Inside Universal's year-round haunted house opening soon in Las Vegas
Universal Horror Unleashed is set to open in Las Vegas on August 14, followed by a second location in Chicago in 2027. Walking through Universal Horror Unleashed's scarecrow-themed haunted house should have been a piece of cake. After all, I was raised in Iowa – I'm no stranger to corn fields. But, while walking through the haunted house's dark maze, pushing past the stalks of corn blocking my path, I could just barely make out the shape of something lurking around the corner, ready to leap from the shadows. I debated turning around. Then, I heard a scream and decided rejoining the monsters lurking in the dark farmhouse behind me wasn't a better alternative. As soon as I took a step forward, a scarecrow lurched at me and made me jump, his clawed hand and ghastly mask illuminated by the flashing lights overhead. "Scarecrow: The Reaping' is just one of four haunted houses available at Universal Horror Unleashed, a new experience located at the Area15 entertainment district just off the Las Vegas Strip. While the space won't open to the public until August 14, USA TODAY was able to take a sneak peek at the event space in early August. Here's what horror fans can expect. One attraction, four haunted houses There are four haunted house options scattered across the attraction, which is made to resemble an abandoned production warehouse: Universal added special touches to fully immerse its guests in each scene. The restaurant inside the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' haunted house smells like barbecue, while the woods inside "Blumhouse's The Exorcist: Believer" smell like a real forest. In 'Scarecrow: The Reaping," guests push their way through a corn field and get blasted by wind from a dust storm, while ropes hanging from the Hunchback's bell tower block guests' path inside "Universal Monsters." There are even water effects in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" house, meant to mimic splattering blood during a particularly gruesome reenactment. 'We realize that we can't reach out and actually grab the guests,' said show director Nate Stevenson. 'But we need to reach out and touch the guests in every other sense that we possibly can.' More than just haunted houses The horror isn't over once you escape the haunted houses. Guests can also explore four immersive areas staged between the houses with their own themes, like '80s slasher flicks and classic Universal monsters. Here, original characters like a menacing set of twins and a bug monster are available to chat with guests or give them a fright. 'Our guests can approach these characters, and they'll actually tell you about their story and who they are and they'll interact with you,' Stevenson said, as a vampire queen and mad doctor lingered nearby, adding that it's 'very much immersive theater.' (I made the mistake of asking Stevenson a question about the characters in front of one and got called out for it. 'I'm right here!' said one of the spooky twins, looking like she was ready to tear my head off.) Jack's Alley Bar, another themed area in the warehouse, features a 15-minute show starring Jack the Clown and his sidekick, Chance. Two 'victims' are brought to a stage to perform in Jack's game show, 'Stay or Slay.' (Spoiler: the contestants' dancing and hula-hoop performances were impressive, but did little to win the killer clowns' sympathy.) And in the middle of it all sits The Boiler bar, an enormous machine where guests can take a break to drink craft cocktails. 'The Boiler bar definitely has a spirit of its own, so bear with us. Sometimes he gets a little upset,' said Kim Scott, general manager of Universal Horror Unleashed, as the machine let off steam with a roar in the background. Universal's Las Vegas horror experience: What to expect. Dining options at Universal Horror Unleashed Universal Horror Unleashed offers several dining options to guests who have worked up an appetite from any horror-induced adrenaline rush. Fast-casual stops like Rough Cuts offer themed dishes like Parts of Pieces, a spicy sausage sandwich. There's also a sit-down tapas bar, Premiere House, decorated with movie props and decor representing more recent horror films from Blumhouse. At the latter, guests can dine on small plates inspired by the surrounding houses – including a Texas Chainsaw Flatbread shaped like a saw blade and 'Scarecrow: The Reaping'-inspired dessert called The Haybale, a pecan kataifi roll served on a shovel. Drink options include the Green Dread – a bright green gin concoction served from a beaker – and the Bloodsucker, a rum and blackberry liqueur drink served with a dollop of dark red jello meant to look like a glob of blood. TJ Mannarino, vice president of entertainment, art and design, said attractions would have turned up their noses at the idea of adding grotesque themes to food in the not-too-distant past. But as guests increasingly look for more immersive offerings, he said that's no longer the case. 'Now, people love that,' he said. 'That's another step in this new world.' Horror is no longer just for fall The day I visited was a 100-plus-degree day in the middle of a Las Vegas summer. Not exactly the backdrop that comes to mind when you think of the typical fall spooky season. But that's the point: The team behind Universal Horror Unleashed says horror fans don't disappear once the clock strikes midnight on October 31. Mannarino said that's why Universal's Horror Nights pushed back its opening date from mid-October to late August, and why horror movies and horror-adjacent shows like 'Stranger Things' have success with spring or summer releases. 'Horror has a place year-round now,' Stevenson said. 'People love this group experience. ... There's a lot of real horror in the world, and this offers an escape. It's a way to laugh at horror.' Tickets start at $69 for one-time entry to each house and $99 for unlimited access to houses, with a discount offered to Nevada residents. A second location in Chicago is set to open in 2027.

