Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood Announces First-Ever Fan Preview Night

Universal Studios, Universal City, CA

It’s never too early to start thinking about Halloween, and yesterday, Universal Studios Hollywood put the scariest time of the year on the forefront of fans when they announced a fan preview night for the first time in Halloween Horror Nights history! This year, on Thursday, September 12, guests will be able to visit Horror Nights before its official opening night and check out the haunts that will be offered for the 2019 season.

Tickets will be limited to this event, which will probably help with the wait times and crowds, and guests might have a chance to catch celebrities attending as part of the red carpet event occurring the same evening. It sounds a lot like what has traditionally happened on HHN’s media night, which has traditionally coincided with opening night on the middle Friday of September. In this case, limited tickets are available to Horror Nights die-hards as well!

This year promises to be the biggest ever, with TEN mazes being offered (and only four officially announced so far—three of them new). You can get your tickets for this special night now. More information follows below!
