Universal Orlando Resort has revealed that Halloween Horror Nights has officially been cancelled at Universal Studios Florida. The event is also cancelled at the still-shuttered Universal Studios Hollywood due to ongoing concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the first time that Universal Orlando Resort will go without the popular event in 30 years.
Ticket and refund details have officially been released, with the promise of the event’s return in 2021:

Our hearts go out to all of the die-hard Halloween Horror Nights fans who were looking forward to their event this year, as well as the hundreds of Scare Actors who will no longer be able to show off their talents at the event this year.
Among other Halloween Horror Nights news from today, the Tribute Store, set to open this morning, is now delayed due to technical difficulties. Hopefully the HHN-themed retail experience will open soon to satiate fans’ needs for spooky goodness and merch.
