‘Scarecrow: The Reaping’ Rises at Universal Horror Unleashed Year-Round Attraction
Sin City is getting even scarier, as the creators of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios theme parks are bringing an entirely new year-round horror experience to Las Vegas in 2025, and today we have new details and a first look inside one of the four haunted houses to be featured at Universal Horror Unleashed, a resurrected HHN original known as Scarecrow: The Reaping. Read on for the official press release.
Could you escape a herd of scarecrows hungry for revenge? A highly rated, fan favorite house in Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood, Scarecrow: The Reaping is one of the four nightmare-inducing haunted houses that await guests at Universal Horror Unleashed – a first-of-its-kind, year-round, immersive horror experience in Las Vegas by the masters of horror at Universal Destinations & Experiences.
Inspired by the historic Dust Bowl era when severe dust storms devastated the Midwest, this original story will take guests back in time to a dry, barren 1930s farmland ravaged by farmers and taken over by horrifying inhabitants arising from the land: bloodthirsty scarecrows bent on revenge. As guests start their journey in the middle of a windstorm before entering an abandoned farmhouse, they’ll encounter the monstrous and gigantic creatures made of remnants of dried human flesh and bones of beasts, merged with burlap, root and vine, with only one mission at hand – obtain vengeance for their ravaged land.
Next door, at Jack’s Alley Bar, guests will enjoy themed specialty cocktails, acrobatic performances and more in a circus-like hellscape where the deranged Jack the Clown and his impishly evil sidekick Chance reign. Set in a twisted dark carnival atmosphere, guests will face Jack’s evil maniacs and a group of malicious jugglers, dancers and fortune tellers as terrifying chaos ensues during interactive show moments. Each immersive area will place guests in the center stage of horror, with many opportunities to interact with characters for a deeply engaging experience.
Universal Horror Unleashed is Universal Destinations & Experiences’ first-ever, year-round horror experience, set to open in Las Vegas on August 14. Guests will be surrounded by horror like never before, encountering unimaginable monstrous creatures lurking around every corner as they brave their way through four themed immersive areas and four terrifying haunted houses. The horror extends to the food and beverage offerings, with themed bars and food locations serving craft cocktails and themed bites in select areas, and a retail location with unique collectible merchandise and more.
Tickets are now sale, and can be purchased here.
Scarecrow: The Reaping joins the previously announced houses featuring classic Universal Monsters, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Exorcist: Believer.
