ORLANDO, Fla. — It was a dark and stormy night for the kickoff evening of Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights. A few rounds of downpours left Friday’s sellout crowd with fresh, wet frights: the blackened puddles and the soaked sock.
The skies didn’t entirely dampen the enthusiasm of the sellout crowd, which had waited two years for this dose of HHN. The event was called off last year as a coronavirus pandemic precaution.
Senior show producer Charles Gray compared the wait to a holiday meal.
