Universal’s annual Halloween Horror Nights will be cancelled this year

So this is sobering. It seems that Universal Studios in Hollywood and Orlando are both shutting down and cancelling the upcoming HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS attraction due to the Covid-19 pandemic that is gripping the country.

This seems to be the sensible move on Universal's part, considering the situation, no matter how disappointing it is to many people.
