Halloween is one of the best times of the year to take a vacation, and travel agents looking to book the most terrifying getaway for their clients should check out Universal Orlando Resort.

Universal Orlando is the home of Halloween Horror Nights, which officially opened September 15 and uses haunted houses, scare zones and live entertainment themed after the hottest movies and television shows to terrify guests.

This year at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights, visitors will find attractions based on American Horror Story, The Shining, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Saw, The Purge, Sinister and Insidious franchises.

Universal offers much more for clients than just terrifying attractions. For travelers looking for a place to stay during the Halloween festivities, Loews Sapphire Falls Resort is the newest resort on the property and offers customers an island escape in Orlando.

As for where to grab a few drinks (to build up the courage to enter the mazes), the Strong Water Tavern is a nautically themed lounge where people can enjoy a bite to eat, sip on a cocktail and prepare for the madness of Halloween Horror Nights.

After a long night of being horrified by the theme park's ScareActors, clients can enjoy more of a relaxing evening at Universal's CityWalk. With a massive selection of restaurants, shops and entertainment, this portion of the facility is friendly for the whole family.

To help clients get the most out of their fall vacations, travel agents can book a Halloween Horror Nights Vacation Package. The package includes a three-night hotel accommodation; one-night admission to Halloween Horror Nights (Sunday - Friday); and a three-park, two-day park-to-park pass with two days free ticket for daytime admission to Universal Studios Florida, Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal's Volcano Bay.

For the more daring clients, the RIP Tours takes visitors through a realm of frightening creatures, terrifying maniacs and a multitude of horrors more ghastly than they can imagine.
