\u25a0When is USJ Halloween 2022?<\/h2>\n
Halloween is a hugely popular time at USJ. Celebrations run at the same time every year for about two months and run until about a week after the actual holiday, October 31.
\nHalloween period: Thursday, Sep. 8\u2013Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022
\nHalloween Horror Nights: Friday, Sep. 9\u2013Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022

<\/p>\n
\u25a0Trick or Treat, Cosplay & Double Cosplay!?<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re with kids, the nicest thing about the park during Halloween has to be the friendly staff carrying bags of candy. All the staff are decked out in cool witch hats throughout the Halloween season and greet guests with the usual smiling faces. Feel free to ask them a question, or get a compliment on your outfit.
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/usj-trick-or-treat-e1662958330316.jpg\")
\nBut for Halloween, there\u2019s an almost scavenger-hunt-like element in the park. Whenever you see someone with a trick-or-treat bag, kids can run up and with the three special words Trick-or-Treat<\/strong>, get free candy! Look for staff members carrying a black and purple cat bag or a sparkly orange pumpkin bag.
\nWhen you find one, get your piece of hard candy, with cute Halloween characters on the wrapper. Grape, strawberry, orange… They all taste great! And if you\u2019re really lucky you can get one of the candies that will change the color of your mouth. Nothing says \u201cI\u2019m enjoying Halloween\u201d like a blue smile!
\n*Pro-tip: There are no Trick-or-Treat staff in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or the Super Nintendo World areas. And it\u2019s technically for children elementary school age and younger.<\/p>\nThe park is also a great place to see creative costumes. Sure, park guests dress in Harry Potter robes wielding wands, don yellow shirts and jean overalls mimicking the Minions, and sport JAWS headbands year-round. But at Halloween, the costume-wearing is a horse of an entirely different color. Look forward to full-body Demon-Slayer characters, a handful of Chucky\u2019s, and tiny pumpkins, princesses, and mini-monsters toddling around.
\n![\"cosplay](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Hamikuma-e1662963379752.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Of course there are the professional actors in costume to look forward to too. And for Halloween, the USJ characters are dressed up, so you get to see all your favorite characters in costume. They\u2019re out in the park at designated places at scheduled showtimes to show off their new looks and take photos with guests.
\n![\"USJ-Halloween-sesame-characters](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Halloween-sesame-characters-e1662958418356.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This year, Sanrio\u2019s My Melody & Kuromi are dressed up as witches. The Minions stole my heart with their Dracula, Frankenstein, & Bride of Frankenstein costumes. Plus Snoopy and crew appear regularly in their Egyptian-themed garb near the entrance to the kids\u2019 zone, Universal Wonderland. And you can catch the Sesame Street crew near Hollywood Dream: The Ride. Elmo is dressed in his finest, sporting a skull top-hat, necktie, and sceptre. He\u2019s still adorably cute, though!<\/p>\n
\u25a0Shows & Attractions<\/h2>\n\nStreet Zombies<\/h3>\n
They\u2019re back in full force this year, with more variety than ever! The weird yet strangely popular teddy bear zombie HAMIKUMA<\/em> will be out this year with the rest of the Psycho Circus. There will be Tortured Test-Subjects, Gothic Killer Cuties, Murderous Monsters, and of course chainsaws! Plus, the addition of projection mapping this year will make the experience feel bigger than ever. <\/p>\n\nZombie de Dance<\/h3>\n
Oh and if you want to see the zombies dance, that\u2019s an option too! Head over to the Gramercy Park Stage to see HAMIKUMA and the Psycho Circus on stage or a handful of other locations in the park to see the monsters bust some funky moves in Zombie de Dance special performances.
\n![\"HAMIKUMA](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-zombie-HAMIKUMA-stage-e1662963942251.jpg\")
\nPersonally, I caught the show in front of Mel\u2019s Drive in. Decked out in gothic inspired costumes outlined with bright glow-in-the-dark accents, these party zombies were professionals. Even on opening night, they had mastered the crowd. Everyone in the crowd burst into dance at points in the show, but these zombies had moves that couldn\u2019t be emulated too. Literally bending over backwards to entertain the crowd, these zombies stole my heart too. They captured cute, creepy, and cool all in one show.
\n![\"zombie](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Zombie-de-Dance-e1662964228738.jpg\")

