I went to both Halloween-themed events.Carly Caramanna

Halloween Horror Nights is a seasonal event held at Universal Studios in Florida and California.
It features plenty of spooky haunted houses along with specialty food and live entertainment.

Halloween Horror Nights is an annual event held in both LA and Orlando.

Haunted houses are one of the biggest draws, and luckily my favorite one was in both cities.

Hollywood had a new house that previously debuted in Orlando.

Hollywood didn't have as many scare zones, but the actors were incredibly talented.

Universal Orlando's scare zones were much bigger.

Entertainment from the Death Eaters from "Harry Potter" was exclusive to Hollywood.

Universal Hollywood is the only event with the Terror Tram, and it's one of the coolest attractions.

Unlike anything in Hollywood, Orlando's food and entertainment offerings extended beyond the parks.
