Guests may wear costumes to Universal Horror Unleashed (“Universal”) subject to Universal’s Code of Conduct and to the following costume guidelines:

• Guests must be fully clothed, including shoes and shirts.
• Guests may not wear clothing or accessories (e.g. uniforms, costumes or props) that may create a false impression that guests work for Universal or as emergency personnel, including, without limitation clothing or items identified with law enforcement, security, firefighters, emergency responders or the military.
• Except as required by Universal or for religious or medical reasons, guests may not wear any covering that fully or partially obscures a person’s face, including costume masks, facial coverings and face applications. Face painting is permitted only if it covers no more than one-half of the face (applied vertically only). Guests may be requested to modify their makeup or remove any type of facial covering to meet the above standards.
• No prosthetic makeup (including makeup that conceals part of the face, like the eyes, nose or mouth) is permitted.
• Clothing that Universal determines is indecent, exposes excessive portions of the skin or that Universal views as inappropriate for the environment (including, without limitation, gory or gruesome clothing or accessories) is prohibited.
• Service animals may not wear or be part of a costume.
• No weapons of any kind are permitted. Any item that resembles a weapon or is manufactured in the shape of a weapon is not permitted. Any items that could be used as a weapon are not permitted, including but not limited to: firearms, explosives, fireworks, chemical dispensing devices, clubs, sticks, knives, swords or other objects that may be used in any way to inflict bodily injury on another person.
• No special or atmospheric effects, including, without limitation, balloons, smoke, fog, powered effects and sound effects, are permitted.
• No long trains, stilts, or oversized costumes that could pose a safety hazard to guests or team members are permitted.
• Costumes may not interfere with security screening. Costumes cannot exceed 28 inches wide x 80 inches high to meet Universal’s metal detection regulations. Costumes are subject to secondary x-ray screenings.
• Universal reserves the right to preclude any costumes that may cause confusion that the guest is part of the Universal Horror Unleashed experience. Impersonating a Universal Horror Unleashed entertainer or character or performing, frightening or otherwise disrupting other guests or event operations is prohibited and may result in expulsion from Universal’s property.
