The Last of Us is getting the haunted house treatment, as Universal Studios announced on Thursday they will add the franchise to its Halloween Horror Nights event.

When does The Last of Us haunted house begin?

The Last of Us haunted house will arrive at Halloween Horror Nights beginning on Friday, September 7, 2023 at Universal Orlando Resort. It will also appear at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The haunted house allows attendees to follow in the footsteps of Joel and Ellie. They’ll encounter a variety of different enemies, including Runners, Stalkers, Clickers, and The Hunters, a band of hostile humans.

The haunted house will include a variety of iconic locations from the video game, including The Hotel Grand, the Pittsburgh Quarantine Zone, and “a labyrinth of dark and dank tunnels,” according to Universal’s announcement.

“As a massive fan – and frequent attendee – of Halloween Horror Nights, we are honored to have ‘The Last of Us’ included in this year’s lineup. It has been an incredible thrill for us at Naughty Dog to collaborate with Universal, bringing the world of the game to life, focusing on even the tiniest details that our fans know so well,” Naughty Dog Co-President Neil Druckmann said. “Having just celebrated the 10th anniversary of ‘The Last of Us,’ it’s a perfect time for our fans to team up with Joel and Ellie and come face-to-terrifying-face with Clickers, Raiders and much more!”

Tickets for the haunted house are now on sale for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights — along with a variety of vacation packages.
