The critcally acclaimed series based on popular video game “The Last Of Us” will also make an appearance for the 2023 season:

“The Last of Us” haunted houses on both coasts will propel guests into a world of carnage and mayhem as they follow in the footsteps of the game’s protagonists, Joel and Ellie, who endure a brutal journey in a world overtaken by a fungal virus that turns humans into various forms of a new threat known as the Infected. As guests encounter the Infected – Runners, Stalkers and Clickers – along with The Hunters, a band of hostile humans, they will need to navigate the Pittsburgh Quarantine Zone, including iconic locations from the video game such as the creepy and desolate The Hotel Grand and a labyrinth of dark and dank tunnels, in a desperate attempt to escape and survive.

“Stranger Things” will make its return once again, inviting fans to enter the UpsideDown. With a brand-new haunted house, guests will encounter the Season 4 supernatural villain, Vecna, alongside Eleven, Max, Eddie, and more. The new maze will include iconic scenes from the show such as the Creel house and Mind Lair.

Recently, Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood have announced even more haunted houses, including “The Exorcist: Believer,” and “Universal Monsters: Unmasked.” Based on the upcoming film, “The Exorcist: Believer” guests will be transported to a busy street market in Haiti, where an innocent purchase of a strange doll with three eyes leads to the opening of a demonic portal. The maze will then follow the events that haunts two 12-year-old girls who disappeared in the woods. Once home, the girls begin to exhibit strange behaviors and it becomes clear that the only thing that can help them is through the ritual of exorcism.

  • Dr. Oddfellow: Twisted Origins
