In an unexpected twist, Universal has announced their intention to make horror an everyday thrill rather than just a Halloween treat. Back in January, Mark Woodbury, a representative of Universal, revealed plans for an immersive year-round horror destination in Las Vegas.

This macabre haven has been officially christened as “Universal Horror Unleashed,” adding to the anticipation surrounding the venture.

Universal Horror Unleashed aims to transform the concept of Halloween Horror Nights into a perennial attraction, offering visitors a continuous dose of fear and excitement. The destination will serve as a reservoir of horror, drawing content from both iconic classics and forthcoming Universal film releases.

Covering a sprawling 110,000 square feet, Universal Horror Unleashed will serve as the cornerstone of a 20-acre expansion within Area15, an entertainment district that first opened its doors in 2020. Located in proximity to the famed Las Vegas Strip and conveniently accessible via the 15 freeway, Area15 already boasts themed restaurants and captivating entertainment options, including Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, an immersive artistic adventure.

While the exact launch date remains shrouded in mystery, one thing is certain – Las Vegas is poised to emerge as a must-visit destination for horror enthusiasts from around the globe.

Stay alert for further updates as we dive deeper into the abyss of this spine-tingling development.

Prepare for an everlasting thrill as Universal Horror Unleashed creeps into the heart of Las Vegas, promising to send shivers down the spines of those brave enough to venture into its chilling depths.

Oh, the horror. 😈
