Universal Horror Unleashed's grand opening is right around the corner on August 14, with the Las Vegas-based year-round, immersive horror experience revealing another of its terrifying haunted houses today with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Based on Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror masterpiece, Universal Unleashed's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre haunt will bring attendees face-to-face with Leatherface and every member of his deranged family, placing guests in the footsteps of the victims as they face horrifying iconic scenes and characters. The journey starts with a fateful stop at a Texan cemetery, followed by an encounter with the Old Man at the dusty gas station featured in the chilling barbecue scene.
Hungry? An official press release reveals more of what fans can expect from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre haunt:
The experience continues in Kill Vault, one of the four themed immersive areas within Universal Horror Unleashed. Surrounded by rusty knives and machetes, the eerie characters at Kill Vault – from a strange surgeon to psychotic slashers – are lurking in the shadows attempting to lure their next victim as they interact with everyone in sight. This area also features Rough Cuts, where guests can feast on “chainsaw” carved small plates as they witness a variety of show moments. These highly themed areas at Universal Horror Unleashed add another level of guest interaction with characters – where they can even hear their haunting backstories – combined electrifying performances, immersing guests in horror entertainment like never before.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre haunt joins the previously revealed Scarecrow: The Reaping house, as well as Universal Monsters and The Exorcist: Believer themed areas.
