Ready or not, spooky season is slowly stalking its way ever closer. The clearest sign? Universal Studios has already announced the first haunted house set inhabit its Hollywood-adjacent theme park for Halloween Horror Nights—and it’s a pretty big one.
The Last of Us will be getting its own haunted house at Universal Studios Hollywood this year (as well as the theme park’s Orlando location). Specifically, the attraction will take inspiration from the original post-apocalyptic PlayStation video game, not the HBO series. An announcement video teases the unmistakable sound of clickers, the fungus-infected zombie-like foes from the franchise; you’ll encounter them as well as all other sorts of the infected, including runners and stalkers, plus human hunters. The experience parallels Joel and Ellie’s trek through the Pittsburgh Quarantine Zone, with locations like the Hotel Grand and a series of dark tunnels.
Elsewhere at HHN, you can expect seven more haunted houses to be announced as we approach the season. We don’t know what they’ll be themed to quite yet, but last year’s included haunted houses inspired by the classic Universal Monsters, Halloween and a few Blumhouse films, as well as an Us-meets-Nope “Terror Tram” takeover of the studio tour.
Halloween Horror Nights will run on select evenings from September 7 to October 31. Tickets cost $74 to $107, depending on the night; with Express Pass add-ons, options range from $209 to $309.
