Universal Horror Unleashed is now offering tickets for its grand opening this summer in Las Vegas’ premier immersive entertainment hub, AREA15. This Universal Destinations and Experiences satellite station is bringing the infamous Halloween Horror Nights to a year-round venue, located just off the Strip, with a plethora of terrifying monsters making their debut on August 14, following closely on the heels of Epic Universe’s launch. The attraction’s initial featured franchises will include the Universal Monsters, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist: Believer, and the Horror Nights favorite, Scarecrow: The Reaping.

Start planning your Summerween celebrations to kick off the season in Vegas with Leatherface, the Universal Monsters, and many more. Judging from the preview, it’s going to be a killer way to beat the heat, featuring haunted houses, thrilling entertainment, including the infamous Jack the Clown, and an array of spooky dining options. This experience will be joining AREA15’s existing offerings, which include Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart. Here’s a sneak peek:

As previously announced, the year-round attraction will play host to limited runs of houses inspired by Universal Studios’ horror properties and original Horror Nights characters, as seen at Universal’s theme parks. We’re crossing our fingers that some of our all-time favorite haunts, like Universal Studios Florida’s Slaughter Sinema and Universal Studios Hollywood’s Alien vs. Predator, will be featured in the future.

With the opening date approaching, we’re excited to learn more about the themed dining and drinks that will undoubtedly pay homage to the studio’s rich legacy in horror, both past and present. It’s a given that HHN East’s cult favorite pizza fries will have to be on the menu. And, it’s fantastic to see Jack the Clown taking center stage in the teaser – the HHN icon definitely deserves the spotlight and more recognition.

Tickets are now available for purchase through Universal Horror Unleashed’s official website, with prices starting at $69 for a single pass through the haunts and $99 for unlimited access.
