00:00Universal Orlando just kicked off its biggest Halloween event yet, and it's celebrating a
00:04milestone. Halloween Horror Nights opened for its 35th year, running on select nights through
00:10November 1st, with one of the most expansive lineups the event has ever had. This year brings
00:1610 new haunted houses, including ones inspired by Stranger Things 5, the vampire horror film
00:21Sinners, and the classic Hellraiser franchise. Alongside four scare zones and live entertainment
00:27scattered across Universal Studios Florida, it's a long way from where the event started back in 1991.
00:33As a three-night event with just a single haunted house, now it's widely considered the world's
00:39premier Halloween event. This year's theme, the Infernal Carnival of Nightmares, is led by
00:45longtime Horror Nights icons Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow, who return as the event's twisted
00:51ringmasters for what organizers are calling one of the scariest lineups yet. Disclosure,
