Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights is considered one of the best Halloween events in the country. The Orlando version will be turning 22 this year, and they have a bunch of new scares for guests to enjoy.

As we mentioned earlier this month, Halloween Horror Nights highlights this year will include haunted houses/mazes themed to The Walking Dead and Silent Hill, as well as ones designed by Alice Cooper and Penn and Teller.

Last night at midnight, full details were released on the event’s Facebook page.

Besides the four new houses/mazes, one of the biggest pieces of news is that Universal has done away with the “scare zones.” According to the park:

“And we’ve got a completely reinvented street experience… They will find you and invade your personal space like never before. There will be no boundaries. The rules of the past will no longer apply.

If touring the various houses and mazes at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights isn’t enough, UO is now offering special tours that either let you jump the lines and/or take you behind the scenes.

There are four tours, and they are an additional cost beyond your regular HHNXXII admission.

Private RIP Tours:

You and up to 9 guests will participate in a guided walking tour that will include front-of-line access to all of the haunted houses and select attractions in the park. It also includes valet parking, RIP lounge access, reserved seating for “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure,” plus coffee and bottled water at the end of the tour.

Price: Between $1,500 and $1,800 per group, depending on the night.

Non-Private RIP Tours:

If you don’t have a huge group, you can still get in on a tour. You and your party will be mixed with other non-private groupings, capping out at 12 people per tour. Non-privates only get two regular attractions thrown in, and the tour ends when your tour group has been to “Bill and Ted,” every house, and the two chosen regular attractions. This tour will last between 2-4 hours.

Price: Between $150 and $175 per person, depending on the night.
