Queuing to see The Weeknd only to be presented with the singer-songwriter’s severed head was an experience I doubt could ever be replicated outside of Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights.
The Orlando theme park’s globally-renowned celebration of all things spooky – now in its 31st year – opened to the public on September 2, offering those who are brave enough the chance to meander through 10 themed, live-action haunted houses that have been 365 days in the making.
This year’s houses include a fishing town hit by a siren’s curse, a bug-infested version of the 1950s and an eerily accurate recreation of John Carpenter’s iconic 1978 slasher film, Halloween.
