There’s a new Jack in town… literally. Universal Horror Unleashed, the first-ever year-round horror experience from the creative minds at Universal, is now open in the AREA15 District in Las Vegas.
“Today marks an exciting step in our expansion into new markets as we officially welcome guests to Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas,” said Page Thompson, President, New Ventures, Universal Destinations and Experiences. “Horror Unleashed will provide unique character interactions that will thrill fans of both horror and immersive entertainment.”
Housed in what looks like an abandoned production warehouse, you’ll step into four haunted houses filled with iconic characters and chilling original stories. You’ll face Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, bloodthirsty scarecrows in Scarecrow: The Reaping, legendary creatures in Universal Monsters, and the evil forces of The Exorcist: Believer.
Face the dust storms of the Midwest in Scarecrow: The Reaping, an original story that takes you back in time to a dry, barren 1930s farmland ravaged by farmers and taken over by horrifying inhabitants arising from the land: bloodthirsty scarecrows bent on revenge.
Take a journey through the 1974 horror masterpiece in the “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” haunted house. Come face-to-face with Leatherface and every member of his deranged family and their victims, as the terrifying sound of chainsaws haunts at every turn.
Face cinema’s most feared icons in Universal Monsters, where horror legends have broken free from the silver screen to stalk unwitting victims. From the shadowy halls of Castle Dracula, to the sandy tombs guarded by The Mummy, to the crackling lab where Frankenstein and The Bride still draw breath – this haunted house resurrects the most legendary monsters of all time in one continuous nightmare.
Descend into demonic possession in Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer, and find yourself deep in the shadowy woods where best friends Katherine and Angela mysteriously vanish – only to be discovered days later with no memory of what happened. From there, the terror builds room by room as the girls’ disturbing transformation unfolds, going from the hospital to the girls’ homes to witnessing the actual exorcism as everyone is surrounded by supernatural chaos.
Between scares, you can explore four themed scare zones packed with creepy live entertainment. from a twisted doll-filled Prop Graveyard to the deranged circus of Jack’s Alley. You’ll be surrounded by immersive horror, street performances, and monsters just waiting to catch you off guard.
Need a break? Grab a creepy cocktail at Boiler Bar, snack on spicy street food at Rough Cuts, or sip and shiver at the eerie Premiere House tapas bar.
Exclusive merch is also available, including Spirit Jerseys, horror collectibles, Jack the Clown and Las Vegas–themed souvenirs.
