Live shows and performances have always been a part of Halloween Horror Nights since the beginning, and this year will be no different! Taking place on the former Fear Factor Live stage will be the return of Nightmare Fuel, a high octane show featuring illusionists, contortionists, acrobatics, mature dancing, and much more! This show is definitely not recommended for families, but is highly recommended for the outrageous horror fans. This year will bring a new nightmare to life by the Fuel Girls titled Nightmare Fuel: Revenge Dream.
Two highly themed fan favorites are also returning this year, but with a new twist — the Tribute Store and the Dead Coconut Club! The tribute store is a highly themed store located in the New York section of the park that pays tribute to the event with a unique fan fare. It's a must see stop along the HHN journey for sure! This year its theme is based on a mysterious NYC Comic Book Shop where you will get to walk into a horror comic brought to life. The Dead Coconut Club is also returning.
