Your Time Has Come

As the Halloween Horror Nights™ brand was gaining momentum, and with another unique icon created, Universal Art & Design was ready to make an event first: Horror Nights at Universal's Islands of Adventure.

Once again, the ‘real world’ interfered, and a string of kidnappings in the Central Florida area caused a last-minute icon shuffle from Cindy Caine to her father Albert Caine. The Caretaker was born.

Event Facts

  • Halloween Horror Nights™: Islands of Fear was the first year ever to bring the event over to Universal Studios Florida's neighboring theme park, Islands of Adventure. This year took the normal daytime themes and feel of the theme park and transformed them into something more sinister.
  • Islands of Fear set a record number of combined Scare Zones and Haunted Houses, and was also a key turning point in the popularity of the event.
  • In 2002, Lightship Entertainment produced a documentary on the event which aired in 2003 on Discovery Channel-owned Travel Channel. This documentary was also sold at the park during Halloween Horror Nights™ 13, and various other times throughout the events.
  • Like all of Universal's events, many things were changed during the design phase of the event - from the icon, to the houses, to the overall theme.

    This in my most humble of opinions was the best year for HHN. Everything about it was magical. Houses were on point. All the Scarezones were on point. Nothing about this year was bad.
