The other is the evening show Haunt-O-Phonic: A Ghoulish Journey. At Universal Studios Lagoon, there is a big spectacle including water screens and spooky music.


Helpful Tips

  • If you are already in the park during the day, you don’t have to leave the park for the evening event, just show your Halloween ticket.
  • It is recommended to arrive at least one hour before the event starts, as there may be heavy traffic.
  • Start with the horror houses or attractions that are furthest away from the entrance, as most people go straight to the first house they see.
