Stay and Scream is a method in which guests could enter select Halloween Horror Nights haunted houses early if they have a daytime Universal pass as well as an HHN pass. Normally, guests would scan their tickets at select areas of the park and enter a holding area, where they wait for the park to close and all the normal guests to leave.
At certain designated time periods, the holding areas would open into the haunted houses queues the guests pick in the holding area, allowing guests to enter haunted houses before the event officially opens.
