Grab your chainsaws and check your nerves at the door—Universal just dropped a bone-chilling update about their new haunted house at Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas, and horror fans, this one’s for you.
Say hello (and probably goodbye) to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre—one of the four haunted houses opening this August 14 at Universal’s first-ever year-round horror experience. And yes, it’s as intense as it sounds. Based on the OG 1974 nightmare fuel of a movie, this house isn’t just inspired by the film—it throws you headfirst into it.
From your first steps in a creepy Texas cemetery to the eerie gas station BBQ (you really don’t want to know what’s cooking), it’s a full-on descent into madness. The house follows the original movie in a linear storyline—so you’re not just watching the terror unfold, you’re living it. You’ll be stalked by Leatherface, get a little too cozy with his deranged family, and be surrounded by the sound of roaring chainsaws and screams echoing through the halls. This isn’t a haunted house—it’s survival horror.
And the terror doesn’t stop there.
Once you (hopefully) escape the Sawyer family, you’ll stumble into the Kill Vault—one of the four immersive themed areas in Universal Horror Unleashed. Picture a twisted warehouse of horrors where psychotic slashers and mad surgeons roam freely. This space goes beyond jump scares—actors interact with you, share their chilling backstories, and invite you to explore their world. Want to eat amid the carnage? Head to Rough Cuts, where you can snack on “chainsaw-carved” small plates (yes, really) while dodging chainsaw maniacs.
It’s all part of Universal’s bold new move to bring haunted house horror to Vegas all year long. No more waiting for Halloween. This is an ongoing nightmare—and we’re here for it.
Universal Horror Unleashed officially opens August 14 at AREA15 in Las Vegas. Alongside The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you’ll also brave Universal Monsters, Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer, and Scarecrow: The Reaping. With terrifying themed areas, shows, food, drinks, and a monster merch shop, it’s a horror fan’s dream… or worst nightmare.
