The project would transform a 114,000 square-foot commercial building at 700 W. Chicago Ave. into a complex for everything from multiple haunted houses and thrill-packed rides to “sinister scare zones” and “scare actors on the prowl.

Universal Horror Unleashed will sit in a vacant building on Chicago Avenue. Slated to open in 2027, the project will receive state tax credits, officials said.

A Universal Horror Unleashed attraction will open in Chicago, the company announced Thursday, although its first foray into year-round horror isn’t scheduled to open in Las Vegas until August. “We’re bringing the full force of horror and thrills to a whole new audience in a whole new place,” Universal Orlando posted on social media.
