Halloween Horror Nights 30 (HHN30) took place in Orlando, Florida at Universal Studios throughout September and October. As you can see, this year was the big 30th edition of the event, so they had to present a special celebration for all of those who have been attending over the years. With that, they celebrated some of the event’s horror icons from past years, along with some well known properties like Beetlejuice and The Haunting of Hill House.   We have been going to the event for years, and made the decision to come out of COVID hiding to attend HHN30. In the video below, I review HHN30, and talk about some of the shows, scare zones, and haunted houses. I include tips for this event, and some for future years as well. There’s also pictures and video within the review to help show what I’m talking about. Of course you can visit my YouTube Channel for more videos from HHN30. Enjoy…
