New Holiday Horrors Unleashed
Upon entering Universal Horror Unleashed, guests will hear eerie holiday music, see haunting decorations and familiar characters revealing their holiday alter egos. We got the details from UHU in Las Vegas:

- At Kill Vault Video, guests can browse holiday horror films before uncovering the disturbing secret concealed behind the video wall.
- Meanwhile, Home for the Horrordays transforms Prop Graveyard into a twisted family gathering, where the Twin Sister and Twin Brother host their most disturbed friends for a gruesome Christmas celebration.
- In Yuletide Legends near Krampus Haus, guests can come face-to-face with Krampus and explore oversized storybooks bringing sinister winter folklore to life. Returning creatures Grýla and Kallikantzaroi are joined by Mari Lwyd, Hans Trapp and Frau Perchta.
What’s a party without Jack the Clown and his wacky Maniacs? The gang’s bringing their show to folks with a sinister holiday twist. The clown performances are filled with stunts and dark comedy, along with spooky acts.
