Universal Orlando Resort has announced tickets are now on sale for Halloween Horror Nights’ its 35th year, running select nights from August 28 through November 1 at Universal Studios Florida. Tickets, packages, and event upgrades are now available for what the resort describes as its most expansive edition of the event.

The milestone season will feature 10 all-new haunted houses, scare zones, live entertainment, and street experiences spread throughout the park. This year’s theme, “Infernal Carnival of Nightmares,” transforms Universal Studios Florida into a carnival-inspired setting where longtime Halloween Horror Nights icons Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow serve as the event’s central figures. The two characters will also headline a new haunted house titled Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control.

In addition to haunted houses, guests can explore themed food and beverage offerings, special merchandise locations, and several Universal Studios Florida attractions operating during the event.

Guests can now purchase select tickets, upgrades and packages for the 35th anniversary of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando, including:
