Running around Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights, screaming through the mazes and dodging chainsaw-wielding monsters can work up quite the appetite.
Luckily this year the theme park’s culinary team went all out on theming its cuisine and cocktails to several of the mazes based on hit TV shows like “Stranger Things” and “Chucky,” as well as the best-selling video game “The Last of Us.” While you can certainly still quick-grab things like nachos, hot dogs, chicken strips and fries, Universal Studios Hollywood’s Executive Chef Julia Thrash said that she and her team were aiming for a more elevated experience and truly dove into these shows and games to create horror-themed culinary masterpieces.

“All of our IPs were a very fun adventure, but I think my most favorite was our ‘Chucky’ overlay just because Chucky is the kind of character where he’s playful, but also scary, but also spicy and also sweet,” she said during a recent food tasting event inside the park. All of the specialty food and beverages are available during the event, which runs select evenings through Oct. 31.
Guests can find these food items throughout the park. The “Stranger Things” Surfer Boy Pizza Shop, Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor and ’80s themed Stellar Bar are all located on the lower lot near the maze. Chucky’s Killer BBQ is located on the upper lot, near the main entrance and “The Last of Us” bites can be found at Mummy Eats on the lower lot next to Revenge of The Mummy — The Ride. There’s also plenty of fun drinks and specialty food served in the Dia de Los Muertos area inside the Universal Plaza on the upper lot.
Here are some of the best bites and sips we had during recent visit to Halloween Horror Nights.
