Are you allowed to dress up in Halloween costumes for Halloween Horror Nights?

Whilst Halloween “bounding” or mild theming is acceptable such as a themed t-shirt or traditional Halloween colours, full Halloween costumes are not allowed to be worn. This is so that park guests can easily identify USJ scare actors wandering the park. Theme park guests are not permitted to wear anything frightening including Halloween costumes, face paint and anything which obscures the face like Halloween masks.

I’m neurodiverse or sensitive – what effects are used in Halloween Horror Nights?

For autistic, epileptic and any other guests sensitive to over stimulation and/or amplified conditions, loud noises, liquid, powder, fog and strobe lights may be used during Halloween Horror Nights along the main thoroughfares and inside the rides and shows. Physical touching by – or of – USJ actors and other staff is not permitted.
