Halloween Horror Nights 31 scare zones ranked: Best frights lurking in the fog

After passing through the gates, guests at Universal Orlando understand that there is nowhere to hide during Halloween Horror Nights. As the Pumpkin Lord welcomes everyone, the fog starts to cloud the night. That first step might come with excitement but each turn is slightly more trepidatious by the end of the night. Which Halloween Horror Nights 31 scare zones offer the most engaging experience?

Halloween Horror Nights 31 is a blend of original storytelling and well-known characters. Although guests are encouraged to bring their scare squad as support to handle all fights, there are few places to hide. Even if the Wizarding World can offer a moment of respite, that small reprieve is only a moment or two.

Picking a favorite Halloween Horror Nights 31 scare zone is just a personal opinion and one night’s particular experience. From the scare actors’ portrayals to the others experiencing the scare zone, many factors combine together to make it memorable.

From frights to storylines, Halloween Horror Nights 31 scare zones ranked.

5. Sweet Revenge, New York

Remember the old saying about not taking treats from strangers? This confectionery world has a little extra mischief mixed into that sugary world. The carnival has gone awry. It might seem like a fun midway but be careful of those food options. A treat may have an extra ingredient that is not found in grocery stores.

4. Scarecrow: Cursed Soil, Central Park

While it might not be children of the corn, this field is not for the faint of heart. Some of the inhabitants are looking to seek revenge for that field pillaging. Stepping into the bushes might seem innocent enough, but there might be no escape.

3. Horrors of Halloween, Production Central

As the first experience welcoming unsuspecting guests, this scare zone is overseen by the Pumpkin Lord. Even though Little Boo might welcome the opportunity to join the big scare, the other guests may not want all the extra victors in their realm. If you look up, be careful of that chainsaw sneaking behind you.

2. Conjure the Dark, San Francisco

A wicked spell is taking over this area of Halloween Horror Nights 31. A dark army is recruiting new members. The menacing group will only take one answer to their question. It is better to succumb than fight an impossible battle.

1.  Graveyard: Deadly Unrest, Hollywood

While a graveyard might be peaceful to some, this vignette has a hidden agenda behind the gates. The gothic graveyard is visually stunning with its details. Cast in the fog, the undead rise to seek their revenge. Is giving up a soul the price to pay for this walk through the darkness?

Halloween Horror Nights 31 runs now through October 31 on select nights. Special tickets are required and should be purchased in advance.
