Can you hear that on the wind? It’s the sound of chainsaws from Las Vegas. Yes, Universal Horror Unleashed is bringing the frights year-round in Sin City starting this August 14th. One of the houses at the complex will be Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The haunted house will bring to life the original film for the first time in a linear sequence, placing guests in the footsteps of the victims as they face horrifying iconic scenes and characters. Their journey starts in a Texan cemetery – the first fateful stop – followed by an encounter with the Old Man at the dusty gas station featured in the chilling barbecue scene. As they enter the infamous dilapidated home, guests will come face-to-face with Leatherface and every member of his deranged family and their victims, as the terrifying sound of chainsaws haunts them at every turn.
That’s not all though, there’s also Kill Vault, one of the four immersive themed 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.
