We sit and wait, and wait! When will that first announcement come? How long has it been since the last one? The Halloween Horror Nights Orlando Announcement List is an archived list of when it all happened! Now you can remember those days of what was to come at Halloween Horror Nights!
Before 2012 Universal used to reveal everything regarding the event in late August. They would give us teasers, and various interactive things on the webpage leading up to that one night!
We’ve done our best to collect this data from our own and other various sources. If you see something listed incorrectly or have something to add, please contact us.
