As Halloween Horror Nights begins in Orlando, we some menus and sneak peeks of food and drinks at the event.
Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) will haunt Universal Studios Florida select nights Aug. 30 – Nov. 3, 2024. Universal Orlando has shared a peek at some of the food and drink menus, which we’ve organized below.
Pizza Fries at Halloween Horror Nights
Universal Orlando has posted most of the food and beverage menu for 2024’s Halloween Horror Nights event in Orlando. We say “most” since we did not see “pizza fries” on the list. Pizza fries will indeed be part of HHN this year, though the specific location remains unconfirmed at the time of this writing. In years past, pizza fries have been served at DreamWorks Imagination Café (previously known as KidZone Pizza Company).
Twisted Taters at Halloween Horror Nights
The traditional savory spiraled potato snack Twisted Taters returns for Halloween Horror Nights 2024 with its own food kiosk in the New York section of the park. The flavors this year are:
- Sour Cream & Chives
- Garlic Parmesan
- Seasoning Salt
Food kiosks inspired by Halloween Horror Nights haunted houses
Experienced visitors to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida know that, in recent years, the food and beverage served during the event often relates directly to HHN’s haunted houses. This year continues that trend, with food and beverage locations themed to nine of the event’s 10 houses (all of them but “The Museum: Deadly Exhibits”).
‘Triplets of Terror’ kiosk menu
The Triplets of Terror food and beverage location expands on the idea of the house by the same name: We are all invited to a birthday party. However, we should be careful about accepting the invitation to the HHN house, even though the food and beverage sound inviting.
Guests can enjoy the following food to pair with the creepy Halloween Horror Nights house, Triplets of Terror:
- Say “Cheese” Burger – $9.99 (All-beef patty on a cheese bun with American cheese, white cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and dill pickle aioli)
- Bloody Goody Bag – $9.99 (Crispy chicken chunks with fries, pepper onion mix, and a bloody good sauce)
- Slashed Siblings Sweet Sampler – $8.49 (Bubblegum mousse ballon, funfetti cupcake, and a chocolate cheesecake cone trio)
The primary beverages at this location will be from the 3 Daughter brand. They are:
- 3 Daughters Brewing A Wake Coffee Blonde
- 3 Daughters Brewing Florida Orange IPA
- 3 Daughters Brewing Rod Bender Amber Ale
The cost of these beverages is $12.25 for a 12 oz. serving. Guests can spend $15.25 for a 20-oz. souvenir cup, which allows $12 refills.
Universal Orlando created a beverage flight for those who cannot decide which beverage to buy. This flight costs $13 and consists of a six-oz. serving of each of 3 Daughters Brewing Beach Blonde Ale, Florida Orange IPA, and Rod Bender Amber Ale.
‘Goblin’s Feast’ kiosk menu (featuring Pumpkin Guts and Ghoul Juice)
The house where the goblins desire to feast on unsuspecting guests inspired some unique menu items. Halloween Horror Nights participants will find the return of a fan favorite, Pumpkin Guts, at this location. Pumpkin Guts ($10.49) consists of butternut squash, zucchini noodles, pumpkin seeds, and vegan butter inside an acorn squash. In addition to Pumpkin Guts, this location offers:
- Harissa BBQ Turkey Wing – $6.99 (Crispy turkey wing coated with a spicy harissa BBQ sauce)
- Goblin Pie – $5.99 (Baked mini apple pie with cinnamon sugar and a bloody raspberry jam)
The returning beverage, Ghoul Juice, can be found at this location and several others at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event. Ghoul Juice consists of Myers’s Dark rum, Bols cherry brandy, simple syrup, mango nectar, lime juice, Dale Degroff’s Pimento Bitters, and Peychaud’s bitters (20-oz. souvenir cup $17.50, refill $13.50, and 12-oz. single serve $13.50). The prices of $17.50 and $13.50 are standard for beverages this year.
‘Major Sweets Candy Factory‘ kiosk menu
A unique Halloween Horror Nights food and beverage location themed to the “Major Sweets Candy Factory” house will serve a returning savory favorite and two sweet treats. This year’s Major Sweets house is built on the backstory created for a previous Halloween Horror Nights scare zone.
Two sugary treats can be found here. They are:
- Poison Apple – $6.49 (Caramel mousse with an apple filling and streusel cake)
- Cyclops Cup – $5.49 (Frozen peanut butter cup with a candy eyeball)
The signature beverage at this location is the Sour Cherry Lemonade Boba. This costs $12.25 and consists of popping lychee boba with sour cherry, twisted gummies, sprinkles, topped with whipped topping, and Sprite. This alcoholic beverage matches the idea of a candy factory.
‘Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America’ kiosk menu
As you might expect from the title, this food and beverage location builds on classic monsters of Latin America. The titles for some of the menu items here reflect gory aspects of that theme. The food and beverage options here are:
- Heart “Beet” Tostada – $7.49 (Red beet tartare with hummus, vegan feta, and watercress on a crispy tortilla)
- Spinal Column Pinchos – $10.99 (Grilled chicken tenders with red chimichurri)

‘Slaughter Sinema 2′ kiosk menu
The narrative of a creepy drive-in theatre presented the Universal Orlando Resort food and beverage team with plenty of directions to go with the menu items. This dining location near the Animal Actors Stage feeds into that theme. This Halloween Horror Nights house is a sequel, so this booth should be very popular.
Guests can order the following at this Halloween Horror Nights location:
- Summer Camp Dog – $ 10.49 (Deep fried all-beef Nathan’s hot dog topped with Tostitos nacho cheese, baked beans, pepper relish, and Doritos crumble)

‘Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines‘ kiosk menu
In the last few years, a food and beverage location has been themed to match the Universal Classic Monsters Halloween Horror Nights house. This year is no exception. These dining locations have presented guests with some excellent options from previous Halloween Horror Nights, and hopefully “Eternal Bloodlines” will do the same this year.
