If there’s one thing the gays love more than a triple-threat pop girlie, it’s a decuple-threat Halloween spooktacular. Universal Orlando Resort is back once more with its 34th annual Halloween Horror Nights. Prepare to be shook!

Taking place over select nights from 28 August to 2 November, HHN 34 is set to be bigger and more bloodcurdling than ever before. Guests will encounter 10 all-new haunted houses, based on gruesome IP and haunting original concepts; four scare zones that bring the horror to the streets; a circus and a light show that will knock your socks off; and two all-new street experiences, zombie carhops at Mel’s Die In and undead DJs at Club Horror.

As if there weren’t enough reasons to visit Universal Orlando Resort, with theme parks, hotels and restaurants galore – including the five immersive worlds that make up their incredible brand-new Epic Universe – Halloween Horror Nights is the bloody cherry on top of the viciously delicious cake.

This August, Gay Times was invited to explore the haunts for ourselves. Here are all ten houses ranked, from spooky to down-right terrifying…

10) Five Nights at Freddy’s

Can you survive Five Nights at Freddy’s? Kicking off the list, Universal perfectly recreates Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, right down to the unsettling animatronics of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy (chillingly recreated in collaboration with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop). Whether you’re familiar with the games, films or this is all new to you, it’s sure to give you the creeps – however, it just doesn’t pack the biggest punch.
