Set to open in August 2025 (with a second location confirmed for Chicago in 2027), this year-round immersive horror experience will haunt the Las Vegas Strip with a sinister mix of scream-worthy haunted houses, chilling live entertainment zones, and frightfully themed food and drink offerings. And thanks to horror aficionado and podcast guest Dave Solo, we now have a clearer picture of what awaits inside this twisted warehouse of fear.
Here’s what’s been unleashed:
👻 Four Frightening Haunted Houses:
Universal Horror Unleashed will kick off with four haunted houses, each based on iconic horror properties:
- Universal Monsters – Classic creatures return to terrorize in a gothic, reimagined nightmare.
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Step into the Sawyer family’s slaughterhouse. Hope you brought a chainsaw-proof vest.
- Scarecrow: The Reaping – An original HHN fan-favorite rises again in a rusted, rotting rural nightmare.
- Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer – Fresh from the big screen, this one’s ready to possess you—body and soul.
🎭 Beyond the Houses: Four Themed Horror Zones
This isn’t just a haunted maze attraction—it’s a living, breathing horror destination. The venue will include four immersive entertainment zones, each packed with roaming scareactors, live horror experiences, and—of course—plenty of ghastly surprises lurking around every corner.
🍽️ Decadent Horror-Themed Food & Drink
Horror meets haute cuisine in this fright feast. Expect food and beverage offerings themed to match the terrifying environments around you. And according to Dave Solo, who confessed to being as much a foodie as a fright-fan, this element alone could be a headliner.
🎟️ Not Just for Halloween Anymore
What makes Universal Horror Unleashed a true game-changer is that it’s open year-round. That means horror fans can scream their hearts out any time of year, not just during spooky season. Whether it’s April or October, this Vegas venue promises to bring the chills 24/7, 365.
💀 For the Die-Hard & the Curious
Whether you’re a seasoned HHN veteran or a first-time fear-seeker, Dave promises this will be the ultimate entry point into the world of horror. With attention to detail, immersive storytelling, and decades of Universal horror legacy behind it, this is designed to be a destination for both hardcore fans and new initiates.
So pack your garlic, say your goodbyes, and get ready to step into a living nightmare—because Universal Horror Unleashed is coming, and it’s relentlessly sinister.
