Universal Horror Unleashed revealed the next 2 years of events for Las Vegas

On the last day of Monsterpalooza in Pasadena, California, the Horror Unleashed team hosted the final panel of the weekend and gave us an insight into what is coming for the next 2 years.

The panel guests were Del Wynegar, assistant director of Entertainment, Michael Naumann, assistant director of technical and operations, and Kim Scott, senior director and general manager for Universal Destinations & Experiences.

The calendar showed us a lot of different themed options throughout the years, and we’re going to break them down for you. First thing that is going to be new is the ‘Fraidy Cat’ ticket option that will combine local ticket deals, where for $30 you can enjoy the venue and have food and drinks, watch the shows, but skip the haunted houses entirely.

Last time we spoke about Horror Unleashed was for Feaster Grieivings, where they turned the venue into an easter egg hunt, and on the panel, they spoke about how fans love a good scavenger hunt, and it kept bringing people back to find ALL the eggs.

The calendar for the rest of 2026 is:

  • June through August (nightly): A new summer event based on a major movie or TV IP. No details have been revealed yet, but they said to keep an eye on their socials.

  • June through August (Premiere House): A new dinner show starring Jack the Clown and Chance staged “in the round.”

  • September (Premiere House): A new edition of Food, Film, Frights, the four-course prix fixe dinner and secret-movie series, with a new character.

  • September through October (nightly): The return of HamiKuma, the “scary-cute” zombie-bear mascot from Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights, with an all-new stage show.

  • October: Two brand-new original icons debuting at the venue.

  • October through November (Premiere House): A new Premiere House experience.

  • November through January (flex space): The return of Krampus & Kin, this time in the venue’s flex space, a 7,000-square-foot room the size of one of the haunted houses.

2027’s calendar has a lot more to sink our teeth into:

  • January (Premiere House): Food, Film, Frights returns.

  • February (nightly): A new, month-long Valentine’s Day experience.

  • March: A new Jack the Clown stage show.

  • March through May (nightly): Feaster Grievings 2, a sequel to the 2026 spring event that introduced the original character Feaster Bunny.

  • May (nightly): A new anime horror experience.

  • June (Premiere House): Food, Film, Frights again.

  • June through August (flex space): A new outdoor experience, built around a major IP.

  • August: An all-new haunted house, the venue’s first new house since it opened.

  • November through January (flex space): Krampus & Kin returns on a larger scale, in what the team said would be its final run.