Netflix just got one of the best HBO shows you (probably) skipped — and you've got 2 seasons to binge-watch now
On the surface, there's pretty much nothing about 'Love Life' that sets it apart from the rest of the romantic comedy-drama pack. It's a fizzy HBO Max show that follows a protagonist (Anna Kendrick in season 1, William Jackson Harper in season 2) from their first proper romantic relationship, until their final, the one that lasts forever. So, it's a show about the trials and tribulations of modern dating. Hardly groundbreaking stuff. And yet, it's elevated beyond its basic premise by sheer charm. The show premiered in 2020, season 2 dropped a year later, and 12 months after that, it wasn't just unceremoniously canceled, but also outright removed from HBO Max's library. Since then, "Love Life" has bounced around lower-profile platforms like Plex, but now, it's found itself a new streaming partner in Netflix, as both seasons arrive on the service today (August 5). This is particularly good news for viewers in need of a mood-boosting show, but also one with plenty of relatability. Anybody who was, or still is, unlucky in love will deeply resonate with the 20-episode anthology series, as several scenes may mirror your own personal experiences. Want to know more about 'Love Life' before you put on a ring on it and add it to your Netflix watchlist? Here's the full scoop on this easy-watching series, and why it ranks as one of my favourite romantic-comedy shows of the past decade. The basic premise of 'Love Life' is pretty straightforward: Each season follows a different main character, and covers their entire dating life, from awkward one-night stands to initially perfect relationships that fall apart after the honeymoon phase comes to a swift end. It's all in an effort to explore how each relationship changes a person, and how the scars (and a few fond memories) shape them into the person they need to be to meet 'the one.' By the end of the season, the lead character has developed and settled into themselves. The first season of 'Love Life' follows Darby Carter (Anna Kendrick), a millennial New Yorker, who attempts to find herself in the Big Apple while also juggling several relationships, from saying goodbye to 'the one that got away' to some very questionable dating decisions. Meanwhile, season 2 subs in Marcus Watkins (William Jackson Harper), as we follow him from being stuck in a rocky marriage to becoming smitten with Mia (Jessica Williams), and also making a few questionable calls. 'Love Life's' biggest strength is simply that it's an extremely polished product. What it lacks in originality, it makes up for in emotionally smart writing, strong performances (particularly from Kendrick and Jackson Harper), and a slick style that fits its focus on modern dating. I particularly enjoyed the insight into Darby's childhood in season 1. One of the later episodes is dedicated to an extended flashback, and it's interesting (and perhaps a little too relatable) how Darby's childhood traumas have influenced the flawed adults she's become. Flip to season 2, and the show focuses more on a will-they-won't relationship between Marcus and Mia. This gives the season a stronger through line than found in its freshman outing, and it helps that Mia is never villainized. If anything, Marcus is portrayed as the unreasonable one when he accuses her of stringing him along and not committing to him. If you're looking for a comfort show, 'Love Life' definitely fits the bill. It's not all sunny, and it's not afraid to look at the difficult (and uncomfortable) parts of trying to find a soulmate, but its tone is light enough that you can turn to it when you need something warm and cozy. 'Love Life' was generally well received by critics, but there's a clear preference for season 2. On Rotten Tomatoes, Season 1 holds a respectable 63% score, but season 2 jumps up to an impressive 95%. Curiously, the viewers' score flips this ranking. On RT's viewers' score scale, season 1 has 83%, while season 2 has a lower 66%. Perhaps some audience members felt the novelness of the core idea was wearing off by the second installment. Calling a show 'perfectly pleasant' might seem like fairly mild praise, at best, but when it comes to a series like 'Love Life,' that was clearly the aim. This HBO series didn't have grand ambition; instead, it's a romance story framed around likeable and authentic characters. And it completely succeeds at this relatively modest aim. That's a good thing. It's highly unlikely we'll ever get a 'Love Life' season 3. Even if the series becomes a monster hit now that it's arrived on Netflix, I suspect a revival off the table. But even if that's the case, I'm content to settle down with the two seasons we got and rewatch them now that they're on Netflix. 'Love Life' is far from the only new addition to the Netflix library this month. Check out our complete guide to everything new on Netflix in August 2025 for even more viewing options.

