History

Historical Context

Universal Studios introduced its first Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando in 1991, following Six Flags’ 1986 Fright Fest debut. Both events tapped the growing commercial appeal of Halloween—a holiday that, since the 20th-century rise of costume parties and haunted attractions, has become a major revenue driver for theme parks. The 2026 Ozzy Osbourne haunted house revives that model.
