If you’re heading to Universal Studios Hollywood for Halloween Horror Nights this year, you might want to arrive hungry. The park is bringing back its Halloween Horror Nights Dining Pass while introducing a massive lineup of themed food and drinks inspired by this year’s haunted houses and attractions.
Halloween Horror Nights runs on select nights from Sept. 3 through Nov. 1, and Universal’s culinary team, led by Executive Chef Julia Thrash, has cooked up a menu that goes well beyond the usual theme park fare.
The Halloween Horror Nights Dining Pass includes two eligible entrées and four additional snacks, desserts, sides or beverages at participating locations. Look for the Dining Pass logo when deciding what to devour.
And judging by this year’s menu, there is going to be plenty to choose from.
Sinners, Surfers and Some Seriously Strange Food
The Lower Lot is getting a particularly heavy dose of horror themed grub. Surfer Boy Pizza will serve personal pepperoni and cheese pizzas, along with the Hellfire Club Spicy Italian Sandwich and Steve’s Smuggled Peanut Butter Bites.
Over at City Snacks, the Sinners-inspired menu includes Remmick’s Burnt Ends with black garlic whiskey BBQ sauce and jalapeño cornbread, along with chicken wings, pecan and whiskey bread pudding and the appropriately named I Lied to You, I Love the Blues-berry drink.
The Sinners theme continues at Mulligan’s Bar, where guests can find drinks including Prohibition Punch, Juke Juice and the Pale, Pale Moon Ale Shandy.
Then things get downright metal at Ozzy’s Bar.
The Prince of Darkness gets his own food and drink lineup, including Bark at the Naan, a chicken tikka masala naan taco, the Crazy Train Chickpea Curry Burrito and The Prince of Darkness Cake. There’s also I Just Want You… & Tacos, along with cocktails including the Bark at the Moon Mule and Blizzard of Ozz-arita.
Art the Clown Gets His Own Menu
Of course, there was no way Universal was going to let Art the Clown terrorize the park without giving him some food real estate.
Clown Cafe is serving Death by Cheese Stick, Bloodbath Brisket Fries and Clown Cafe Cauliflower Bites, while the dessert menu gets downright nasty with the Gut Wound chocolate raspberry croissant pull-apart.
You can wash it down with Root in Evil or Art’s Killer Cold Brew, the latter made with bourbon, amaro, cold brew coffee, vanilla syrup and sweet cream cold foam, topped with a chocolate Art the Clown hat.
Art also gets his own Tinsel Bar, where the Christmas themed cocktails include Silent Night Slasher, Mistletoe Massacre and Frosty Night.
Because apparently nothing says Christmas spirit like Art the Clown.
Dia de los Muertos, Evil Dead and Fortnite
Universal Plaza will once again get into the Dia de los Muertos spirit with beef birria tacos, esquites, pineapple spears and a Salsa Verde Walking Taco. The drinks go considerably harder, with options including La Siguanaba Spicy Margarita, El Cadejo Mangorita and the Muerte Michelada.
Fans visiting Evil Dead Burn can grab a Severed & Smoked Chicken at Mummy Eats, while Killer Snacks near Hellraiser and Evil Dead Burn will offer Skin & Chips Nachos and Open the Box, a sinisterly sour donut bite with blue raspberry filling.
Fortnite also gets in on the action at Tower Snacks, where the menu includes Slurp Juice, a Zero Point Pretzel, The Final Peel and the massive Battle Bus Dog.
Meanwhile, Treehouse of Horror takes over select Springfield restaurants with Halloween themed Simpsons fare, including Sloppy D’oh, Worst.Brat.Ever!, Road Scrapin’s, Pumpkin Spice Cold Boo and the Mmm…Forbidden Pumpkin Donut.
And if you’re still looking for something sweet, the Chocolate Raspberry Bloody Cookie will be available at various locations.
And Yes, There’s Merch
Universal isn’t stopping at food.
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights merchandise lineup includes new Art the Clown apparel featuring his signature sunflower sunglasses, a Killer Klowns from Outer Space backpack, Sinners inspired clothing, a retro Stranger Things varsity jacket and crossbody bag, Hellraiser apparel and accessories, plus new Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness merchandise and collectible drinkware.
There is also a Hello Kitty Chucky Strawberry Cheesecake Sundae available at Studio Scoops, because apparently even Chucky has entered the dessert business.
With Halloween Horror Nights 2026 bringing back returning favorites alongside new haunted houses and experiences, Universal has clearly decided that surviving the night isn’t enough. You’re going to need to eat your way through it too.
Halloween Horror Nights 2026 runs select nights Sept. 3 through Nov. 1 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
