Revenge of the Tooth Fairy

The innocent traditions of the tooth fairy hide a darker ritual. All children must give up their baby teeth to the goblinesque tooth fairies or pay a gruesome price. Step into an old manor that has been overrun by yellow-clawed fiends who extract teeth by force. It’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives

“We belong dead.” The last words of Frankenstein’s monster on that fateful night when his Bride rejected him. But his end was her beginning. Now the Bride is stepping out of the shadows to bring him back. And there’s nothing she won’t do as she sharpens her brilliance by experimenting on unsuspecting victims. The mate will have her monster. And the monster his mate.


Virtual Line will be available for the haunted houses, meaning that guests can use the official Universal Orlando app to choose a return time to experience them during the park’s regular daytime hours. The haunted houses may be too intense for young children and aren’t recommended for those under the age of 13, so be sure to keep that in mind if you plan to check them out with your family.

The health and safety measures in place at Universal Orlando Resort will also be applied to the haunted houses, including:

  • Face coverings
  • Social distancing guidelines in the queue and haunted houses themselves
    • Plexiglass will also be installed in various areas to keep separation from scareactors
  • The use of hand sanitizer will be required before entering each haunted house, and will be available upon exit
  • Managing guest flow in the haunted houses, and capacity will be limited

Team members will be the first to experience this seasonal test offering, as there will be a special preview this Friday morning. Limited reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are required; there will be no standby queue. Team members are limited to one time slot each.

Premier Passholders will also have a chance to experience the haunted houses on Friday, Sept. 18 as part of a special preview. Registration will open on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at noon, and is required for the experience. Space is limited and online reservations are also first-come, first-served. You can learn more and sign up when the reservation window opens here. Non-registered Premier Passholders will not be able to experience the houses.

In addition to the scares, guests are encouraged to visit Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure in their best Halloween costumes this weekend only. There will also be trick-or-treating at participating retail stores in Islands of Adventure for guests ages 12 and younger – pumpkin stickers will mark each location.

For now, this seasonal experience is only being tested this weekend. If successful, it is possible we could see it return at a later date. As Halloween Horror Nights was canceled this year, this seems to be as close as HHN fans will get to the haunt experience they know and love.

  1. Are the haunted houses only going to be avail the weekend of the 19th? Or will they be offered on every weekend?

  2. Plexiglass?? Why do it at all? I’m sorry but as avid Halloween Horror Night fans, this may be necessary for safety, but with already low attendance and issues of social distancing, what the f*** is Universal thinking?

    1. Maybe something is better than nothing? Maybe if it’s successful they can give a couple people their jobs back? Just enjoy it
