Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood is time traveling back to the 1980s with Throwback Thursdays, in celebration of the decade’s darker side. The event will feature several all-new terrifying mazes that honor such classic movies from the decade as ‘Ghostbusters,’ ‘Creepshow’ and ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space.’ Contemporary shows and films inspired by the decade, including ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Us,’ will also come to life during the Halloween-inspired attraction.
Highlights of Throwback Thursdays include a not-so-friendly welcome from Chucky himself, live tribute band and DJ dance party hosted by Beetlejuice, classic ‘80s music videos and songs played throughout the event, as well as themed food. To help guests capture the spirit of the ’80s, they are also invited to sport their finest decade-worthy attire trends, from leg warmers and high waisted jeans to scrunchie hair ties, fanny packs and shoulder pads.
Throwback Thursdays will take place every Thursday night during Halloween Horror Nights, and is included as part of admission to the event. The remaining dates the event will be open are: September 26-29; October 3-6, 10-13, 17-20, 24-27, 31; and November 1-3, 2019.
Tickets are available at Halloween Horror Nights’ official website. Advance purchase is recommended, as event nights are expected to sell out.
