Universal Horror Unleashed is a 40-acre immersive entertainment district and events destination. Universal teased horror like you’ve never seen before, “encountering unimaginable monstrous creatures lurking around every corner.” Ooh — spooky! Look out for four themed immersive areas and four haunted houses. This brand-new attraction will officially open on August 14th, 2025. Are you ready? You’re not ready.

Now, as we mentioned, this attraction will host four haunted houses. The haunted houses are inspired by:

Universal Monsters
Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Scarecrow: The Reaping

OK, horror fans, intrigued yet? Universal just shared a new preview of one of its houses, so be prepared to be WOWED by the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre house.

As you may have guessed, this new house is based on the 1974 horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Universal teased that this haunted house will bring the original film to life for the first time in a linear sequence, and visitors will make their way through the horrifying scenes and encounter iconic characters.

The story begins in a Texan cemetery, followed by an encounter with the Old Man at the dusty gas station featured in the infamous barbecue scene. From there, you will enter the infamous dilapidated home and come face-to-face with Leatherface and every member of his deranged family. AHHH!

The experience continues in Kill Vault, one of the four themed immersive areas within Universal Horror Unleashed. Here, you’ll want to be aware of your surroundings — the area is filled with rusty knives and machetes, plus you might encounter a strange surgeon or a psychotic slasher. EEK! Universal also teased new details about Rough Cuts, where you can feast on “chainsaw” carved small plates as you “witness a variety of show moments.” Dinner and a show, anyone?

Speaking of — you can also visit Jack’s Alley Bar, themed to Horror Nights icon Jack the Clown. This spot will feature specialty-themed cocktails and acrobatic performances in a “circus-like hellscape” environment.
