Universal Orlando Resort announced it is cooking up a "killer" menu featuring more than 75 items inspired by the macabre lineup at Halloween Horror Nights 2022.
From themed food and beverage locations within the event to tasty offerings with a horrifying twist at select CityWalk locations and Universal hotels, guests can fuel up for the fear with frighteningly good fare across the destination between September 2 and October 31.
Created by Universal Orlando's award-winning chefs and culinary team, the Halloween-themed eats deliver the most expansive selection in Halloween Horror Nights history.
Highlights include the "Save Your Tears" signature cocktail inspired by The Weeknd: After Hours Nightmare, the "Maggot Covered Cheese Dog" inspired by the Bugs: Eaten Alive original haunted house and staples like Pizza Fries, Twisted Taters and more.
The taste of Halloween Horror Nights will bleed into select venues at Universal CityWalk and Universal's hotels, which will also feature menu selections inspired by the season.
At Universal CityWalk, guests can indulge in treats such as the new Black Magic Milkshake at The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen. In addition, all eight Universal hotels will offer Universal Monsters-themed drinks, including The Mummy, The Wolf Man and Dracula.
