As we write this post, it is 7:00pm in Osaka and tonight is Opening Night for the Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Studios Japan. That means their gates should have opened a half hour ago. And, with the first HHN event to open somewhere in the world, it’s official: the Halloween Horror Nights 2014 season is here! Let the screaming begin!

We’ll be updating this post with tweets, photos and videos from USJ’s opening night, so if you’re interested in seeing how the scares happen in The Land of the Rising Sun, keep checking this post.
