Universal sets opening date for year-round horror experience in Las Vegas
Universal’s long-awaited, year-round horror experience officially has an opening date in Las Vegas.
Dubbed “Universal Horror Unleashed,” Universal said the attraction will open its doors on August 14 at Area15.
According to the company, the attraction will feature four haunted houses, each of which will offer a “unique and fully immersive horror experience.”
The company said previously that the four haunted houses would be themed after the Universal Monsters franchise, the “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” film series, Scarecrow: The Reaping, a haunted house first seen at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios theme parks; and the 2023 horror film “The Exorcist: Believer.”
“Universal Horror Unleashed” comes from the team behind Halloween Horror Nights. It will mark the company’s first-ever year-round horror experience.
According to developers, the attraction will also feature areas with spooky eateries, bars with live entertainment experiences.
“Universal’s rich history in the creation of the horror genre drove our desire to bring a year-round horror experience to the incredible entertainment offerings in Las Vegas,” said Page Thompson, president of new ventures for Universal Destinations & Experiences, in a past statement. “We’re thrilled to have our award winning Creative and Entertainment teams working tirelessly to bring these terrors to life in 2025.”
Tickets for “Universal Horror Unleashed” are on sale now.
