There are only a few nights left to experience Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights 2013 -- and the fans have spoken, saying this is one of the best the park has ever produced. 

Want to earn all of that Halloween candy you'll be eating soon? On Saturday, October 5 at 10pm runners and Disney villains alike will descend on Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler course will be full of nighttime thrills and chills as participants travel a course of pavement, grass, and sand from Hollywood Studios to ESPN's Wide World of Sports, then back to Hollywood Studios and on to a finish that they'll never forget. In addition to on-course entertainment and refreshments, runners will also receive a race shirt, finisher medal, and entry to the Disney Villains Hollywood Bash party.



If a creepy 10-miler isn't quite your idea of fun, there will be several other runDisney events taking place that weekend, including the Disney Happy Haunted 5K Trail Run and several Kids Races.

If you have little ones in your family, there's a good chance that Orlando's spookier Halloween offerings are more trick than treat. But never fear! (Yes, yes. Bad pun intended.) Disney's Magic Kingdom has you covered with Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.


On select nights from September 10 through November 1, you can dress up and join the not-so-scary fun as you trick-or-treat with Mickey and all of his friends. In addition to the standard candy collection, you can also attend the Disney Villains Mix and Mingle in front of Cinderella's castle, watch Mickey's "Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade (led by the Headless Horseman), and fireworks and songs at Happy HalloWishes.

Admission to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is not included in regular park admission. Tickets start at $59 for adults and $54 for children 3 - 9. To view available dates and purchase tickets, click here.

Normally, we think of dreams coming true when we think of the Orlando theme park experience. But what if all of your nightmares came true instead? Well, strap in, friends, because that's exactly what happens at Halloween Horror Nights. On select nights from September 20 - November 2, Universal Studios will be taken over by the things that go bump in the night - especially zombies.


Fans of AMC's The Walking Dead are in for a special treat (and probably several very nasty tricks) because this year's HHN theme is lifted straight from the show. More details will be coming soon, but if you want to make sure you have the chance to run for your life, buy your tickets now. Prices start at $91.99 for a single night of horror, and there are multiple add-on and package options available.

Don't believe us when we say it's horrifying? Check out the video from the last time HHN teamed up with The Walking Dead. This is Universal's 23rd year running the creep show, so you better believe that they know what they're doing.
