Halloween Horror Nights Merchandise, Dates, and More Revealed by Universal Orlando Resort

Just moments ago, Universal Orlando Resort revealed stunning new merchandise for its annual highly demanding Halloween event, HHN33, also known as Halloween Horror Nights. Not only that, but the theme park giant also confirmed what rumors had been saying for a few days now: that the event will be stretched out over four months this year instead of the usual two months and a few days.

There is no word yet on a scare zone, which Universal monsters will return if death eaters arrive in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, if Stranger Things will be hinted at, a house announcement, or anything to that extent. But it’s early, even for Universal Studios Hollywood, which usually announces plans for the terror tram.

For those wondering, diffusion means Protracted, extending for a great period (AKA, this is the first time HHN is extended into August!)
