As a journalist who covers theme parks and lives in Central Florida, I often joke that the spooky season is my Super Bowl.
From family-friendly Halloween parties at Disney World to jump-scare-filled haunted houses at SeaWorld, my family starts making its seasonal rounds in late August. But there’s one event that stands above the rest: Halloween Horror Nights, or HHN, at Universal Studios Florida.
This year alone, my family will spend over $3,000 attending the scary but fun event — and that’s not even the most we’ve spent in a single season.
Here’s why we invest so much in HHN and why I think it’s the best theme-park Halloween event.
