Universal Destinations & Experiences has announced the opening of its first year-round horror attraction, Universal Horror Unleashed, in Las Vegas. This new venture will debut in 2025 at Area15 and is designed to offer a permanent immersive horror experience outside of Universal's traditional theme parks.

The announcement was made on Halloween, aligning with Universal's longstanding association with the horror genre. Page Thompson, president of new ventures for Universal Destinations & Experiences, stated that "Universal's rich history in the creation of the horror genre drove our desire to bring a year-round horror experience to the incredible entertainment offerings in Las Vegas."

The attraction will feature four haunted houses: Universal Monsters, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scarecrow: The Reaping, and Blumhouse's The Exorcist: Believer. According to Universal, these experiences "aren't for the faint of heart" and promise intense moments where guests are surrounded by horror.
