🤡 "Stranger Things" at HHN

Universal Orlando

If you're reading this, it could mean you either don't watch "Stranger Things," you've taken a break from binge-watching the new season or you've already finished it. Regardless, I hope your decision to read this whole newsletter is validated with this news: Universal Orlando has announced new details about its upcoming "Stranger Things" maze coming to Halloween Horror Nights this fall. Find out what to expect of the maze's second year and share it with your friends, if you're brave enough to handle it.