<\/p>\n
Check the map<\/a> to find out where to see your favorite type of zombie. And check the show schedule<\/a> to find you all the zombie de dance showtimes. There are 6 in all, so you\u2019ll have to choose carefully. And remember, the zombies only come out at night!
\n![\"universal](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/universal-horror-nights-e1662966557177.jpg\")
\nLook for them after 6pm. And if you have kids, plan ahead and locate the safety routes so you lead an escape mission without inspiring nightmares in the kiddos.<\/p>\n\nBiohazard\u2122: The Extreme +<\/h3>\n
This survival horror maze, based on the video game Resident Evil 2, takes you into the Raccoon City Police Department. You have a choice of routes through the maze. Will you take the Leon route or the Claire route? Once you\u2019ve made your decision, do your best to evade Tyrant, the mutated William Burkin, Licker, and an assortment of zombies while you complete your mission. You\u2019ll get a final rank for your performance, if you escape!
\n![\"Resident](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Biohazard-Resident-Evil-escape-game-e1662964722191.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nUniversal Monsters: Legends of Fear<\/h3>\n
Inspired by the crowd-pleaser maze of the same name from Universal Studios Florida, this attraction will keep you on your toes and put a lump in your throat. Set in a darkened cemetery, you meet classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein\u2019s monster, and the Mummy.
\n![\"Universal](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-monster-maze-legends-of-fear-e1662964651665.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nCult of Chucky: Chucky\u2019s Hospital Ward of Madness<\/h3>\n
No matter how frightened you are in the pitch black hospital ward, with fog machines and strobe lights, you have to walk step-by-step through the attraction. Good luck! The Child\u2019s Play psycho killer doll is in there somewhere. This one might be best to face with a group of friends.
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/usj-chucky-escape-maze-e1662964794553.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nSherlock Holmes: The Curse of the Rose Sword<\/h3>\n
Because I\u2019m a bit of a wimp, I decided this one was for me. This couldn\u2019t be too scary, right?
\nLet me give you a few more in-depth details without too many spoilers.
\n![\"Sherlock](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-sherlock-holmes-theater-e1662964865831.jpg\")
\nThe flashy theater, where you can usually catch a good Beetlejuice rock \u2019n roll show, was set up for a movie premiere. Classy show posters decorated the entrance lobby. On the way in, ushers hand guests a show-guide explaining the backstory so you can prepare yourself for the mystery about to unfold.
\n![\"Sherlock](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sherlock-Holmes-program-e1662959018788.jpg\")
\nJust before the show began, as the lights were just starting to dim, I spotted Sherlock and his trusty sidekick Watson slip into front-row seats.
\n![\"Sherlock](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sherlock-Holmes-sighting-e1662959062735.jpg\")
\nAll in all the movie screening\/murder-mystery lasted for about 35 minutes. Real-life actors appeared in color on stage, dramatizing the black and white silent movie on-screen. A lot of twists and turns you\u2019d expect from a good Sherlock story took me on a mind-thrilling adventure. And one unsuspecting audience member was pulled into the drama. A rudimentary knowledge of Japanese would help you get the most out of the performance. The silent movie is shown with lines written both in English and Japanese, so even without language skills you can catch the main story line.
\n![\"Sherlock](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sherlock-Holmes-play-e1662959109666.jpg\")
\nAlthough not terrifying, the performance definitely got my heart pumping and adrenaline flowing. Beyond the pitch black moments, blood-curdling screams, and grotesque displays of blood and charred bodies, there is definitely a reason this attraction is restricted to the 12+ community. This is one of those attractions that sneaks up on you. You think it\u2019s not scary, but then you walk out being glad you didn\u2019t die. Just the right amount of scare for my psyche. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cRat-tat-tat\u201d + Hollywood Dream-The Ride<\/h3>\n
