Brightline is set to run a special one-night-only midnight train to bring Halloween Horror Nights fans back home.

On the last Saturday before Halloween, Horror Nights-goers can ride in style back to South Florida stops in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura and Miami.

The train hits the road at 12:15 a.m. Oct. 25. Guests also can grab onboard offerings like free spooky snacks, sleep masks and discounted drinks.

Brightline will also provide free one-way shuttle service from Universal Orlando to the Brightline Orlando station. Shuttle transportation is available from the park to the station, located at Orlando International Airport’s terminal C, only.

Brightline says guests booking travel should look for the “Late-Night Train Icon” on Sunday, Oct. 25, when selecting their itinerary.

The 35th anniversary of Halloween Horror Nights takes over Universal Orlando until Nov. 1. Universal promises this year’s event will blend legacy with blood-curdling scares — all culminating in the 2026 theme “Infernal Carnival of Nightmares.”

This year’s HHN boasts 10 haunted houses comprised of a mix of original concepts and franchise-themed madness: New this year are houses themed after the films Sinners, Hellraiser, Evil Dead Burn and the final season of Stranger Things. We’ll also slink our way through an Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness tribute house.

Brightline in late September made headlines when its parent companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, securing $490 million in new financing.

Brightline Trains Florida LLC, which operates the passenger service, is not part of the bankruptcy filing, and the company says trains will continue running normally throughout the restructuring.
