The fog is waiting…and it smells absolutely delicious. Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) is back for another season with a phenomenal lineup of jump-scares, ghoulish figures and, most importantly, themed food and beverage. Because who wants to simply enjoy a doughnut when they could enjoy a doughnut resembling a pale-faced horror icon with a grid of pins emanating from his skull?

Stranger Things Surfer Boy Pizza To-Go (Studio Cafe)
Is it a pizza van, or is it a makeshift sensory deprivation tank? At Surfer Boy Pizza, the answer is both. The fan-favorite pie joint from Netflix’s iconic series is returning for another year of slinging ‘zas at HHN. Consider this meal necessary carboloading before you try to survive Demogorgons, the Mind Flayer, and Vecna in the Stranger Things 5 haunted house.

Sinners (City Snack Shop)
If you’re already drooling over the Sinners menu at HHN, that’s a great sign — it means you haven’t been turned into a vampire! Well, yet. I personally can’t wait for this appropriately Southern-themed menu, which channels the 1930s Mississippi setting of this award-winning film.
