1) Sunflower Glasses

The Instagrammable lemon cookie glasses with raspberry filling tied to the Terrifier haunted house are destined to become a social media sensation.

“In the second film, there’s an iconic scene where Art the Clown is trying on the sunflower glasses and makes a smiley face,” Thrash said. “The guests will be able to hold them up to make it look like they’re wearing them.”

Slash Bar

The Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist has created a soundtrack for the Scarecrow: Music by Slash haunted house and helped create the food and drink menu at the Slash-themed bar above the entrance to Jurassic World — The Ride.

Slash’s Hat Cake is a vanilla sponge cake with tropical habanero inside, a honey drizzle and black velvet spray frosting that won’t turn your mouth or lips black.

“There’s black lights at the Slash Bar,” Thrash said. “You’ll start to see it glow as you walk through the experience.”

The Gouda fondue served in a sourdough bread bowl is tied to the Jason Universe haunted house.

“This ties back to Camp Crystal Lake,” Thrash said. “What would you find there? What would I like to be dipping into at a campfire? That’s how the fondue came about.”

4) Five Nights at Freddy’s Cupcake

The chocolate cupcake with cannoli filling and strawberry mousse topping looks like the Cupcake animatronic figure seen in the Five Nights at Freddy’s haunted house.

“He is an animatronic cupcake that is actually a little bit terrifying,” Thrash said. “For ours we made him a little bit cuter.”

5) Jason Mask S’more

The traditional s’mores with graham cracker and chocolate dessert designed to look like the killer’s hockey mask is also tied to the Jason Universe haunted house.

“We’re making the marshmallow in house,” Thrash said. “We’re putting it in the molds, torching it and then we’re blood splattering it.”

6) Yum Yum Deviled Egg

Hollywood and Dine

The Yum Yum Deviled Egg tied to the Fallout haunted house based on the video game and TV show is not what it seems. Instead of a savory egg, the Universal chefs have created a sweet dessert that looks exactly like a deviled egg.

It’s made with coconut panna cotta with pineapple Chamoy on the inside, a mango-flavored “egg yolk” with a little bit of tahini on top.

“The Yum Yum Deviled Eggs are taken directly from the series and the game,” Thrash said. “It’s a pre-war food. So we took our play on it.”
