In an exciting move that will thrill horror fans, Universal Destinations & Experiences (UDX) has announced additional details about its first-ever year-round horror attraction, Universal Horror Unleashed, set to open in Las Vegas in 2025. Known globally for creating Halloween Horror Nights, Universal is taking its expertise in fright to new heights with this permanent installation, offering fans a chance to experience terror on a whole new level.
Housed in a darkened warehouse on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Universal Horror Unleashed will feature four immersive haunted houses that bring some of the most chilling stories to life. Guests will encounter classic Universal Monsters like Frankenstein and The Wolf Man, face the terror of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, navigate the twisted nightmare of Scarecrow: The Reaping, and endure the demonic possession of Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer. Each house promises an intense, fully immersive experience that surrounds guests with terrifying realism and unimaginable scares.
But the horror doesn’t end at the haunted houses. Four surrounding themed areas will offer live horror entertainment, exclusive seasonal events, and eerie food and drink options at horror-centric eateries and bars. Universal has promised an evolving experience, meaning new events, live shows, and one-of-a-kind merchandise will keep guests returning for fresh frights throughout the year.
