Sweet Revenge (Scarezone) was one of the five scarezones featured during Halloween Horror Nights 31. It was located in New York (Orlando) and would revolve around an evil candymaker turning all of a town's child populace into crazed killers.

History and Location[]

On August 16th, 2022, Universal announced that a scarezone themed around a bunch of evil trick or treaters turned evil by candy would be featured during their Halloween Horror Nights event that year. The trick or treaters aspect of this zone tied into the events overall theme that year of Traditional Halloween.

The scarezone would be located in the large New York area of the park, which is a recreation of the city of New York.

A story of the same name was also released that year. It was based on the events that took place leading up to this scarezone.

In 2024, two years after this event, Universal would announce a prequel house to the scarezone called Major Sweets’ Candy Factory that would be featured at that year's event set during a field trip to the titular factory and revealing what was added to the candy to transform the children into murderers.

Story[]

See Sweet Revenge (Story)

This scarezone takes place in 1954 in town named Hollow Hills during an Annual Halloween Party Parade. The party is sponsored by a Candy Company owned by Major Sweets. The candy turns the kids into horrific killers. They would drool chocolate as they attack the adults. The parade has crashed all over the streets and guests would have to wind their way through them. The zone featured many show moments.

Scarezone[]

Scattered throughout the streets of New York were three parade floats: one themed to a graveyard, one themed to a witch, and the last being themed to candy. A judge's booth was also built in the corner, next to a candy stand filled with candy and wrapped heads on lollipop sticks. To the left of that was a tent with a tractor crashed in it. A bloodied corpse wrapped in orange Halloween lights was crashed into it. Major Sweets's van could also be seen, the trunk open and full of weapons.

Further on into the zone, a dead couple could be seen in front of a picture of a cornfield. Colorful flashing lights were strung up above, and various Halloween props were scattered about such as pumpkin decorations and haybales. Projections of the silhouettes of various townsfolk could also be seen in the windows, most being stabbed by maniacal kids. Other projections showed kids eating the candy and turning evil.

Various scareactors would roam around the sweets, including the trick or treaters who ate the candy and became evil, the townsfolk who run around warning guests not to eat the candy, and Major Sweets and Miss Treats, who would facilitate the madness. Every once in a while, a victim scareactor would go up to the judge's booth and warn guests not to eat the candy. A trick or treater would come up behind him to stab him as he screamed.

Another mini show was featured on the Graveyard float. The Hollow Hills Mayor and his daughter would present the key to the city to Major Sweets as the actor on the judge's booth commentated. Major Sweets would hand the daughter a knife from the back of his truck, which she would use to stab the mayor in the back as the judge watched in horror. Major Sweets would laugh maniacally and give the girl a high five before stealing away with the key.