The park\u2019s main rollercoaster always has a fun selection of songs to choose from for your own personal ride soundtrack. During the Halloween period, the hit song Rat-tat-tat<\/em> by J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE will be specially featured.
\n![\"Hollywood](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Hollywood-Dream-the-ride-coaster-e1662964930201.jpg\")
\n*With the exception of the Street Zombies and the rollercoaster, all the horror attractions are limited to the 12+ crowd. They\u2019re pretty scary.Keep that in mind!
\n![\"USJ](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/usj-graphic-park-map-no-limit-halloween-2022-night-en-a-scaled-e1662965103328.jpg\")
\n*Halloween attractions are very popular. Check the map & get the appropriate Timed Entry Tickets for the attraction you\u2019re planning to see\/experience.<\/p>\n\u25a0Special Decorations & Halloween Merch<\/h2>\n
There’s a surprise around every corner! I found Charlie Brown all dressed up and ready for his new starring role as a vampire in the Peanuts area.
\n![\"Charlie](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Halloween-Charlie-Brown-e1662966020613.jpg\")
\nThe special Halloween merch is so extensive, there\u2019s really no way I could cover it all. My personal opinion though, is that the Minion merch is the cutest. So that\u2019s what I focussed on. Just look at these cute minion vampire headbands, and Halloween minion socks.
\n![\"Halloween](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Halloween-merch-store-e1662958929134.jpg\")
\nThere\u2019s even a sweater vest! Minions in the Dark is the theme and USJ even made vampire Minion crackers. There\u2019s just something about being yellow, round, and having weird goggles, that makes really cute vampires.
\n![\"USJ](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Halloween-merch-minions-e1662958806536.jpg\")
\nBut that\u2019s not all! Look around the gift-shops and you\u2019re sure to find your favorite characters all dressed up.
\n![\"USJ-Halloween](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Halloween-merch-sesame-kitty-e1662958857662.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\u25a0USJ Halloween Food<\/h2>\n
Food! Food! Food! There\u2019s so much Halloween food. I can\u2019t cover it all, but here\u2019s my best attempt. <\/p>\n
Finnegan\u2019s Bar & Grill near the Resident Evil (Biohazard) attraction serves a surf and turf Resident Evil Plate. The themed drinks are smeared with red streaks and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they turned you into a zombie.
\n![\"Finnegans](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Halloween-food-Finnegans--e1662965167530.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
And of course, let\u2019s not forget the Halloween Plate at the Three Broomsticks\u2122 in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter\u2122. Corn, chicken, Shepherd\u2019s pie and the coveted Halloween lollipop.
\n![\"Halloween](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/21372-e1662965242459.jpg\")
\nThe lemon-flavored cauldron cake is as fun to eat as it is delicious. Pour the \u201cmagic potion\u201d over your cotton-candy topped cake and watch it transform before your eyes as \u201csmoke\u201d seeps over the decorative cauldron.
\n![\"cauldron](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/harry-potter-cake-e1662965490291.jpg\")
\nThe On-the-Go foods from the food trucks in the New York area really do it up for Halloween. Get a Frankenstein Hot Dog topped in basil cheese sauce that looks eerily like the tone of the monster\u2019s skin.
\n![\"frankenstein](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Frankenstein-Hot-Dog-e1662965551705.jpg\")
\nTry two kinds of Dracula Curry or a Wolfman Howling Grape Soda.
\n![\"USJ](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Halloween-themed-curry-from-USJ-food-trucks-e1662965916371.jpg\")
\nThe Bride of Frankenstein will make you choose between a strawberry churrito or a cassis chocolate one, both of which remind you of the tall beehive hairdo that she is known for.
\n![\"Churros](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/USJ-Halloween-Churros-e1662965587597.jpg\")
\nIn the Minion area, even the pork buns have Halloween costumes!
\n![\"Halloween](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minion-pork-bun-for-Halloween.jpg\")
\nIf you\u2019re in the mood for something a little classier, visit the Beverly Hills Boulangerie for a Baron or Baroness special Halloween cake.

