Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood 2026 food guide featuring a Pumpkin Spice Cold Boo cold brew in Springfield

Halloween Horror Nights opened at Universal Studios Hollywood on September 3, and this year the food is spread across 15 themed stands, carts, and bars tied to the event’s houses and scare zones. I walked the event and photographed the menus so you can see what is on offer and what it costs before you go. Below is the complete 2026 food and drink lineup, organized by location, with prices, Universal’s official photos, and my own notes on the few items I got to try.

The HHN Hollywood food menu at a glance

There are 32 food items and 25 specialty drinks this year. Food runs from a $6.99 bag of churro bites up to a $39.99 giant hot dog meant to share, and most plates land between $8.99 and $18.99. The specialty cocktails are almost all a flat $18.00, with non-alcoholic versions at $12.00. The one line to remember: most of this food is sold only during the event at night, but the Springfield and Fortnitemares stands are open during the day too.

Know before you go

A few things worth knowing before you line up:

  • Daytime vs. night. The Springfield (Treehouse of Horror) and Fortnitemares (Tower Snacks) items are available during the day, so day guests can grab those without an event ticket. Everything else is served only at night, during Halloween Horror Nights.
  • Desserts go early. The dessert-style items move quickly. I went for the Fortnitemares Final Peel and it was already gone, so if a sweet is on your list, grab it early in the night.
  • Drinks are the splurge. Nearly every specialty cocktail is $18, so a round adds up quickly. The non-alcoholic specialty drinks are $12.

Springfield / Treehouse of Horror (Upper Lot)

The Simpsons’ “Treehouse of Horror” takes over Springfield on the Upper Lot. There is no maze this year, so the whole tie-in lives on the menu, and these items are among the few sold during the day, not just at night.

Pumpkin Spice Cold Boo at Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood

Pumpkin Spice Cold Boo ($10.99). Cold brew topped with pumpkin spice pink vanilla cold foam and a donut hole. I tried this too. It is close to the Orlando version and not very sweet, since most of the sugar sits in the foam on top. At $10.99 it costs more than the Orlando Cold Boo and more than a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, which makes the value a harder sell.

Tower Snacks (Fortnitemares)

Fortnite’s Halloween event, Fortnitemares, sets up at Tower Snacks near Universal Plaza, beside the new Freaky Fields scare zone. Like Springfield, these items are available during the day.

Battle Bus Dog at Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood

Zero Point Pretzel at Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood
Zero Point Pretzel ($8.99). Photo: Philip Hernandez

Zero Point Pretzel ($8.99). Soft pretzel dipped in dark chocolate and topped with purple sugar. I tried this one: it is a warm pretzel finished with chocolate drizzle and sprinkles, not a chocolate shell, so it is messy and best for people who really love chocolate. The Final Peel next to it was already gone when I tried to grab it, so the desserts here go early.

The Final Peel at Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood

The Final Peel ($8.99). Green vanilla whoopie pie filled with banana caramel buttercream, salted toffee sauce and salted caramel crisp pearls.

What I tasted

I only got to a couple of items on opening weekend, but here is what both were actually like. The Zero Point Pretzel at Fortnitemares is a warm pretzel under a chocolate drizzle with sprinkles. It is not coated in a chocolate shell, so it gets messy, and it is really for people who love chocolate sauce. The Pumpkin Spice Cold Boo in Springfield is the better repeat buy: it is close to the Orlando version, not too sweet because the sweetness lives in the foam on top, and it comes in a fun collectible cup.

Bonus: the Hami Kuma popcorn bucket

It is not food exactly, but the collectible popcorn bucket is part of the HHN snack run every year. The 2026 Hollywood bucket is a Hami Kuma “werebear,” a fuzzy monster teddy in a plaid scarf, and it refills like the park’s other souvenir buckets. If you collect these, it is worth grabbing early in the season.

Is it more expensive than Orlando?

Yes and no, and the split is worth knowing if you have done Halloween Horror Nights on both coasts. On the food items that appear at both parks, Hollywood is actually a little cheaper: the Death by Cheese Stick is $8.99 here against $12.99 in Orlando, the Severed & Smoked Chicken is $10.99 against $12.99, and Steve’s Smuggled Peanut Butter Bites are $8.99 against $9.99. Where Hollywood costs more is drinks. The Pumpkin Spice Cold Boo is $10.99 here versus $10.00 in Orlando, and a single specialty cocktail is a flat $18.00, above Orlando’s $15.00 single-serve pour. At $10.99, that Cold Boo also runs more than a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, which is the kind of math that makes a second one a hard sell.

HHN Hollywood food FAQ

What food is available during the day at Universal Studios Hollywood? The Springfield (Treehouse of Horror) items, like the Sloppy D’oh and the Pumpkin Spice Cold Boo, and the Fortnitemares items at Tower Snacks, including the Battle Bus Dog, are sold during the day. The rest of the Halloween Horror Nights menu is served only at night during the event.

How much does Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood food cost? Food runs from $6.99 to $39.99, with most items between $8.99 and $18.99. The $39.99 Battle Bus Dog is a shareable 22-inch hot dog and the priciest single item. Specialty cocktails are almost all $18.00, with non-alcoholic versions at $12.00.

What is the most expensive item? The Fortnitemares Battle Bus Dog at $39.99, a 22-inch all-beef hot dog built to share.

Is Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood food cheaper than Orlando? For the dishes that appear at both parks, Hollywood is slightly cheaper. Drinks are the exception and run a little higher, including the Pumpkin Spice Cold Boo and the flat $18 specialty cocktails.
