As the last month of summer plays out, fright fans are looking ahead to Universal Orlando Resort’s annual Halloween Horror Nights extravaganza kicking off next week.

The event, which runs from Aug. 29 to Nov. 2, is a ghoulish celebration of all things Halloween — from haunted houses inspired by horror films, thrillers and notable characters, to the one-night-only Premium Scream Night.

Another way to ring in spooky season at the theme park is by delving into the seasonal food and beverage offerings — or as Chris Colón, executive sous chef of research and development at Universal Orlando Resort, describes to TODAY.com, “disgustingly delicious” menu options.

“One of the things with Halloween Horror Nights again, it’s just so fun. So we want to kind of give you this … disgustingly delicious food, to where it’s like, ‘Oh my God, that is not this, but, oh, it’s so delicious,’” he says.

The Yum Yum Deviled Eggs, inspired by the park’s “Fallout”-themed haunted house, for example, has the appearance of a hard-boiled egg with a whipped mayonnaise-yolk filling. But upon biting into it, park-goers will have their worlds turned upside down.

“So 100%, it looks like deviled eggs and you’re kind of scared before you eat them, and they feel like deviled eggs in your hands, and then it’s this delicious coconut panna cotta with whipped pineapple ganache and tahini sprinkled on the top,” Colón explains. “So it’s like one of those, like, ‘I’m scared, but oh my goodness, how delicious is it.’”

Another aspect of the menu Colón is excited about is paying homage to the late WWE wrestler Bray Wyatts and The Wyatt Sicks, with a whole haunted house named after them this year.

“We finally got to cook food for something that we all loved growing up. So a couple of items there,” he says. “We got to bring a couple of members of The Wyatt Sicks to life via food.”

Many other menu items are thematically tied to eight of 10 haunted houses — “Fallout,” “Terrifier,” “Jason Universe,” “WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks,” “El Artista: A Spanish Haunting,” “Cursed Carnival,” “Dolls…Let’s Play Dead” and “The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane” — at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida.
