Now, it looks like "Five Nights at Freddy's" won't be the only wildly popular video game franchise making its way to the iconic Halloween event.

In a new announcement, it has been revealed that "Fallout" will officially have a house at Halloween Horror Nights.
"There's no sheltering from this horror," the social media announcement read. "See if you can survive the nuclear apocalypse as you're immersed in 'Fallout.'"
Much like the house based on "The Last of Us" in 2023 was based on the HBO Max series, it seems that the "Fallout" house will be based on the Amazon Prime adaptation starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten.

Even though it is recognized more as science fiction than horror, there are plenty of terrifying moments and themes that the team at Universal Studios can pull from.
First of all, the series is filled with gory moments that will give ample opportunity for designers to go wild with special effects.
Then there are all the various factions and mutated people that can pop in to terrify guests, like the Brotherhood of Steel, the inhabitants of Vault 4, and raiders.

Finally, there are all the monsters from the show that are sure to terrify guests, including Radroaches, Gulpers, and Ghouls.
Of particular note is the Yao Guai, which is a black bear that has been mutated by radiation. Halloween Horror Nights has shown off epic animatronics in the past, and this could be another opportunity to do so.
Needless to say, there is plenty of material to pull from just in the series. However, if the people at Halloween Horror Nights wanted to pull from the games, I'm sure casual and hardcore fans would be perfectly fine with that, especially looking at The Family from "Fallout 3."

The "Fallout" series was a massive success, receiving critical acclaim, audience praise, and plenty of award nominations, particularly for Goggins as The Ghoul and Purnell as Lucy.
Season 2 of the hit series is set to premiere in December 2025 on Amazon Prime.

