There's going to be a lot competing for guests' attention when Halloween Horror Nights 35 takes over Universal Studios Florida, and Universal Orlando just added another experience to the list.
This one comes with a restriction.
Universal Orlando Annual and Seasonal Passholders will have access to The Keyholder Bar, an exclusive location operating during Halloween Horror Nights event nights.
Unlike most of the food, drinks, and entertainment found throughout the park, not every Halloween Horror Nights guest will be able to enter.
Passholders Have a New Place to Visit at HHN 35
Universal Orlando is opening The Keyholder Bar from August 28 through November 1 on Halloween Horror Nights event nights. The experience will have limited entry and will only be available to guests who can show a valid Universal Orlando Annual or Seasonal Pass.
Passholders looking for the location can head toward the Music Plaza Stage. The entrance will be positioned to the left of the stage.
Inside, Passholders will be able to purchase exclusive beverages.
Universal's announcement gives its most frequent visitors something different to seek out during the event. While Halloween Horror Nights remains centered on its haunted houses and scares, the event has plenty happening outside those experiences.
That's particularly true for HHN 35.
A Huge Halloween Horror Nights Lineup Awaits
Universal Studios Florida will feature 10 haunted houses during Halloween Horror Nights 35.
Guests can experience Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, Evil Dead Burn, Cybergoria, H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular!, INVASION: Alien Abduction, MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals, and Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness.
Jack and Oddfellow are also playing a major role in the overall event.
The theme for HHN 35 is the “Infernal Carnival of Nightmares.” Guests will find Jack and Oddfellow within a scare zone of the same name.
That's far from the only scare zone planned for the event.
FORTNITEMARES, Sideshow of Decay, and Downtown Clowntown are also included in the lineup. Downtown Clowntown brings Art the Clown together with the Killer Klowns from Outer Space, while Mel's Die-In: Zombies and Club Horror return as street experiences.
Guests who want something besides haunted houses and scare zones will have additional options.
A Stranger Things lagoon show is part of the festivities, and Nightmare Fuel: Blood Noir will bring another stage show to Halloween Horror Nights. A Hamikuma meet and greet is making its debut as well.
Universal is also filling the park with themed lounges and food booths.
That makes The Keyholder Bar another piece of a Halloween Horror Nights experience that stretches well beyond waiting in line for haunted houses.
For Passholders, the exclusive location could become another reason to return throughout the season rather than trying to accomplish everything during one visit.
The biggest detail to remember is the entry requirement. Guests who want to visit The Keyholder Bar need a valid Universal Orlando Annual or Seasonal Pass.
The experience starts August 28 and continues on Halloween Horror Nights event nights through November 1, giving eligible Passholders much of the season to see what Universal has created.
