23 more days until Halloween Horror Nights will open the gates of hell and unleash horror upon their guests. Universal Orlando is now into full swing with getting ready for the event. Advertising is just about in full swing as billboards for the event taunt you along the sides of the roadways and they have announced the final house (as of last night).
Universal Orlando now officially has their tours on sale for the event, with some minor changes to previous years.
