Reminiscing Halloween. Where to spend Halloween.
Each year, Halloween widens its reach here, in Australia, compared to the past.
I will always remember the Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and Orlando.
We ventured out and did a night at both in 2014.
We screamed and laughed so much.
I thought the Mike Myers House in Orlando was the scariest.
But then, there was the clowns chasing us with their chainsaws.
At HHN in Orlando, we had tickets during the day to both parks. So, we were allowed to stay within the park in the Harry Potter area when the park closed. Then, as HHN opened. We started the houses from the back of the park. And, we moved towards the front and opposite to the crowds.
I think it was when we got to the third and fourth houses,. That, we were caught up in the long queues waiting to get inside. Even, the fast past queues were long.
By the end of the day, my feet were so sore. As, we had walked all day and night. And, I could hardly walk.
Fortunately, we had a boat ride back to the hotel.

Woah! Those places look intense! My Dad and brother always used to pick out a haunted house to go to on Halloween! I think they would have loved those locations!
Sounds like they would have loved the experience, Brianna
I love Halloween. This sounds like fun.
It sure is a different experience, Ashley
Fun! We visited Universal for Halloween years ago before kids and it was so much fun! The last few years it’s been more of a Disney Halloween – still fun, just not at all scary.
I find HHNs fun and scary too. We don’t really have something like that here.
Halloween is our second favorite holiday! We like to go all out!
Cool, sounds like fun, Courtney
Clowns with chainsaws? Oh, heck no! I would have been petrified! I’m glad it was all in fun for Halloween.
Yes, they were, Shirley. We ran away from the clowns.
That’s great! We don’t have much around here because we are so close to Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando.
That’s cool, Lauren. After the experience, I can see why.
Thankgooned for the boat ride home. My feet would have been sore too.
Yes, Missy. The boat was a welcome sight.
Beautiful images!
Thank you Lisa
I loved Harry Potter World when my family visited not at Halloween, so I bet it was even more magical in October.
Sounds like you enjoyed Harry Potter as much as we did, Jordan. It was cool to sit & wait for HHN at the end of the day and drink Butterbeer.
This is crazy! Very cool.
It’s an unique experience. Thank you , Taci.
Huge fan of Harry Potter I would love to check it out during Halloween
Universal’s parks at Orlando are cool. When we were there, the HHN part wasn’t in the Harry Potter area, Adrian.
I never really got into haunted houses, but maybe I haven’t been to the right ones! Cool artwork!
Thank you, Lori. They are an unique experience.
Cool images! Halloween looks like a fun time to visit!
Yes, it was lots of fun, kmf
Our son did horror nights at Universal Hollywood and Loved it…also did Knotts Scary Farm. Those themed nights are great fun for sure
Cool. It’s an unique experience.
Cool pictures! I’ve never been to Orlando during a holiday. I’d love to, someday. Since I’m a teacher, I may have to wait until I retire before I can make it for Halloween. It looks so fun!
Thank you Stacey. That makes it hard to visit then. Hope you do get there one day.
I HATE being scared! I’ll stick with a more cheerful Halloween maybe Disney? HA! Great images!
It’s not for everyone. We wanted to go to the Disney one, too.
I’m not into the scary side of Halloween so I go for more of the fun side. I would, however, love to go to Disney for Halloween.
We wanted to go to the Disney one too.
Lol! I lived in Orlando and loved HHNO every year. Scared the pee out of me 😱
That would have been cool. We were scared & laughed too.
I’ve never been a fan of Halloween but my kids just love the dressing up part.
it’s cool that your kids like to dress up.
I love what you have done with the pics!
Thank you Amanda
We love Halloween Horror Nights!! We’ve been going for the RIP Tour for about 6 years now for a work event!! You are right, scary and funny!!
That’s cool Julie
