Universal Unleashed, the new year-round Halloween Horror Nights experience coming to Las Vegas, has revealed new information on the classic Universal Monsters house that will be prominently featured.
The following press release comes from NBC/Universal:
Cinema’s most feared icons will rise from the shadows as Universal Horror Unleashed unveils additional details of the iconic Universal Monsters haunted house, alongside the gothic Dead Storage themed area and The Boiler, a twisted cocktail bar where the machinery isn’t the only thing alive. Together, these experiences bring new dimensions of spine-tingling entertainment to Universal Destinations & Experiences’ first-ever year-round horror destination, opening its doors in Las Vegas on August 14.

Horror’s most emblematic icons await in the Universal Monsters haunted house, where the cinematic legends have broken free from the silver screen to stalk unwitting victims. Guests will pass through the crumbling mausoleum of famed monster hunter Van Helsing and into the cursed domains of creatures that defined the genre. From the shadowy halls of Castle Dracula, to the sandy tombs guarded by The Mummy, to the crackling lab where Frankenstein and The Bride still draw breath – this haunted house resurrects the most legendary monsters of all time in one continuous nightmare.
Prior to entering Van Helsing’s realm, guests will be submerged into monstrous tales and face chilling stunts and interactions in Dead Storage, one of the themed areas within the abandoned production warehouse. Echoing the grandiosity of Universal’s earliest horror productions, Dead Storage will envelop guests in a shadow-filled sanctuary with forgotten set pieces and eerie relics that have been reclaimed by night-dwelling creatures – vampires, a werewolf in mid-transformation, and others that emerge without warning.

Lurking past Dead Storage lies The Boiler bar, a looming mechanical beast pulsing with heat and menace. Nestled at the heart of the venue where multiple horror zones converge, The Boiler is equal parts hellish spectacle and welcome reprieve, offering guests a perfect vantage point for those seeking momentary respite while remaining immersed in the action, enjoying craft cocktails underneath a monstrous flaming machine.
