Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights is serving up a spooky menu!
The annual event begins Sept. 2 and will continue offering frights and fun through Oct. 31. In addition to visiting the haunted houses, scare zones and live shows, guests will have a chance to taste some of the park's unique Halloween-inspired food and drinks.
Since Halloween Horror Nights is celebrating its 31st year, the overarching theme is Traditional Halloween — and the food options deliver all the holiday's creepy-crawly vibes. The menu lineup will include some of the annual favorites, along with new items inspired by this run's classic theme. Here are several of the dishes available at the park this Halloween season.
