I tried to give anyone watching the experience with some knowledge and yeah I enjoy the spoiler free route. Not everyone goes until later in the event. So glad it was helpful 😊
This was the most helpful so far of videos. THANK you for doing BOTH the stay and scream areas. Seems all the vloggers want to show the houses from premium screen or or media night! We aren't all celebrities/vloggers etc!!. Are you doing a video on how many houses you can do with a SnS without express before lines get longer than 60 minutes?
I’m very glad it was helpful! I figured with the changes it would help people. So I’m happy to have helped. I do love that idea! Depends on how much time I got. I would like to attempt it.
That helps! Now, to decide which house to start with. I feel like we need to start at World Expo to catch a couple of houses at the back as well as the show. Night two could be the New York stay and scream. Thanks again!
Yes 2 houses without a doubt and Probably the 3rd house as the park opens. Maybe squeeze the fourth as people will be going for the bigger IP houses (A Quite Place, Ghostbusters and Insidious)
@ZombieChris So I'd imagine you would want to do the bigger houses first like quite place, ghost busters or insidious before they start letting the main people in That way you only have the less popular ones to do
I've been refreshing my youtube homepage all weekend looking for someone to breakdown the new stay and scream. Thank you so much! Anybody know where I can find what time each house opens
YAY! Glad to have help. As for the opening of times.... 5:15 - Ghostbusters, Insidious 5:30 - A Quiet Place 5:45 - Monsters: Bloodlines, Goblin's Feast 6:00 - Monstrous, Major Sweets, Slaughter Cinema, Triplets of Terror, Dark Museum
Great video, I wont have a day ticket but planning to do the screan early ticket, are we in the same area as stay and scream and do you know if we also have access to the park at 3pm?
If you are getting the scream early ticket. It allows you to enter the park starting at 3pm until 5pm (universal closes at 5pm) When you arrive the choice is up to you. If you go straight to a stay n scream area or try to ride something or go see the tribute store. Just know people will start lining up as early as 2pm for the stay and scream areas.
@@ZombieChris that is so awesome to hear; trying to strategize my time being that park goers will have definitely a slight advantage which is understandable. Love that we have such an early advantage to do a house or 2 before the main crowd comes in. Do you recommend I be at the gates before 3 or right at 3pm?
We usually do stay and scream without waiting on lines for the houses since we get express. We've been hanging in NY by Louie's Pizza. Getting different food. I want to try World Expo this year. Can I go to an area like NY AND just find a place and sit?
There is sitting room near the Ghostbusters food Booths, On the side of the streets near the Christmas store and seating near Louie's if that area is open.
Brilliant video. Very detailed and gave me more than most of the content creators so far. I do have one question, my partner is coming with me to HHN but she isn't too bothered about doing the houses , after trying to convince her I settled on getting a fast pass to make sure she wasn't on her own too long. I will also have a park ticket included in my 14 days for the trip so my idea is to get through the houses as quickly as possible. I couldn't see an express area within the stay and scream part and looking at the chaos of the entrance into major sweets it made me wonder if the express lines are open during stay and scream? .. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hello, so I purchased 3 day with 2 day free one park per day for the week of October 28. My question is will those tickets let us get into the stay and scream? And from my understanding the horror night happens at Hollywood studio, would we need to leave Hollywood studio if we’re already at that park or how does that work? I know you said not to be late so I want to try and get the most out of our tickets and days/stay while there. Thank you for your video it has been the MOST helpful yet sure our first time going and especially during this time so I’m confused on how everything works. I appreciate your time and response. 🙏🏻
The daytime ticket doesn’t get you into stay and scream. They will scan your Halloween Horror Night ticket for that. HHN takes place inside universal studios. Stay and Scream areas: Minions (NY) and World Expo ( Lombard’s) There will be team members by each stay and scream area if you have any last minute questions. Also feel free to ask any more.
Great video! It was super helpful! If you get off a ride after 5 PM, do you know if they'll still allow you into a Stay and Scream line. I've always been curious but I'm too nervous to test it out 😆
Depends on where the ride is. Normally when security sweeps the park they start in the back pushing out day guests. So I believe you could always just get into a stay n scream. Because you are inside the park.
Thanks for the video ZC!! So, let's say we are doing s&s and not really wanting to line up at 2 pm. What time do they actually open up the area where you can just go in and hang out (not really queing up for a house super early)?
So people start lining up at 2pm, the Check in area opens at 3pm. If you are just wanting to get into the stay and scream area I would show up 3:30- 4pm just to give the longer lines time to get inside.
@ZombieChris ok thank you !! We missed out on the express this year, although we do have a couple nights express. The others we will try s&s so it's been a while since we did it. Your video helps ! We just probably aren't gonna line up that early but just want to get in so thanks for the info!
So I’m confused about the add-on. When you purchase the tickets do you have to add anything else to the cart? I’m not an annual card holder and I don’t have a daytime ticket.I’d only add the stay and scream ticket which is $55 and I don’t think they’d charge that little when the normal price is $86 lol
So if I understand..... A Scream Early Ticket: Only gets you into the park early (3pm-5pm) To be able to wait in a stay and scream, get on a ride, walk the park whatever you want to do. You will still need a HHN Single Night Ticket or whatever HHN Ticket / Frequent Fear Pass + Scream early ticket. Because once you go to a Stay and Scream area. They will then scan your HHN Ticket. So HHN TICKET + Scream Early Ticket = Stay and Scream area with a night of HHN.
Hmmm I would say The World Expo was better because there’s more sitting areas and lots of shade. But it’s only two of the tent houses vs New York. Where you can knock out the IP houses. Which are always busy throughout the night.
It would seem that way but most people are respectful to know where they were standing in the line. Line Jumpers are more so later into the night. When a huge group comes and joins one or two people in line. Saying they were saving there spot and makes the line much longer for everyone.
Seems stay and scream is no longer worth it with you having to show up 3 hours before the event starts if you want to get into houses at a reasonable time
It all depends on how a person is going to the event. If they plan on staying till 2am. Then no they could stroll in later. If someone only has one night. Then I would advise them to do Stay and Scream. It still has a great value of knocking out the bigger IP houses nice and early but it does come at a cost.
So informative and helpful, AND great spoiler-free content while I await my night
I tried to give anyone watching the experience with some knowledge and yeah I enjoy the spoiler free route. Not everyone goes until later in the event. So glad it was helpful 😊
It was so cool to pass you on opening night! Thanks for doing what you do!
You are very welcome.

