News: Halloween Horror Nights Cancelled at Universal Orlando Resort & Universal Studios Hollywood

Credit: Universal

We previously shared Walt Disney World’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is cancelled for 2020. It looks like Disney’s neighbor, Universal, is following suit.

The statement as shared on Universal’s website is as follows:

“Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood have made the difficult decision to not hold Halloween Horror Nights events this year. Universal Orlando Resort will be focusing exclusively on operating its theme parks for daytime guests, using the enhanced health and safety procedures already in place. Universal Studios Hollywood continues to face ongoing business restrictions and uncertainty around its opening timeframe. We know this decision will disappoint our fans and guests. We are disappointed, too. But we look forward to creating an amazing event in 2021.”
