Universal Horror Unleashed Brings Year-Round Screams to Las Vegas Starting August 14
Las Vegas is already the entertainment capital of the world—but it’s about to get much scarier. According to Universal, the masterminds behind Halloween Horror Nights are unleashing a brand-new, year-round horror attraction in Sin City, and it’s set to open August 14, 2025. Welcome to Universal Horror Unleashed, a fully immersive nightmare experience that promises to bring your deepest fears to terrifying life—all year long.

What Is Universal Horror Unleashed?
Housed inside Warehouse 25, a fictional abandoned production facility filled with cursed film props and haunted set pieces, Universal Horror Unleashed isn’t just a haunted house—it’s a living horror story. The immersive space features:
- Four terrifying haunted houses based on:
- Universal Monsters
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Scarecrow: The Reaping
- Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer
- Four themed live entertainment zones, including:
- A gothic vampire-filled Hollywood set
- A slasher-infested film vault
- A graveyard of possessed props
- A twisted carnival-themed storage yard
- Themed food and drinks worthy of a scream (and maybe a second helping)
Not Just Jump Scares—A Story You Can Sink Your Fangs Into
Unlike Halloween Horror Nights, which focuses on high-speed thrills and quick frights, Universal Horror Unleashed lets you linger in the fear. Guests are encouraged to take their time, explore the chilling stories behind the scares, and interact with richly detailed environments. As TJ Mannarino, Universal’s VP of Art and Design, put it: “This experience gives guests more time to really enjoy the characters and learn their stories.”
That means whether you’re a longtime horror hound or brand new to the genre, there’s something here that will get under your skin.

Designed to Scare—Scientifically
Scares at Universal Horror Unleashed aren’t just random—they’re engineered. “There really is a science to how we build these rooms and how we scare people,” explains show director Nate Stevenson. From sound effects that make your skin crawl to shadowy figures waiting just beyond your peripheral vision, every detail is precisely designed to target your specific fears.
And yes, that means whether it’s jump scares, eerie atmospheres, or just a sound that reminds you of a broken bone (shudder), this experience will hit you right where it hurts—in the best way.
Get Ready to Scream—Tickets On Sale Now
Opening August 14, 2025, Universal Horror Unleashed is the first-ever permanent, year-round horror experience from Universal, and it’s already shaping up to be the must-visit destination for horror fans in Las Vegas.