Hey Chris, greatly appreciate the input! Looking forward to more videos..
More to come!
That helps! Now, to decide which house to start with. I feel like we need to start at World Expo to catch a couple of houses at the back as well as the show. Night two could be the New York stay and scream. Thanks again!
With either one you could knock out about 5 Houses. If you stay on path and do one after another one.
I’m sweating thinking about the waits 😂
The HHN workout plan
Yes! If GB opens at 5:15, im headed to get a Korean corndog.
Yes, get it early! That line gets looooooooong by 7 or 8.
How was the corn dog?
I’m gonna do five nights and arrive later do diff houses snd shows later hopefully get them done, great info thanks 🙏
With 5 nights, you should have zero problems doing each of the houses multiple times.
Would you say you can probably enter 2 houses doing stay and scream until it opens for everyone at 6:30?
Yes 2 houses without a doubt and Probably the 3rd house as the park opens.
Maybe squeeze the fourth as people will be going for the bigger IP houses (A Quite Place, Ghostbusters and Insidious)
@ZombieChris So I'd imagine you would want to do the bigger houses first like quite place, ghost busters or insidious before they start letting the main people in That way you only have the less popular ones to do
Great video! This is exactly what I needed to know for tonight. Thanks you got a new sub. 🫡
Thanks for the sub! Glad I could help.
I've been refreshing my youtube homepage all weekend looking for someone to breakdown the new stay and scream. Thank you so much! Anybody know where I can find what time each house opens
YAY! Glad to have help. As for the opening of times....
5:15 - Ghostbusters, Insidious
5:30 - A Quiet Place
5:45 - Monsters: Bloodlines, Goblin's Feast
6:00 - Monstrous, Major Sweets, Slaughter Cinema, Triplets of Terror, Dark Museum