5 top new movies to stream this week on Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu and more (Aug. 5-11)
The start of another week means a fresh slate of movies arriving across the best streaming services. And the biggest fish in the pond, Netflix, is sitting the next seven days out, which gives Prime Video, HBO Max and more the chance to take the spotlight. However, the biggest newcomer this week can be found on premium video-on-demand platforms. Jurassic World Rebirth' is set to make the tyrannosaurus-sized leap from cinemas to streaming. And viewers looking for more blockbuster action will also want to check out 'The Pickup' on Prime Video. Plus, the summer of Pedro Pascal continues over on HBO Max. These are the top new movies you can stream this week, and if you're in the mood for a binge-watch, check out our guide to the top new TV shows this week. 'Jurassic World Rebirth' is the best 'Jurassic' movie since the original 'Jurassic World' back in 2015. OK, so when the competition is 'Fallen Kingdom' and 'Dominion,' which are, in my opinion, two of the worst tentpole blockbusters of the last decade, that's faint praise. But still, 'Rebith' represents a step in the right direction for a franchise that has so often struggled to recapture the enduring magic of the original 'Jurassic Park.' Even though I admit, it's fun but flawed. 'Rebirth' sees Scarlett Johansson play Zora Bennett, an ex-military special operative, who leads a team into one of the world's most dangerous places: A tropical island that served as the research facility for the original Jurassic Park. The mission requires them to secure three DNA samples from specific dinosaurs, but of course, the plan goes awry. Also starring Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, it packs plenty of dino-themed fun, but the series' insistence on creating new mutated creatures does feel ill-judged. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Buy or rent on Amazon from August 5 Prime Video is following up its summer streaming hit, 'Heads of State,' with another high-stakes action comedy in the form of 'The Pickup.' This one looks perfect for viewers craving a big-budget romp, but without having to shell out for a cinema ticket and overpriced theatre snacks. Its cast list is also nothing to sneeze at, with Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer and Eva Longoria headlining. I doubt it'll be a critical darling, but its future as a Prime Video No. 1 looks pretty secure. 'The Pickup' centers on two armored truck drivers (Murphy and Davidson) who face the shift from hell when criminals, led by a savvy mastermind (Palmer), ambush them and attempt to steal their vehicle's cargo. What follows is an action-packed shift as these mismatched co-workers are roped into a dangerous heist with highly personal stakes. The setup seems predictable, but the trailer promises plenty of explosions and lots of slapstick comedy gags. Watch on Prime Video from August 6 'The Monkey' is one of my biggest disappointments of 2025. It's not because it's bad, but rather considering the pedigree of director Oz Perkins (the man behind last year's 'Longlegs' and the overlooked 'The Blackcoat's Daughter'), I had high hopes for this horror, and ultimately, my expectations weren't quite met. Still, there's a lot of darkly comedic fun to be found in this blood-drenched movie, and now that it's arriving on Hulu, the barrier to entry has dropped considerably. 'The Monkey' offers a series of extremely gory kills, stitched together by an off-kilter story that's a little too goofy. The movie opens with twin brothers finding a strange and very creepy wind-up monkey doll. This odd toy is actually cursed and causes a string of horrific deaths. Fast forward 25 years, and the brothers (both played by Theo James) have become estranged. But when the monkey doll resurfaces, they're forced to reunite to end the curse for good. Watch on Hulu from August 7 Comedy-slashers are back in vogue with 'Heart Eyes' blending horror and humor back in February, and 'Clown in a Cornfield' bringing the same mixture to the summer months. It's certainly no 'Scream,' but it does play with the audience's expectations in some novel ways. However, the final reveal is seriously derivative of Edgar Wright's fantastic cop comedy 'Hot Fuzz,' which lessens its impact. Otherwise, it's a slasher with some grizzly kills and some very irritating characters, ones that make frustrating decisions too often. Based on the novel of the same name by Adam Cesare, it follows high school student Quinn (Katie Douglas) and her father (Aaron Abrams) as they relocate to the small town of Kettle Springs. The quaint town has fallen on hard times in the wake of a factory fire destroying its main industry, and things get even worse when a sinister clown named Frendo starts stalking Quinn and her new pals. Watch on Shudder from August 8 If my social media feeds are any indication, Pedro Pascal fatigue appears to be sweeping the internet. However, if you're not suffering from this strange phenomenon, you'll be pleased to see 'Freaky Tales' is heading to HBO Max this week after a limited theatrical release back in April. This anthology action-comedy is split into four interconnected chapters and focuses on real historical events that took place during 1987 in Oakland, California. These individual stories focus on an eclectic cast of characters from an NBA star to a corrupt cop, a female rap duo to a group of teenage punks. Also featuring Jay Ellis, Normani, Dominique Thorne, Ben Mendelsohn, Angus Cloud and a small role for America's surrogate father, Tom Hanks, 'Freaky Tales' was embraced by critics and audiences alike. It currently holds a particularly strong 89% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Watch on HBO Max from August 8
