“Horror is not just for Halloween anymore,” Universal’s Mark Woodbury told Bloomberg back in January, announcing an upcoming year-round, all-horror destination in Las Vegas.
Universal Horror Unleashed is the destination’s official title, we’ve now learned today!
The destination, which essentially turns Halloween Horror Nights into a year-round affair, is said to feature “content from both historical and upcoming films” from Universal.
Bloomberg explained, “At 110,000 square feet, it will be the anchor tenant in a 20-acre expansion of Area15, an entertainment district that opened in 2020. The location, near the city’s famous Strip and off of the 15 freeway, already includes themed restaurants and entertainment attractions such as Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, an immersive art experience.”
No word yet on when the spooky space will be opening up for business, but it sounds like Las Vegas is about to become a “bucket list” destination for horror fans across the world.
Stay tuned for more as we learn it!
Oh, the horror. 😈
