"Each haunted house is inspired by either original or beloved horror stories and features "dedicated show moments with deeper storytelling that places guests in the midst of horror," like "Blumhouse's The Exorcist: Believer," inspired by the 2023 film. Other haunted houses include "Universal Monsters," featuring legendary monsters from the historic film studio; "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," based on the original 1974 cult film; and "Scarecrow: The Reaping," an original Universal story."

"Universal Horror Unleashed, the first-ever year-round horror attraction created by Universal Destinations and Experiences, has opened at AREA15 in Las Vegas. The pioneering experiential art hub, home to Meow Wolf's Omega Mart, is "the world's first purpose-built immersive entertainment district" and is celebrating its 5-year anniversary."
