Mel's Drive-In is a 50's style restaurant located in the Hollywood area of Universal Studios Orlando. The outside area of this restaurant was used for scarezones during Halloween Horror Nights.

For Halloween Horror Nights, the "R" and "V" letters on the neon sign are dimmed, changing the name to "Mel's Die-In". At HHN 32, Mel's Die-In was closed for refurbishment. A food booth with the same name, Mel's Die-In Food Booth, was available nearby in Battery Park.
