ThemeParkHipster HHN Icons Ranking List

SMACKDOWN: 10 Best Halloween Horror Nights Icons EVER!!!

The time of year that most of us has anticipated is upon us. Halloween Season. And nothing’s more important than the Halloween Horror Nights Icons.

With the arrival of this most coveted season that ushers in the brisk weather and rosy red and golden leaves, brings us Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) at Universal Orlando Resort.

Originally beginning as Fright Nights in 1991, with only 1 house and running for 2 nights in October to quickly growing into a two-month long event with 10 houses, 5 scare zones and fabulous entertainment, food and merchandise.

What really sets Halloween Horror Nights apart from the rest is its ability to create fantastical stories that strike fear into the hearts of its guests.

Not only the creativity, but its ability to weave these tales together along with the talented hands of the Universal Creative Team.

In honor of HHN 33, I thought it would be a fun idea to give you the top 10 HHN Icons.

These characters were chosen for their story, significance in the event’s history and votes from the readers! Let’s see if your favorites made the cut!

And if I were you, I wouldn’t read this list in the dark or alone, so maybe share with a friend…
