Just stop reading, if you don't have teens: this is way too scary for younger kids or most adults. Teens, however, lap up horror and Universal Orlando is serving plenty at both its theme parks (Universal Studios Florida, and Islands of Adventure) this month. Act fast, because events are selling out.

Halloween Horror Nights

It's the 14th year for this annual horrorfest, which has now taken over the Islands of Adventure theme park, in addition to Universal Studios. The event takes place on several weekends, and some dates are already sold out: if you're planning on going, order tickets online to make sure you get in.

Highlights include:

• 7 all-new haunted houses
• 4 all-new Scare Zones
• Festival of the Dead Parade
• new Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure Show

As if that's not enough, hundreds of "scare-actors" are lurking behind every corner.