You've Got A Nice Home, But Here Are 34 Practical Things You May Want To Add
Itty-bitty, collapsible storage crates in soothing pastel colors to give your knickknacks the vinyl record treatment. Listen, you don't have to throw away your mountain of pilfered condiment packets, but they'd look a lot nicer in one of these. A battery-operated patio umbrella light so your family can actually see each other while dining outside. The battery-powered device has 28 LEDs to properly illuminate a whole picnic table after the sun sets. A chenille tufted pillow perfect for when you're trying to enjoy some pillow fort time or just wanna sit on the floor while working from the coffee table (me). It'll come in handy when you have more guests than chairs for movie night. A set of low-maintenance, solar-powered lights you can stake along pathways to illuminate your walk to the house. Since they're powered by the sun, you can set them up and let them do their thing for the foreseeable future. Promising review: "These are great lights, we use them in our front and backyard. They are long-lasting and create a resort-like appearance." —Michele Get it from Amazon for $32.93+ (available in packs of four or eight). A pack of disposable shower hair catchers for people who often forget to clean the drain after a shower and too squeamish to maintain a device like the TubShroom. You can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested. A grater with a built-in container so you don't have to worry about having to balance it over a plate or cleaning up stray shavings. It comes with three grating surfaces you can swap out to meet all your grating needs. Taco night, anyone? A set of waterproof globe lights to instantly improve the ambiance of your backyard. I don't know how string lights do it, but they have a 100% success rate of making me happy. A set of wildly popular "hotel" pillows so you can feel like you're falling asleep at the Ritz. Reviewers rave that these are the perfect balance of fluffy and firm, meaning you can prop yourself up for a good in-bed TV binge. And a set of massively popular double-brushed microfiber sheets that are so soft and cuddly, reviewers have likened them to high-end hotel bedding. You'll forget aaaalll about thread count when you slide into these sheets. A Capri Blue Volcano-scented multipurpose cleaner — yes, that's right, the signature Anthropologie scent — to make cleaning feel extra rewarding. Now you can clean and leave behind a luxurious scent that'll have guests looking at your home in a new light. Was it always so chic in here? A grassy drying rack for parents who have a ton of bottles to clean and don't want their carefully balanced mountain of dishes to come crashing down. The grass keeps bottles, tops, and other small items upright without you needing to constantly rearrange or navigate weirdly placed dividers. It's also just cute! Look at the little nipple tree. A beloved O-Cedar mop and bucket set that'll make mopping way faster and easier, thanks to the hands-free wringing system. The mop head's unique triangular shape allows it to get into corners, making it a favorite amongst neat freaks and professional cleaners. A bright and cheery fruit bowl with a secret — there's a hidden colander! The sneaky bowl lets you rinse your fruit and then display it on the counter while it dries. A set of extra mini drawers that clip onto your shelves so you can easily grab what you need instead of having to remove half the contents of your fridge just to get to the mayo. Promising review: "I bought a new refrigerator, and I missed my deli drawer. I purchased this as a way to store deli cold meat. I'm so glad I bought it" —wendyGet one from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two size packs). A flat mop with a wringing bucket offering a space-saving option for small living spaces where storage is more valuable than gold. The compact bucket has a handle and inner scraper to remove dirt from the washable microfiber mop pads, making it a hit with over 22,000 5-star reviewers. A rotating spice rack that not only provides you with all the spices you need to start your culinary journey, but also comes with FIVE YEARS of free spice refills; that means you can sprinkle your sea salt with reckless abandon. The next time you want to make a mushroom gravy, you'll have Herbes de Provence right there! And chicken is going to taste so much better with a dash of rosemary. This tower comes with 20 jars of spices. I personally have this rack and can confirm it's legit. The construction is obviously a little flimsy, but it spins nicely and doesn't wobble. All the spices are fresh and quite nice!Promising review: "I LOVE THIS! It looks great on my counter, and all the new choices I have to cook with are just exciting!! Plus, the five years of refills is just icing on top." —ImaniGet a rack with 20 spices from Amazon for $36.92. A mattress vacuum complete with a UV light to kill lingering bacteria and a HEPA filter to trap particles as small as 0.1 microns! Dust and mites won't stand a chance! Bedtime will be so nice, you'll be happy you don't have to call and ask for an early checkout. A set of Shoe Slotz that lets you stack shoes on top of each other, meaning you can DOUBLE your storage space. In the words of Kelly, let's get some shoes. A set of Command spray bottle hangers to stick to the inside of a cabinet door for easy storage, so you can grab the multi-cleaner *the second* you hear food hit the floor. A silverware sorter that takes up very little space in your drawer but can fit up to 24 pieces of cutlery. With the extra space, the possibilities are endless. Maybe it's time for a novelty monstera slotted spoon? Plastic sliding storage bins reviewers have been using to bring order to any room you can think of, from bedroom closets to home offices. Thanks to their waterproof material, they can even go in your bathroom or garage. A crack weeder tool if your home looks like it's trying out to star in the next season of The Last of Us. The L-shaped head can sneak into tight spaces and tear out the weeds, moss, and stubborn roots that have rudely taken up residence in your sidewalk. A jalapeño corer so you can get rid of unwanted seeds in seconds and minimize the risk of you slicing your hand open. Best to get this step done ASAP so you can enjoy some jalapeño poppers in record time. Promising review: "Not sure why I didn't know about this nifty gadget before! I'm obsessed!! I make jalapeño poppers AT LEAST once a week, and it has always been a little time-consuming! This gadget has cut my prep time by more than half!!! Such great quality and love that it's dishwasher safe! You don't have to work hard to get stems and seeds out. Only takes about 10-15 seconds per pepper, and it's completely cleaned out! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $7.99. Clear, hardshell pouches perfect for cosmetics, toys, and craft supplies. You can stack them or throw 'em in a bag for easy traveling. They're basically go-bags, but for colored pencils and makeup. A Tibet Almond scratch remover stick that you can apply like ChapStick for your furniture. The colorless balm can help hide light scratches, watermarks, and water stains from wood, bamboo, glass, and more. Just open the can, remove the wrapper, and start rubbing the stick on unsightly marks. White caulk tape if you've noticed (and proceeded to ignore) some cracks in your previous caulk job. Use the waterproof sealing tape to fill in gaps before they get any worse and unwanted guests see the bug equivalent of a vacancy sign. Reviewers say this is easier and cleaner looking than liquid caulk, so there's no excuse to keep putting this off! An oil-stain remover doing the impossible — removing grease spots and refreshing your walkway, driveway, and more. You may have thought you had to live with The Stain until you moved, but no! A magic cleaning potion is here to banish that foe! Apply the formula, let it dry, then brush it away to reveal a stain-free surface. A bamboo shelf with a tilt-out hamper because I know you're sick of having your dirty unmentionables just out in the open like that. This turns what would normally have been an eyesore into a nice storage solution. Display decorative candles, not dirty socks! An expandable, cabinet-lining, two-tier shelf that will make every bottle you own visible and easily accessible. You'll never have to settle for paprika when you wanted smoked paprika ever again. Reed fencing offering a little privacy when you don't have the space or money to plant trees or bamboo. It'll obscure the view of your patio, balcony, or yard while still letting in some light so you don't make the space feel walled in. Promising review: "I am very happy with this reed fencing. The lovely brown color and tight weave with the string is so much better than ones I've had in the past that were woven with wire that look shabby and horrible. These are a wonderful quality for the price, to make putting up large sections of fencing more affordable. They are not completely private, as people have mentioned, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to see through a little bit, but they work great to give some sense of separation and privacy." —Lauren it from Amazon for $56.09+ (available in seven sizes and two colors). A rapid egg cooker so you can stop settling for overcooked hardboiled eggs with gross gray yolks. You deserve better. Along with hardboiled eggs, this thing can make omelets and poached and scrambled eggs, all without close supervision. An outdoor Wi-Fi extender you can place in a weatherproof enclosure (like a screened-in patio) to extend your network range to your porch or backyard. The applications are endless, from outdoor movie nights to actually getting your teenager outside for some fresh air. A pair of fan light pull cords so you can finally know which turns on the fan and which turns on the light. What an ~illuminating~ product! A wooden privacy screen with built-in planters at the bottom to help distract from whatever you're trying to hide, whether it be lawn equipment, an AC unit, garbage cans, or a giant skeleton lawn ornament waiting for its time to shine this fall. Promising review: "We have a small patio close to a grassy area where the neighborhood dogs do their business — so annoying and smelly — so we needed a way to get lots of florals in while also providing some privacy. These are perfect and hold lots of florals; the ivy I have is already beginning to climb the trellis, and they're sturdy!! We live in a windy area, and so far, they haven't budged. Also so, so easy to put together!! Took us less than a half hour probably." —JessicaGet it from Amazon for $76.49+ (available in three sizes; clip the 10% off coupon when applicable).

