Universal unleashed a bit more horror today, with its latest reveal for its upcoming Las Vegas attraction.
Universal Horror Unleashed opens August 14 at the expanded Area15 complex in Las Vegas. The year-round Halloween Horror Nights-type experience will feature four haunted houses. Today, Universal dropped more details and a teaser video for one of them, Blumhouse's The Exorcist: Believer.
Based on the 2023 movie, Universal's haunted house will recreated the film's story of two best friends who are lost in the woods - and remain lost even after they are physically found.
In addition to the haunted house, Universal Horror Unleashed also will include Prop Graveyard, one of four "immersive areas" in the attraction. Get ready to get scared by dolls, mannequins and all other sorts of horror film props. The Blumhouse theme also covers the food and beverage location Premiere House, which will be a tapas bar with props and decor from recent Blumhouse films.
Earlier, Universal shared details about its Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Scarecrow: The Reaping houses at Universal Horror Unleashed. The fourth haunted house in the attraction will be Universal Monsters.
Ticket prices vary by date and run from $69-99 for a pass that includes one entry to each of the experience's four haunted houses. An unlimited access pass to the houses ranges from $99-149 a day.

I tend to agree DangerGoat. I see the appeal of both the Exorcist IP and the Blumhouse IP, but to use this specific crossover for a semi-permanent attraction seems silly. I mean, they could have used a dozen other Blumhouse movies or any of the other Exorcist movies, even The Pope's Exorcist, which underperformed, but was a solid movie. Unless Universal is planning or regularly rotating IPs here, I just don't think this maze will get as much traction as the others in the complex.

I understand the other maze choices, but Exorcist sticks out like a sore thumb. The movie was a flop, and the maze (at least the Hollywood version) was underwhelming. They could have gone with something better, like one of the more creative Orlando originals. Why??