Backnin 2013, there was no stay and scream, those who were already in the park were the only ones able to stay.
We usually do stay and scream without waiting on lines for the houses since we get express. We've been hanging in NY by Louie's Pizza. Getting different food. I want to try World Expo this year. Can I go to an area like NY AND just find a place and sit?
There is sitting room near the Ghostbusters food Booths, On the side of the streets near the Christmas store and seating near Louie's if that area is open.
@@ZombieChris thank you for the reply! How about the new World Expo area? Love your videos!
Did they only let you get into food booths in your stay and scream area?
@@dancersupreme3023 more food in the NY area... Not so much for San Francisco area
Thank you for this video, Chris!!! Appreciate your help on S&S for this year. 😊
Happy to help!
what’s the best house to do stay in scream in?
If you’re trying to knock out one of the bigger IP’s that would be the best to do. Ghostbusters or Insidious as to tend to have 70-90 min waits later.
Yo! Is Finnegans open & accessible in the NY S&S zone?
I believe it is, unless they've changed operations but it's always been opened.
Brilliant video. Very detailed and gave me more than most of the content creators so far.
I do have one question, my partner is coming with me to HHN but she isn't too bothered about doing the houses , after trying to convince her I settled on getting a fast pass to make sure she wasn't on her own too long.

Hello 👋 yes express is open as soon the stay and scream opens to the houses. It’s just normally to the right of the entrance.
@@ZombieChris thank you very much! That's awesome
Hello, so I purchased 3 day with 2 day free one park per day for the week of October 28. My question is will those tickets let us get into the stay and scream?

Stay and Scream areas: Minions (NY) and World Expo ( Lombard’s)
There will be team members by each stay and scream area if you have any last minute questions. Also feel free to ask any more.
Thanks for the video - super informative! Can you enter Springfield and hang out at Duff brewery from the Lombard's S&S?
You are very welcome 🤗 No sorry that area is not opened until the park is open for HHN.
@@ZombieChris Ah, that's a pity! Thanks so much for confirming, really appreciate it 😁

My thought this year was to find the fastest opening to get out and get some food.
what was in the food and beverage area for world expo?
The goblins food both and the smaller snack stand next to it.
So I’m confused about the add-on. When you purchase the tickets do you have to add anything else to the cart? I’m not an annual card holder and I don’t have a daytime ticket.I’d only add the stay and scream ticket which is $55 and I don’t think they’d charge that little when the normal price is $86 lol
So if I understand.....
A Scream Early Ticket: Only gets you into the park early (3pm-5pm)
To be able to wait in a stay and scream, get on a ride, walk the park whatever you want to do.
You will still need a HHN Single Night Ticket or whatever HHN Ticket / Frequent Fear Pass + Scream early ticket. Because once you go to a Stay and Scream area. They will then scan your HHN Ticket.
So HHN TICKET + Scream Early Ticket = Stay and Scream area with a night of HHN.
In your opinion which stay and scream zone was better? We’re you able to get more done in one rather than the other?
Hmmm I would say The World Expo was better because there’s more sitting areas and lots of shade.
But it’s only two of the tent houses vs New York. Where you can knock out the IP houses. Which are always busy throughout the night.
How does stay scream work if you get an express pass
Once you head to the house. You can still use the express pass.
Are all the food booths open in stay and scream areas?
For NY- The Tavern, the Twisted tater, Ghostbusters food booth are open
For World Expo- Goblin food booth is open, along with the Fanta drink one.
Jeez it looks like people can easily just cut you in line when walking to the houses
It would seem that way but most people are respectful to know where they were standing in the line. Line Jumpers are more so later into the night.
When a huge group comes and joins one or two people in line. Saying they were saving there spot and makes the line much longer for everyone.
Can i ask please, what day of the week was this filmed on? Was it a weekend?
This was filmed on opening weekend. Friday-Sunday
@@ZombieChris thanks so much for your reply! And thank you for the helpful video 🫶🏻

This looks like a bit of a mess
😆 a little bit. More organized chaos
Thanks I needed this. So much incorrect / vague information out there.. 😅
Glad it was helpful!
