On days that Univerasl Studios hosts Halloween horror nights the park closes at 5pm to the regular day guests. For those who already have a single day park ticket or annual pass and are in the parks you will need to head to one of 3 designated holding area while the park is emptied. For those who do not have regular tickets you can purchase a stay and scream ticket for an additional fee, this will allow you to enter the park at 3pm.

You will need to be at one of the three areas before 5pm, each will open the lines to houses before the standard opening time at 6pm. Here are the houses that will open early in each section:
