Fright Nights
Fright Nights – The two words that started it all! Universal Studios transformed a theme park into a realm of Horror. Fright Nights quickly became the first chapter in the book of Halloween Horror Nights, spawning from a three-night event in 1991 to what we see today. Fright Nights featured only one haunted house, the “Dungeon of Terror.”
The house was located in the queue of the JAWS attraction, which at the time was shut down for an extensive three-year renovation project, and to this date has been hailed as one of the most detailed and frightening experiences Universal has had to offer.
Fright Nights featured more shows than any Horror Nights event to come. Featuring nearly twenty special event-exclusive shows, there was plenty to entertain, and terrorize, visitors of Universal Studios “Fright Nights.”
