Ahead of officially opening to the public on August 14, Universal Horror Unleashed has unveiled a better look at Scarecrow: The Reaping, one of four nightmare-inducing haunted houses that make up the Las Vegas-based year-round, immersive horror experience.
A highly rated, fan favorite house in Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood, Scarecrow: The Reaping transports guests back in time to the 1930s, where they'll be haunted by horrifying scarecrows come to life:
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.
The other four haunts found at Universal Horror Unleashed, located at AREA15 in downtown Las Vegas, are based on the Universal Monsters, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Exorcist: Believer.
The immersive 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.
Next door to Scarecrow: The Reaping, attendees can calm their nerves at Jack’s Alley Bar, 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 can enjoy enjoy themed specialty cocktails, acrobatic performances and more, as well as face Jack’s evil maniacs and a group of malicious jugglers, dancers and fortune tellers as terrifying chaos ensues during interactive show moments.
