Before you even get into the security/ticketing area you are greeted with some details of the awesome artifacts that you will see inside Universal Horror Unleashed. Including one that will be very familiar to visitors of Universal Studios Hollywood.

Welcome inside Universal Horror Unleashed!

Rough Cuts, an eatery themed to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In fact, each area outside the 4 houses is themed to that house.

For fans of The Mummy (1999) and the Universal Studios Hollywood Special Effects Show.

Anybody recognize this? It's a piece of film history!

We also grabbed a snack in the Premiere House. Both were great!

Let's check out the houses! Our first one was Texas Chainsaw Massacre! I'll admit, we did these in order from our least to most anticipated. But we absolutely loved them all.

I think the word "wow" was the first thing I said when I exited this house. I am not a fan of TX Chainsaw Massacre, it's my least favorite horror franchise by far. And we've seen a LOT of TX Chainsaw Massacre at HHN Hollywood. But this was truly fantastic from start to finish. The slow pace you are allowed to go through the house makes all the difference.

Next up was The Exorcist Believer. Again, not a huge fan of the film itself, but as a house at Horror Unleashed it very much works. It starts off very similar to the HHN House in Hollywood a couple of years ago, but that's kind of where the similarities end. This house features an incredible show stop scene that kind of blew us away.

This house features the same name as the Scarecrow maze at HHN Hollywood and Orlando, but that's where the similarities end. This was the only maze that actually had "boo boxes", but there are also some fake out moments here that will probably get you. The final room of this house is absolutely epic with some incredible effects. We absolutely loved it.

Finally, we come to Universal Monsters which was our most anticipated house. We've loved every one of the Universal Monster houses in both Hollywood and Orlando, and were a bit sad we didn't have the Monsters back this year. But this was worth waiting for. The transitions between each film were great, and it was fun to see them all featured. The show scene with Dr. Frankenstein and The Monster was super fun. And the final room in Black and White was (chefs kiss). I'd love to see a full black and white monster maze at HHN sometime.

Check out all of the amazing busts in the queue below.

If you've followed our site for awhile you'll know that we aren't huge show people, but Jack's Maniacal Menagerie was just a ton of fun.
