Halloween Horror Nights 2024 Themed Foods & Drinks: Full List
The Menu Is Meticulously Planned
Halloween Horror Nights creative director John Murdy wasn't just involved in the rides themselves, but also the food and drink that goes along with them. The entire menu is themed, adding to the immersive experience. As he explains:
There's a whole food and beverage program that's unique to our nights. Some of it's tied into the properties we're doing. There's a Texas Chainsaw Massacre barbecue downstairs, fully themed out. It sounds bizarre, but it was very popular last time we did it. And for The Weeknd, we have a full blown bar that we're doing.
Our chef creates all of these custom items that are just sold during our nights. For The Weeknd, there's a lot of things that involve a heart, so he made a giant gummy heart. I mean, it's like really big. And all kinds of different drinks and desserts and main courses. And there is a food in the plaza as well. There's special taco creations along with all the different drinks that they offer. It's a full program.
