Yeti: Terror of the Yukon was one of the ten haunted houses that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights 29. It was located in Soundstage 24.
History and Location[]
On June 24th, 2019, Universal announced that a haunted house based in a Canadian logger camp being attacked by a tribe of Yetis would be coming to their Halloween Horror Nights event that year. The codename for this house was "Jerky", a reference to the Jack Link's Beef Jerky commercials that had a Sasquatch.
The house would be one of two located in Soundstage 24, the other one being Us. Soundstage 24 is one of the larger soundstage facilities designed to be used as filming locations for movies and television shows.
In 2020, a story based around this haunted house was released by Charles Gray. The story would be called "Terror of the Yukon".
In 2023, a sequel haunted house would be made featuring the same tribe of Yetis as in this house. This house would be called YETI: Campground Kills and would feature the Yetis terrorizing a campsite in the Rocky Mountains.
Description[]
In a remote part of Canada, loggers and trappers seek refuge from the elements. You're in Yeti territory, and they'll stop you cold.
YOU'LL BE FROZEN WITH FEAR
In a remote part of Canada that's all but uninhabitable, loggers and trappers seek refuge from the cold in an isolated camp. But there is no escape from beasts as brutal as the winter.
Enter a logging camp that's been torn apart, floors caked with snow and gore. Right outside, screams are frozen on the faces of those who fled the towering monsters only to succumb to the elements. Cringe at the trail of blood leading to caves no humans have lived to see.
You're in Yeti territory, and they'll stop you cold.
(Additional Description)
Story[]
Deep in the remote tundra of the Yukon, loggers and trappers seek refuge from the frigid grip of an arctic blizzard. But out in the darkness, a terror lurks far more dangerous than the deluge of snow and ice. These unfortunate souls have intruded into a territory that is haunted by their worst nightmares. Enter a logging camp that’s been torn apart, floors caked with snow, bones and gore. Right outside, screams are frozen on the faces of those who fled the towering monsters only to succumb to the elements. But there is no escape from beasts as brutal as the winter.
The Yetis[]
Just when you thought the only thing to fear was the elements, an icy terror will descend over you. Cringe at the trail of blood leading to caves none have lived to see. As you enter the labyrinth of caves, you’ll hear the screaming echoes of those who couldn’t escape the inevitable. If you survive long enough to see the end, you’re likely to find the remains of those who came before you and meet their same demise. You’re in Yeti territory now. They’re stone cold vicious and will stop at nothing for a taste of blood. If the cold doesn’t get you, they will.
Experience[]
Queue and Facade[]
Guests entered the line through the Jimmy Fallon ride queue. Guests would walk down the hallway with the history of the NBC logo before reaching the area where the regular and express lines split. Guests would then make their way to the left side of Soundstage 24 where the queue would loop a few times. They would then enter the soundstage from the back. As guests enter, they would be able to see a cabin with a gigantic hole ripped through it. Snow falls from above and the temperature has a noticeable drop. Guests then enter the hole in the cabin into the house.
Haunted House[]
After entering through a couple of rooms in the cabin, guests would exit through the back where they are greeted by the entrance to Shadow Creek Camp. To the left a Yeti pops out, while on the right guests could see a cabin. Inside the window, guests could see a Yeti killing some campers. Popping out behind a tree on the left, Ben MacReady would shoot at guests. The next scene was the inside of the cabin with windows where guests could see a camper impaled on deer antlers that were hung up on a wall. In the same room, a Yeti eating a man's intestines (who was a scareactor) on a table could be seen on the left while Old Beard with a shotgun jumps out on the right. Guests would then enter a small "outdoor" hallway that leads to a tent.
Inside the tent, guests could see the projection of a Yeti killing someone outside the tent. A Yeti would jump out from behind a curtain on the left. After another small "outdoor" room, guests would enter another building, where a man with no arm could be seen. A Yeti then comes up from behind him and shoves his arm through the man's chest. Meanwhile, another Yeti pops out on the right. Guests would then go back "outside" and enter the sawmill, where a villager tells guests to be quiet. As he does this, a Yeti comes through a door in front of him, crushing him. Behind a bush, Lumber Jill could be seen being mauled by a Yeti on the right. Entering a barn, guests could see a wooden door that is being banged on outside by some unseen horses. Across from them, a giant burning hole in the wall could be seen. Behind it, a villager pretending to be dead (with part of his face ripped off) could be seen.
Going back "outside", guests would enter a large trench-like area. Above on a log, a Yeti would reach down at guests. Above, a Yeti could be seen roaring as another villager comes out with a shotgun, shooting at both guests and the Yeti. The next scene featured the Yeti's icy cave lair, where many of their half-eaten victims could be seen. Through a hole in the wall, a Yeti would attack guests on a platform while another from behind would jump out. The final scene featured a dark forest, where three Yeti's (the last one being on an elevated platform) would jump out at guests. After leaving that room, guests would exit the house.

Trivia[]
- One of the camps in this house is called Shadow Creek Camp. This is a reference to Shadowcreek Labs, the setting of the popular Havoc houses.
- One of the victims in this house is wearing Marty's mask from the Poltergeist house.
- Allegedly, the icicles in the cave were originally built for the Halloween Horror Nights 27 show, Academy of Villains: Afterlife. Ultimately, they were never used in the show due to Hurricane Irma.
- They brought the mask of the Swamp Yeti back for the Yeti scareactors.
- Show Director Charles Gray wanted this haunted house to start out as more of a mystery than original haunted houses in years past. Guests should feel as if they've walked through a crime scene, trying to piece together what happened around every turn.
- Exterior and interior moments were key in this haunted house, as Designer Nick Collins worked within a limited footprint so guests could fully be bombarded by not only Yeti attacks, but also the barren, frozen tundra that can be just as deadly.
- Show Director Charles Gray likes to place bits of comical misfortune throughout original haunted houses. He finds horror to be found in the irony of life.
- In researching for this haunted house, Designers actually learned about different types of logger titles, such as a "Buck Sawyer" being the person who worked on the wood logs that have already been de-limbed using a very large saw to cut down to size.
- Charles Gray has said this house take place in the Yukon but well before The Gold Rush.
- After the success of Slaughter Sinema and Attack of the Swamp Yeti, Gray and A&D would follow up the idea of Yeti's with this house.
- Old Beard was occasionally played by Halloween Horror Nights veteran ChainsawWolf.
