Univeral's show about the blood, gore, and makeup that goes into creating some of film's most scary monsters. The show is full of humor, but much of it involves scares!

While I don't think any theme park show will ever match the caliber of a Disney production, the Universal Horror Make-up Show is definitely one of the best non-Mickey performances. It's more of a comedic sketch than a tutorial on horror make-up, but you still come away with some good info nonetheless. If you need a break from the rides or the heat, this is a perfect place to take a breather. It is one of the funnier shows you will experience. Parents of younger children do need to be cautious. There is a bit of gore, some scary elements, and the majority of the humor is crude. If you can handle the material though, this is a show not to be missed. 8 out of 10. - Joshua Bixler

A surprisingly funny and engaging show about horror make up, prosthetics and CGI which is missed by too many guests. 8/10 - Mark Doherty

HA, very funny, best show at USF. - David Shaul

The hidden gem of Universal Studios Florida. - Sean Huckel

Nice change of pace this year with female actors. - Rob Pastor

Good show. Very funny but I wish it was a little more informative about movie makeup and effects. - Jake Peffer

This is not to be missed. Our family has seen it at least 20 times over the last ten years...it never gets old. Especially if the blonde guy is in it (I've seen him as both host and "special guest"). - Thomas tskogg

One of the hidden gems of Universal if not all of Orlando. This is a most see for any trip to Universal as this show is more comedy than horror - robert morris

It had some funny moments, depending on the actors. It had little to no real info about horror makeup which was let down. Not something for repeat visits. - Skipper Adam

Great fun to watch for all ages. Belly laughs all the way through! - Peter Coulton

An excellent show, sadly overlooked by more than a few. Perfectly captures the original spirit of the park. - Man-Eating Sharks

Humorous fun. 7/10 - D H
