Halloween Picks for Las Vegas 2025
Universal Horror Unleashed (Las Vegas, Area15)
Brace yourselves, dear parents — Universal has unleashed a permanent horror playground right here in Vegas. Opened as of 2025, Universal Horror Unleashed is a year-round, walk-through haunted attraction occupying about 110,000 ft² at Area15. Inside “Warehouse 25,” you can wander through four terrifying haunted houses inspired by Universal Monsters, The Exorcist: Believer, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Scarecrow: The Reaping.
Between houses, themed immersive areas like “Dead Storage” and “The Boiler” bar offer eerie interludes and twisted ambiance. We LOVED the entertainment, dances and acts in between…..and yes — the monsters may greet you there too!
Suggested age range for Universal Horror Unleashed: teenagers and adults (ages ~13+) —in our opinion, this is not a gentle ghost tour. The intensity, dark themes, jump scares, gore, and horror IPs are better suited for older kiddos.
Location: Area15
Prices vary by date
