We love the houses of Halloween Horror Nights. There would be no Halloween Horror Nights without them. But Halloween Horror Nights isn’t just a collection of scary Haunted Houses with no connective tissue between them. No, the event is a whole themed experience complete with scares on the streets, merchandise, and, of course, FOOD. At Universal Orlando’s 2025 Halloween Horror Nights media preview, we at Nerdist got to sample all the different foods you might be able to eat if you go to the Halloween extravaganza. But, of course, unless you’re there to chow down like we were, you’ll never be able to eat all of them in one night. That’s why we took careful notes to bring you the FOUR best foods you must try if you visit Halloween Horror Nights this year.
The 4 Best Food Items at Halloween Horror Nights
We chose two of the best savory foods and two of the best sweet Horror Nights food items for this list, to help you make you and your mouth very happy. Hopefully, with this specific guide, you’ll come out of the event feeling VERY satisfied. Let’s take a look.
The Best Savory Food Items at Halloween Horror Nights 2025
The Fritos Vegan Walking Taco Is Satisfying, Spicy, Savory, and Superb
We loved the Fritos Vegan Walking Taco so much that we wrote it an ode all its own. But we feel happy to praise it again. This incredible Walking Taco covers all the flavors you could experience in a food: sweet, spicy, sour, salty, savory—yum! And that’s what makes it one of Horror Nights’ best foods. In addition, it also has texture on-lock, giving us some excellent crunchy, soft and melty, and deliciously rich experiences for the mouth. The Fritos Vegan Walking Taco also comes in a heft portion that won’t make a mess as you wander through the park. Perfection!
The Fritos Vegan Walking Taco contains: “Vegan chorizo crumble, with Fritos, Salsa Verde, and Cilantro.”
Cheetos-Dusted Elotes Will Leave Your Fingers Orange and Your Mouth Happy
We guess it’s just a snack food-based year on our Halloween Horror Nights’ best-of list. But the Cheetos-Dusted Elotes is NOT to be missed. It really does have that perfect essence of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos that leaves your mouth slightly tingling and with the aftertaste of the snack. But it doesn’t have so much that it overpowers your experience completely. It’s a really fun feeling food to eat and the freshness of the corn is a nice juxtaposition to the rest of the food you might have at Halloween Horror Nights. We do love a little nutrition.
The Elotes is described as: “Fire-grilled corn on the husk with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.”
The Best Sweet Food Items at Halloween Horror Nights 2025
It turns out that while our favorite savory foods weren’t particularly themed, the best sweet foods at Halloween Horror Nights were plucked directly from our favorite IPs and Houses. Yes, in the sweet part of the list we’re celebrating Five Nights at Freddy‘s and Fallout.
Mr. Cupcake Makes a Great Cupcake
It just makes sense to turn Mr. Cupcake into a giant cupcake. This fearsome Five Nights at Freddy’s animatronic now becomes your favorite Halloween Horror Nights 2025 food. And although Mr. Cupcake is small compared to the other Five Nights at Freddy’s animatronics, he is a HUGE cupcake. But, in addition, he is delicious. It would have been so easy to go wrong with Mr. Cupcake, but Halloween Horror Nights really nailed it. Inside of Mr. Cupcake, there is raspberry jam and cannoli cream. The jam is nice and tart, and the cannoli cream is not too sweet, adding a true balance to whatever otherwise could have been just an aesthetic dessert. Our advice is to mash Mr. Cupcake up into a big pile of goop and then devour. Also, Mr. Cupcake IS aesthetic! BONUS!
Mr. Cupcake is described as a “chocolate cupcake with raspberry insert, cannoli cream filling, and cream cheese buttercream icing.”
Fallout’s “Yum Yum” Deviled Eggs are a GENIUS Halloween Horror Nights Dessert
What are deviled eggs doing here? You might be wondering. This is the best Halloween Horror Nights sweet food section! Well, Halloween Horror Nights has a prank for you. Embracing the cheerful, almost whimsical, yet dark vision of Fallout, Halloween Horror Nights turned Deviled Eggs into dessert. Yes. These eggs are actually made of only sweet ingredients… But their texture is incredibly similar to that of a Deviled Egg. And they are delicious. The white of the egg is a coconut Panna Cotta, while the yellow is a pineapple-whipped ganache. The hint of Tajin on top, the only savory component, really nicely sets everything off. But really, it’s the prank shenanigans of the construction that we enjoy the most. Plus, the eggs come in a nice tin, putting to mind good Vaulty eats.
There’s So Much More to Eat at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 2025
Of course, our list of best foods from Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights 2025 only scratches the surface. There’s a TON more to taste and try. But if you go, we hope this guide helps you at least to get started. Happy eating. Tickets for the event are now on sale.

Woody Allen has made 50 movies despite being accused of sexual assault in the 90s. The alleged assault was from Allen’s ex, Mia Farrow, an she alleged that Allen sexually assaulted their adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow. In recent years, Farrow’s story has become more prominent and many who once worked with the director have shared their remorse over doing so.
So it then begs the question: Why is he now doing an interview? And one with Bari Weiss, no less. The answer is that Allen wrote a book. One I won’t be reading but it is called What’s With Baum? and it is about “Asher Baum, a middle-aged Jewish writer with a secret that could unravel his life.” But, as Weiss wrote, it explores accusations, the truth, and you can guess where this is going.
