Universal Orlando is adding a members-only twist to Halloween Horror Nights 35 with the debut of The Keyholder Bar — a dedicated lounge open exclusively to guests holding a valid Universal Orlando Annual or Seasonal Pass. The bar will operate on HHN event nights from August 28 through November 1, giving eligible guests a recurring retreat that non-passholders simply won't be able to access.

Passholders looking to find it should head toward the Music Plaza Stage area inside Universal Studios Florida — the entrance sits just to the left of the stage. Once inside, guests can order exclusive beverages not available elsewhere in the park during the event.

The Keyholder Bar is one more layer on top of what's already shaping up to be a packed Halloween Horror Nights season. HHN 35 will feature 10 haunted houses, including Stranger Things, Hellraiser, Evil Dead Burn, Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness, and several others under the event's overarching "Infernal Carnival of Nightmares" theme, which centers on fan-favorite characters Jack and Oddfellow.

Beyond the haunted houses, guests can look forward to scare zones including FORTNITEMARES, Downtown Clowntown — pairing Art the Clown with the Killer Klowns from Outer Space — and Sideshow of Decay. A Stranger Things lagoon show, the Nightmare Fuel: Blood Noir stage show, a Hamikuma meet and greet, and a variety of themed food booths round out the lineup.

For Passholders, The Keyholder Bar offers a low-key reason to return multiple times throughout the season rather than trying to pack everything into a single night. Disney Fanatic first reported the details of this exclusive experience.
