August 29, 2012, 9:18 PM · Are you ready for Halloween yet?

Universal Orlando's has released its line-up for Halloween Horror Nights 22 at Universal Studios Florida. This year's houses include:

And if that's not enough for you, Universal says via its Facebook page, "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. Roaming legions of menacing beasts, vampires, prisoners, warriors and more will inhabit every corner of the park. There is no escape."

Tickets to Halloween Horror Nights 22 are $88.99 per night, though add-ons to daytime park tickets start at $36.99 online, and you can get in every night during the first three weeks for just $69.99, using the "Rush of Fear" pass. Here's the ticket link.

HHN comes with considerable cost. Much higher than we experienced when we first moved down here in 2003. Of course, that can be said with everything "theme park" related down here! Parking has gone from $6 to $15 during that same time! We paid just shy of $92 per person for tickets and express passes for the first night of the event. That was the least expensive option (using the Coke UPC code discount offer on the tickets). The express passes were $39.99 for the first Friday and that is the least expensive day of the event. Express passes go for $59.99 the next Friday and $79.99 on the third Friday. It is our opinion unless one wants to spend 80% of their time in queue at this event, one should definitely pony up for the express passes. It will make your night much more enjoyable.

I am excited and hoping the event does for me what it did the first time I went. I just LOVE this time of year down here!

August 30, 2012 at 9:30 AM · Mark, true the cost has gone up way high, but we keep schilling out every year. :) Haven't bought any tickets yet, but will shortly. Anyone ever encounter sell-outs with the Express passes? I'm waiting longer than normal to buy tickets and worry about sellouts.
August 30, 2012 at 12:15 PM · As far as express goes, I always buy the reduced after 11 pass. Its not advertised, but if you go to buy an express after 11:00pm the price is significantally lower. I think last year it was 39.99 for the after 11, when the normal price was 79.99. I have never had any problems with express being sold out either.

September 1, 2012 at 1:39 PM · ^Actually, I am glad they are giving the icon thing a rest. The past 4 years haven't had great theming, with the exception of Ripped from the Silver Screen. I'm willing to give this shift a chance with the hopes that it will freshen the event up.
September 3, 2012 at 7:46 AM · I think the Walking Dead thing has kinda been overused. I could have sworn there was some experience like this at a convention (Comic Con?). I have a feeling that the Six Flags parks might do it too!

I kinda liked the Icon bit that they did. It gave a good theme.

September 4, 2012 at 7:49 PM · it seems like they kind of just gave up this year. Less houses, bye bye scare zones. I am a huge fan and will not miss a year, but I am quite underwhelmed this year. So far...