\n
\nBut for Halloween, there\u2019s an almost scavenger-hunt-like element in the park. Whenever you see someone with a trick-or-treat bag, kids can run up and with the three special words Trick-or-Treat<\/strong>, get free candy! Look for staff members carrying a black and purple cat bag or a sparkly orange pumpkin bag.
\nWhen you find one, get your piece of hard candy, with cute Halloween characters on the wrapper. Grape, strawberry, orange… They all taste great! And if you\u2019re really lucky you can get one of the candies that will change the color of your mouth. Nothing says \u201cI\u2019m enjoying Halloween\u201d like a blue smile!
\n*Pro-tip: There are no Trick-or-Treat staff in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or the Super Nintendo World areas. And it\u2019s technically for children elementary school age and younger.<\/p>\n

Even on opening night, they had mastered the crowd. Everyone in the crowd burst into dance at points in the show, but these zombies had moves that couldn\u2019t be emulated too. Literally bending over backwards to entertain the crowd, these zombies stole my heart too. They captured cute, creepy, and cool all in one show.

\nLook for them after 6pm. And if you have kids, plan ahead and locate the safety routes so you lead an escape mission without inspiring nightmares in the kiddos.<\/p>\n\nBiohazard\u2122: The Extreme +<\/h3>\n

\n<\/p>\n\nSherlock Holmes: The Curse of the Rose Sword<\/h3>\n
\nLet me give you a few more in-depth details without too many spoilers.
\n
\nThe flashy theater, where you can usually catch a good Beetlejuice rock \u2019n roll show, was set up for a movie premiere. Classy show posters decorated the entrance lobby. On the way in, ushers hand guests a show-guide explaining the backstory so you can prepare yourself for the mystery about to unfold.
\n
\nJust before the show began, as the lights were just starting to dim, I spotted Sherlock and his trusty sidekick Watson slip into front-row seats.
\n
\nAll in all the movie screening\/murder-mystery lasted for about 35 minutes. Real-life actors appeared in color on stage, dramatizing the black and white silent movie on-screen. A lot of twists and turns you\u2019d expect from a good Sherlock story took me on a mind-thrilling adventure. And one unsuspecting audience member was pulled into the drama. A rudimentary knowledge of Japanese would help you get the most out of the performance. The silent movie is shown with lines written both in English and Japanese, so even without language skills you can catch the main story line.
\n
\nAlthough not terrifying, the performance definitely got my heart pumping and adrenaline flowing. Beyond the pitch black moments, blood-curdling screams, and grotesque displays of blood and charred bodies, there is definitely a reason this attraction is restricted to the 12+ community. This is one of those attractions that sneaks up on you. You think it\u2019s not scary, but then you walk out being glad you didn\u2019t die. Just the right amount of scare for my psyche. <\/p>\n\n\u201cRat-tat-tat\u201d + Hollywood Dream-The Ride<\/h3>\n
\n
\n*With the exception of the Street Zombies and the rollercoaster, all the horror attractions are limited to the 12+ crowd. They\u2019re pretty scary.Keep that in mind!
\n
\n*Halloween attractions are very popular. Check the map & get the appropriate Timed Entry Tickets for the attraction you\u2019re planning to see\/experience.<\/p>\n\u25a0Special Decorations & Halloween Merch<\/h2>\n
\n
\nThe special Halloween merch is so extensive, there\u2019s really no way I could cover it all. My personal opinion though, is that the Minion merch is the cutest. So that\u2019s what I focussed on. Just look at these cute minion vampire headbands, and Halloween minion socks.
\n
\nThere\u2019s even a sweater vest! Minions in the Dark is the theme and USJ even made vampire Minion crackers. There\u2019s just something about being yellow, round, and having weird goggles, that makes really cute vampires.
\n
\nBut that\u2019s not all! Look around the gift-shops and you\u2019re sure to find your favorite characters all dressed up.

\n
\nThe lemon-flavored cauldron cake is as fun to eat as it is delicious. Pour the \u201cmagic potion\u201d over your cotton-candy topped cake and watch it transform before your eyes as \u201csmoke\u201d seeps over the decorative cauldron.
\n
\nThe On-the-Go foods from the food trucks in the New York area really do it up for Halloween. Get a Frankenstein Hot Dog topped in basil cheese sauce that looks eerily like the tone of the monster\u2019s skin.
\n
\nTry two kinds of Dracula Curry or a Wolfman Howling Grape Soda.
\n
\nThe Bride of Frankenstein will make you choose between a strawberry churrito or a cassis chocolate one, both of which remind you of the tall beehive hairdo that she is known for.
\n
\nIn the Minion area, even the pork buns have Halloween costumes!
\n
\nIf you\u2019re in the mood for something a little classier, visit the Beverly Hills Boulangerie for a Baron or Baroness special Halloween cake.
\n
\nWhatever you choose, you can\u2019t go wrong! USJ has all the Halloween vibes to make your holiday fun, frightening and fabulous. Happy Halloween everyone!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
