Horror Nights. To entice people back to the wilds of Florida, the attraction is bringing back some fan-favorite haunts from the past. In short: They’re banking hard on nostalgia.

From the Press Release:
This year, Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights will celebrate 25 years of scares, screams and terror by bringing back some of the most iconic and blood-curdling stories from event history. This year’s event will feature nine disturbingly-real haunted houses, including one of the highest-rated houses ever, An American Werewolf In London. Guests will also relive their favorite sinister stories from Universal’s Entertainment Team in horrific new ways. Here’s what to expect at this year’s event:

· The return of the fan-favorite house, based on John Landis’s critically-acclaimed horror film, “An American Werewolf in London” – a fiercely-immersive experience that pays homage to one of the greatest lycanthropic stories ever told. This year, the wolves are more ferocious and hungry for human flesh…and their pack has expanded.

· All-new, original houses based on the best and most iconic stories from years past, including ghastly scenes from RUN: Blood, Sweat, and Fears, Asylum in Wonderland 3D, Body Collectors: Recollections and Jack Presents: 25 Years of Monsters and Mayhem.

· More “scareactors” than ever before in five spine-chilling, new scare zones, including the escaped inmates from Psychoscareapy– Unleashed, appearances from past event icons including The Caretaker, The Storyteller, The Director, and The Usher in ICONS – HHN and more.

· Two outrageous live shows, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure and The Carnage Returns­—featuring the favorite and feared icon Jack the Clown.

Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights’ runs from September 18 through November 1. For more information about this year’s attractions, you’ll need to hit up the official website.
