Universal Studios Florida’s existing lands transform into spooky, startling, party spots called scare zones. These themed spaces are found at the front of the park, Hollywood, New York, San Francisco, and Central Park areas of the park. Scare zones use fog, lighting, sound, scare actors, and special effects to startle and scare guests. Here are the announced scare zones for this year’s event:

• Infernal Carnival of Nightmares – Immediatley inside HHN are the event’s icons’, Jack and Oddfellow, preview of things to come. This carnival features all the characters seen at this year’s event plus some surprises.
• Sideshow of Decay – Located in Hollywood, a portal to HHNs past is opened in a desolate carnival where the fogotten HHN icon Cindy brings back the legends of HHNs past.
