👻 Coming to Las Vegas in August 2025: Universal Horror Unleashed

🎃 Where Nightmares Never Sleep

Las Vegas is no stranger to jaw-dropping attractions, but this August 2025, something darker—and far more sinister—is stirring beneath the neon lights. Universal Horror Unleashed is set to open as Las Vegas’ first-ever permanent horror experience, bringing chills, screams, and cinematic terror to the Entertainment Capital of the World.

Brought to life by the creative masterminds at Universal Destinations & Experiences, this year-round, high-end horror destination will deliver heart-pounding thrills with a terrifying level of realism. This isn’t a pop-up haunted house. It’s a fully immersive nightmare designed for true horror fans.

💀 What to Expect Inside

At the core of Universal Horror Unleashed are four haunted houses, each a living nightmare inspired by Universal’s legendary legacy of horror storytelling—both on screen and in their famed Halloween Horror Nights.

🧛‍♂️ Universal Monsters

Wander into ancient catacombs and shadowy forests as you face Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Mummy, and the Wolf Man. This house fuses gothic horror with eerie atmosphere, reminding you why these creatures have terrified audiences for generations.

🔪 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The chainsaw roars, the blood flies, and escape is nearly impossible. Venture into the twisted world of the Sawyer family in this intensely graphic, panic-inducing house that recreates scenes straight out of the iconic slasher franchise.

🌾 Scarecrow: The Reaping

Set in Depression-era farmland plagued by darkness and desperation, this original concept haunted house brings nightmares to life with haunting visuals, gory surprises, and a terrifying message: nature always reclaims what it’s owed.

👹 Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer

Evil takes root in the most innocent of places. Inspired by Blumhouse’s chilling reboot, this house throws you headfirst into demonic possession, unsettling rituals, and spine-tingling soundscapes that will follow you long after you’ve left.
