Backstory[]
Step inside of Universal Horror Unleashed and you’ll find yourself in Warehouse 25, an abandoned production warehouse filled with cursed and haunted set pieces, film props, and other mysterious paraphernalia from Universal’s legacy of horror.
Haunted Houses[]
- Universal Monsters - Horror’s most emblematic icons await in the Universal Monsters haunted house, where the cinematic legends have broken free from the silver screen to stalk unwitting victims.
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Based on the 1974 horror masterpiece, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” haunted house will bring to life the original film for the first time in a linear sequence, placing guests in the footsteps of the victims as they face horrifying iconic scenes and characters. Their journey starts in a Texan cemetery – the first fateful stop – followed by an encounter with the Old Man at the dusty gas station featured in the chilling barbecue scene. As they enter the infamous dilapidated home, guests will come face-to-face with Leatherface and every member of his deranged family and their victims, as the terrifying sound of chainsaws haunts them at every turn.
- The Exorcist Believer - Share the fate of two possessed girls as you withstand the assault of an ancient demon in Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer
- Scarecrow: The Reaping - Scarecrow: The Reaping plunges you into the middle of a dusty nightmare. You’ll explore a farm during the great Midwestern Dust Bowl of the 1930s where horrifying scarecrows come to life to wreak havoc on those who’ve ravaged their land.
Immersive Areas[]
- Kill Vault
- Prop Graveyard
- Dead Storage - Echoing the grandiosity of Universal’s earliest horror productions, Dead Storage will envelop guests in a shadow-filled sanctuary with forgotten set pieces and eerie relics that have been reclaimed by night-dwelling creatures – vampires, a werewolf in mid-transformation, and others that emerge without warning.
Dining[]
- Jack's Alley
- Rough Cuts
- Premiere House
- The Boiler bar - The Boiler is equal parts hellish spectacle and welcome reprieve, offering guests a perfect vantage point for those seeking momentary respite while remaining immersed in the action, enjoying craft cocktails underneath a monstrous flaming machine.
