The scares are the point — the parking lot at midnight shouldn't be part of the experience.
Halloween Horror Nights returns to Universal Studios Hollywood for 42 select nights between September 3 and November 1, 2026, with gates opening at 7 p.m. It's one of the most popular after-hours events in Southern California, and getting a group there and back safely takes a bit more planning than a daytime park visit.
Why HHN Crowds Are Different
Because it's an after-hours, separately-ticketed event running across dozens of nights, popular dates sell out well in advance, and the parking structures fill up fast once the event gets going. Add in the fact that most of the night happens in the dark, and navigating a packed structure back to your car isn't anyone's favorite way to end a night of scares.
Group Rides for Scare Squads
A party bus or stretch vehicle keeps your whole group together for the ride over, which matters when you're coordinating costumes or just don't want to split into multiple cars for a night out. It also means no one has to volunteer as the sober driver and miss out on the fun.

Late-Night Pickup Logistics
HHN nights often run well past midnight, so a scheduled pickup — or a driver who waits for your group — beats trying to summon a rideshare in a crowd of thousands all leaving CityWalk at the same time, phones out, fighting for the same handful of cars.
Booking Tips
Weekend nights and nights close to Halloween sell out fastest, both for HHN tickets and for group transportation. Lock in your ride as soon as you've got your event date confirmed, rather than waiting until the week of.
Quick Booking Tips
Book weekend dates well ahead. They're the first to sell out for both tickets and rides.
Plan for a late pickup. The event often runs past midnight, so confirm a realistic pickup window.
Choose a vehicle sized for your group's costumes. Bulky outfits take up more space than everyday clothes.
