It’s not even midway through June and we’re already getting pumped for some spooky happenings in the near future, especially when it comes to a specific horror villain. On the plus, there’s Peacock’s upcoming “Crystal Lake” series. On the negative, “Friday the 13th: The Game” ceased online operations last year.
But if there’s one thing better than virtually running from Jason, it’s doing it in real life at Universal Studios theme parks.
Starting this September, a new haunted attraction is opening at the Florida based theme park in the form of “Jason Universe.” And while that might sound like a slightly off-brand version of “Steven Universe,” they couldn’t be further related. “Jason Universe” is being operated by the team that does Halloween Horror Nights to bring a robust “Friday the 13th” inspired experience to guests.
“Around every corner, fans will be inundated with infamous killer moments from Jason’s heinous homicidal career as he taunts and stalks his victims who learn too late that the legend is real,” Universal Studios says. The attraction will include the camp, Jason’s cabin, the main lodge, and the surrounding forest.
The house will be open on “select nights” starting September 4th in Hollywood, and August 29th in Orlando. So if you’ve got the time and the resources, get there while the going’s good! Just like the actual date of Friday the 13th, it doesn’t come around every month!
No word yet on whether or not the spaceship from “Jason X” will be featured; somehow, we’re not exactly holding our breath.
