Would you eat dessert straight out of a MEAT GRIND Would you eat dessert straight out of a MEAT GRINDER?! 😳🩸

Meet the Meat Grinder Red Velvet — freshly “ground” red velvet cake topped with cream cheese icing, raspberry sauce AND puffed rice maggots. 🤢😂 Don’t let the presentation scare you though… this might just be one of the most perfectly disturbing treats at HHN! 🎃

📍 Find it at the Fearful Fare food booth in the New York area of Universal Studios Florida, available exclusively during Halloween Horror Nights.

Okay… be honest. Are you trying this or is the meat grinder presentation enough to make you say NOPE?! 👀👇

The new Mandalorian & Grogu Smugglers Run was SO much fun! Getting behind the controls and joining Mando and Grogu on an adventure was surreal!!
You may think you’ve seen the entire Nightmare Bef You may think you’ve seen the entire Nightmare Before Christmas edible display at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa… but did you walk around it?

The front side features Jack Skellington, Sally, and Zero, while the BACK reveals the Mayor and Oogie Boogie!

It’s such a fun detail because this incredible display is really two scenes in one. So if you’re visiting Disneyland Resort this Halloween season, don’t just stop for a quick photo from the front—make sure you see what’s hiding on the other side.

These are the kinds of details that make a Disneyland Halloween trip feel so special.

Forget the traditional haunted houses and creepy cobwebs…this Halloween celebration is filled with familiar Pixar fun and monster-sized personality! Honestly, Halloween and Monsters, Inc. might just be the scream team we never knew we needed 👻💚

Our HONEST OPINIONS of #HHN35!!! 🎃 Our HONEST OPINIONS of #HHN35!!! 🎃
HERE’S OUR TOP 5 #HHN35 MUST-DO’s after attending HERE’S OUR TOP 5 #HHN35 MUST-DO’s after attending opening weekend…

• Downtown Clowntown scare zone: This was SO much fun and it’s the LARGEST scare zone HHN has ever done! It’s pretty much an entire loop around the New York area and we gotta say…some of most memorable times last night was from interacting with clowns from this area. It’s FUN!!! And Art the Clown is there as Santa 😂

• Jack & Oddfellow house: To be honest, this house wasn’t in our most anticipated list…but after going in it it got our attention. SO many cool visual effects and rooms. One of the coolest set of rooms in the last few years at HHN!!

• Ozzy Osbourne house: This house just ROCKS!!! It plays all of Ozzy’s hits which establishes the mood. It has a CRAZY TRAIN (coolest part of any house this HHN season. It’s dark, spooky. It’s just awesome. You gotta do this house! It might be a long wait, but prioritize it, especially if you’re an Ozzy fan. You won’t regret waiting in the line.

• Stranger Things water show: If you’re a fan of the show, this is such a unique show. It’s HUGE, and plays ALL the hits from the show. You get to see all your favorite characters again in iconic scenes. It’s just so nostalgic and unique, you gotta see it 🥹

• Cybergoria: This will be the SLEEPER original house this year. It’s probably the scariest, and won’t be as long of a wait time as the other main IP houses. It’s about AI taking over the world. GO to this house, it’s a hidden GEM.

Honorable mention…
TRY one of the spooky Halloween foods that HHN had to offer! Our FAVORITE was the Catfish and Grits from the Sinners booth. We know that might not sound too appealing to a lot LOL, but it was SO good. We had other tasty snacks throughout the night like the walking taco, Mac and cheese with beef jerky, and a spicy dumpling…but the catfish took the cake. We recommend trying at least one speciality food item from HHN this year…the culinary team does a fantastic job!
