Stranger Things,The Last of Us, and More Spooky Treats at Halloween Horror Nights
At Halloween Horror Nights Orlando, Eddie Munson fans can eat their hearts out with Stranger Things treats, while The Last of Us survivalists can collect their FEDRA rations.
This year’s HHN Orlando houses and original mythology delve into the fantastical, the post-apocalyptic, the Upside Down, and the slashers, with Chucky, Stranger Things, and The Last of Us leading the charge. As is tradition, the theme park ramped up its food offerings to match, both sweet and savory—but mostly sweet, so you can get a sugar high to replenish your energy after all that running and screaming. A good themed treat is more than just an edible printed image slapped on a cake; it needs personality or to fit perfectly in-universe to have that coveted “it factor” for photos. With that in mind, here’s a look at the onslaught of Halloween Horror Nights morsels to snack on between frights at Universal Studios Orlando.
Based on the ravioli rations from the Naughty Dog game franchise, and with lots of Cordyceps mushroom notes!
This one was one of my favorites; the coffee gives you a lil’ boosty boost to put up with the long line for The Last of Us house.
Inspired by the Jif moment in the show, Yuri is homaged with his own cake jar filled with whipped peanut butter mousse and Reese’s Pieces.
This hot dog was reported to be awful by attendees; the bun is funfetti and has bubblegum mustard. Don’t do it.
This one was really popular among attendees and a great in-universe addition. I could see Dustin’s mom making these for a Hellfire Club meeting.
Even if you’re not vegan, this was absolutely a hit among the HHN crowd.
These desserts feature cool designs showcasing icons from the series. Find inside the HHN Tribute Store.
Looks shareable and comes with a collectible container which can be repurposed for other beverages. You can pour a little something out for Eddie. This one is also inside the Tribute Store.
The Chucky booth had a long line due to the popularity of the “Fried Til’ The End” chicken and the “Heart of Damballa” specialty drink.
Lots of food dye here! Find inside the Tribute Store.
Available inside the Tribute Store.
Can’t go wrong with devil horns and chocolate.
They look cursed but are so tasty! Find them at the Minion Cafe.

This event roundup, which includes activations for major studio projects, was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of writers and actors currently on strike, the films and TV covered here wouldn’t exist.
