Guests can immersive themselves into this world of Infected and follow in the footsteps of Joel and Ellie as they encounter a fungal virus that turns humans into various forms of a new threat called the Infected
Guests will encounter the Infected – Runners, Stalkers, and Clickers – along with The Hunters, a band of hostile humans, they will need to navigate the Pittsburgh Quarantine Zone, including iconic locations from the video game such as the creepy and desolate The Hotel Grand and a labyrinth of dark and dank tunnels, in a desperate attempt to escape and survive.
“The Last of Us” was recently made into a popular television series which has only heightened the popularity of the game. This is likely to be one of the most popular haunted houses at Universal this year.
The Exorcist: Believer
This haunted house is inspired by Universal Pictures’ new horror film from Blumhouse and Morgan Creek Entertainment called The Exorcist: Believer. This new film hits theaters on October 13th.
In this new chapter, guests will be transported to a street market in Haiti where an innocent purchase of a strange folk doll with three eyes leads to the opening of a demonic portal that awakens sinister spirits and leads to the disappearances of two 12-year-old girls in the U.S. The girls are found three days later with no memory and began exhibiting unsettling behavior until it becomes clear that only an exorcism can save them.
Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count
This house is inspired by the USA & SYFY series and classic films. Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count is the star of his own haunted house for the first time. Chucky has been “mired in the agony of disrespect he feels from his peers” for not being taken seriously. This sadistic killer begins his quest to turn his haunted house into a living slaughterhouse by killing everyone who enters.
Universal Monsters: Unmasked
Each year usually features a haunted house that focuses on the classic Universal monsters. In this year's new haunted house “Universal Monsters: Unmasked” guests will visit infamous burial grounds filled with skeletal remains and sinister monsters. Within the Catacombs, guests will encounter Universal's most famous creatures like The Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll and his deranged alternate personality Mr. Hyde, and Dr. Jack Griffin, aka The Invisible Man. These monsters lie in wait as they bide their time to seek vengeance against guests for opening the Catacombs becoming more enraged as guests navigate the twisted tunnels of the underground labyrinth.
The remaining five houses this year include:
- A demented, late-night circus led by an evil ringmaster and notorious icon looking for human souls to fuel his dark intentions in “Dr. Oddfellow: Twisted Origins”