Mom Finds 'Dream' 5-Bedroom House for Sale, but There's Just One Catch
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A family has found their forever home in the form of a former funeral home, with its embalming room and casket showroom still intact. Ashley Berken, 39, lives in Wisconsin with her wife, Beth, and their four children, and were on the hunt for a house big enough for their family as well as two home offices. Berken, an executive director, says they toured several houses and didn't find the perfect fit—until they came across a "beautiful 4,500-square-foot Victorian," which was right at the top of their budget for $300,000. "There are five bedrooms, but the master suite is kind of like two rooms. I call it my mom sanctuary," Berken told Newsweek. Ashley Berken shows off the former embalming room of her new home. Ashley Berken shows off the former embalming room of her new home. TikTok @thefuneralhomehouse There was a twist, however—this home had previously been used as a funeral home, which they didn't realize until they "noticed the ramps in the garage for body transport." "That night, I searched through local historical pages and confirmed that it was indeed a former funeral home," Berken told Newsweek—and described it as "my absolute dream come true!" As a young girl, Berken had loved the classic coming-of-age movie My Girl, which revolved around a girl whose home doubles as a funeral home as her father works as a funeral director. As she put it: "There's something deeply special to me about a place that holds so much history and love, where for decades, people gathered to share memories of loved ones. It feels like this house has a heart and a story of its own." Read more Mom lived in house "for years'—Discovers what was in kitchen the whole time Mom lived in house "for years'—Discovers what was in kitchen the whole time Having previously lived in a "small, 1,000-square-foot home," Berken admits she doesn't believe they could have afforded this house on this street if it hadn't previously been a funeral home, "as some people are a bit wary of the idea." "But for us, it's been a dream—our kids, pets—two wiener dogs and three cats— and plants are thriving in this home." Funeral homes provide facilities for the funeral or memorial service, as well as organizing cremation and burial arrangements and embalming, dressing and casketing the deceased, according to Earth Funeral. And while living in a former funeral home might not be everyone's cup of tea, Berken has gained a large online following as she shows off the new property and the work they're doing to it, from roof repairs to plumbing. In one video to her TikTok account, @thefuneralhomehouse, on May 16, Berken showed off the embalming room and casket showroom with a ramp leading to their kitchen. "This is where the bodies were wheeled from the garage," she explained, before heading into the former embalming room, which still contains the original sink which would have been used to drain body fluids into the plumbing system. While she's not entirely sure what she will do with the sink, or the room itself, she pointed out the "great light" the room gets, and suggested it would be great to grow and repot plants in the winter. The next room she showed was the former casket showroom, which she plans to turn into a "hangout space" for the kids, particularly as they get older. Berken's video was viewed more than 640,000 times, with people from all walks of life commenting on the clip to give their two cents.

TikTok @thefuneralhomehouse One, who identified themselves as a funeral director, said: "Most old prep rooms give me the creeps but this one seems like such a safe space. I cannot wait to see the future decor! You're bringing life back into the home." "Embalmer here and I think the greenhouse idea is awesome! Definitely keep the sink," another said, while one wrote: "I'm a paranormal lead investigator and would recommend a proper spiritual cleansing with white sage and prayer to move on possible spirits that have not crossed over before attempting refurbishing." Others weren't as enthusiastic, one writing: "Respectfully... immediately no," and another declaring: "This feels like the beginning of a good horror movie." And as one put it: "Does this come with free invisible friends who only appear at night?" But Berken told Newsweek: "While I don't associate spirits with hauntings or jump scares, if there is any presence here, it's all positive energy and love. "Though, I will admit, we've had a few large items mysteriously disappear!" Her quickly-growing audience has helped her learn some of the history of the house, with Berken revealing she had connected with a woman who had grown up in the house when her father ran the funeral home. "She shared childhood stories of playing in the casket showroom and her memories of the house, which has made me love it even more."
