Scarecrows are out and they’re hungry for revenge in this brand new teaser for the upcoming Universal Horror Unleashed attraction opening at Area 51 in Las Vegas this August.
A fan favourite at Universal theme park during Halloween Horror nights Scarecrow: The Reaping was a roaring success as Florida and Hollywood and is one of the four nightmare-inducing haunted houses that await guests this August as this all-year-round horror attraction is eager to come alive.
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.
Not only does the attraction have mazes for you to enjoy there are also a wide variety of places to eat and entertainment happening in this horror-themed space.
Next door, at Jack’s Alley Bar, guests will enjoy themed speciality cocktails, acrobatic performances and more in a circus-like hellscape where the deranged Jack the Clown and his impishly evil sidekick Chance reign.
Check out the first look at Scarecrow the Reaping coming to Las Vegas below:
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.
I’m looking forward to seeing how this attraction grows over time because four mazes will only be relevant for so long so I’m curious as to how often they’ll change things up and whilst it’s in a heavily attended tourist-centric area I do wonder how they will chop and change things around to keep it fresh.
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.
This 40-acre attraction has tickets now available to purchase and you can buy your very own today (prices vary) HERE.
