Universal announced the four year-round haunted houses that will be available at Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas.
Universal Horror Unleashed Haunted Houses
Universal previously teased a major Horror Unleashed announcement. On Halloween, they shared a video on social media announcing the haunted houses:
- Universal Monsters
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Scarecrow: The Reaping
- Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer
Universal Monsters are a mainstay of Halloween Horror Nights, frequently appearing in their own houses. The Horror Unleashed house could be based on one we’ve seen at HHN or something new. There have been multiple Texas Chainsaw Massacre houses over the years, including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Legacy of Leatherface at Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Studios Hollywood this year. Scarecrow: The Reaping has appeared at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood. The Exorcist: Believer was introduced at Halloween Horror Nights 32/2023.
These houses will be available year-round at Universal Horror Unleashed, although it seems likely they will be replaced or rotated with other experiences in the future.
Universal also shared some concept art of the new experience, which is scheduled to open in 2025. One piece depicts a gothic castle, perhaps for the Universal Monsters house.
Another piece shows a circus hosted by famous Halloween Horror Nights icon Jack the Clown. There appears to be a bar within the circus.
Another piece features bloody targets and jack-o’-lanterns in a decrepit wood building.
The experience is part of a 20-acre expansion to the AREA15 entertainment district. Fans can sign up for updates on UniversalHorrorUnleashed.com, which features this description:
