Food and Beverage Line-Up for Halloween Horror Nights 2022 Orlando (Well, Most of it)

Published on

  • Universal Orlando cooking up “killer” menu items this fall featuring more than 75 items inspired by the season. These items will be available beginning September 2 through October 31.
  • This year’s delectable menu was created by Universal Orlando’s award-winning executive chefs and culinary team.
  • Highlights include the “Save Your Tears” signature cocktail inspired by The Weeknd, the “Maggot Covered Cheese Dog” inspired by the “Bugs: Eaten Alive” original haunted house and Halloween Horror Nights staples like Pizza Fries, Twisted Taters and more.


On August 30th, Universal Orlando released “official” information about the food/beverage this year at Halloween Horror Nights. Yet, following a consistent pattern for this year, Universal Orlando continues to release information about Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) 2022 later than most would prefer. For example, Team Member preview night is one day away as of time of writing. Also, the full event starts Friday. Even though food/beverage tents have been going up for a few weeks, an official announcement of food failed to happen. Of course, up until August 16th, we failed to even know half the HHN houses this year. To add to HHN fan frustration wanting details about an event starting September 2nd, hints of the food appeared with some menu boards going up on August 24th. In addition, Universal Orlando has been doing mini previews of certain HHN food items with select groups since then.

Now we have something official from Universal Orlando.

Universal Orlando stated that they would be cooking up “killer” menu items this fall featuring more than 75 items inspired by the season and the macabre lineup of terror guests will brave at Halloween Horror Nights 2022. The themed food and beverage locations within the event will be filled with new treats and fan-favorites (pizza fries, anyone?). The tasty offerings will feature some horrifying twists at select CityWalk locations and Universal hotels. Guests can fuel up for the fear with frighteningly good meals across the entire destination beginning September 2 through October 31.

Universal Orlando also stated that this year’s delectable menu was created by Universal Orlando’s award-winning executive chefs and culinary team. They created and delivered the most expensive selection in Halloween Horror Nights history. As they navigate the world’s premier Halloween event, guests can satiate their appetite for fright with elevated, Halloween-inspired cuisine along with specialty items themed after the terrifying experiences invading this year’s event. Highlights include the “Save Your Tears” signature cocktail inspired by The Weeknd, the “Maggot Covered Cheese Dog” inspired by the “Bugs: Eaten Alive” original haunted house and Halloween Horror Nights staples like Pizza Fries, Twisted Taters and more.

The rest of this article will delineate the food/beverage tents with some commentary when appropriate.

Also, with the possible exception of the food trucks, this food will only be available during the Halloween Horror Nights events. In addition, Universal Orlando still has not provided all details for the Halloween themed food this year. We should expect more info once the event sta rts on Friday. Thus, some pricing and location data still has not been officially released by Universal Orlando.

Pumpkin Food Tent (Bridge between Springfield USA and London Waterfront)

This tent showed a menu board on August 24th that listed two different types of themed corn dogs. That was taken down so guests waited longer to find out the menu details here. Rumors indicated that some of the pricing for this menu board was inaccurate. Also, as of 1:00pm August 30th, this menu boards had not returned to this location so pricing seen below may be inaccuarate.

Menu board that went up on August 24th and taken down overnight.

This booth will be selling a “Churro Dog on a Stick” for $8.99. Universal Orlando describes this as a Korean style corn dog tossed in cinnamon sugar. Personally, I lack knowledge of what a Korean style corn dog would taste like. This sounds like a similar combination of savory and sweet offered at this food location historically.

The other food item sold here brings a scary sounding name. The “Maggot Covered Cheese Dog” costs $9.49. This item also features a Korean corn dog rolled in puffed rice. Then, it is topped with gochujang drizzle and black sesame seeds.

The standard canned beverages seen at other booths will also be sold here.

Universal Orlando also announced some details about Halloween themed food/beverage in CityWalk area and resort hotels. They stated that the taste of Halloween Horror Nights will bleed into select venues at Universal CityWalk and Universal’s hotels, which will also feature menu selections inspired by the season.

At Universal CityWalk, guests can indulge in the new Black Magic Milkshake (gluten-free) at The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen, featuring pumpkin dulce de leche ice cream with a hazelnut-and-tombstone-sprinkled rim – topped with a cauldron filled with gummy “severed body parts” over whipped flames. Also, the Red Coconut Club will transform to the Dead Coconut Club this fall as it dons a new theme and menu highlighting the Universal Monsters.

Plus, all eight Universal hotels will offer Universal Monsters-themed drinks, including The Mummy (vodka, blueberry-flavored energy drink, blue Caribbean liqueur, simple syrup, and lemon juice), The Wolf Man (whiskey, black raspberry-flavored liquor, and pineapple juice) and Dracula (tequila and Bloody Mary mix garnished with olives and celery). And for the first time ever, the Sunset Lounge at Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn and Suites will become a Halloween paradise featuring a unique mix of décor that blends traditional Halloween and tropical beach items.

Based on this list of offerings, you should be able to find something wonderful to eat and drink this year.

As always, eat like you mean it!
