Calling all horror fans! Universal Epic Universe's Dark Universe is about to scare your socks off! Even if you're not a fan of "all things spooky", grab someone's hand (maybe not a stranger's) and take a deep breath. You're going to want to see this monster-filled world!

The Rides
Monsters Unchained
Dr. Victoria Frankenstein continues the work of her ancestors deep below the family estate. A demonstration of her experiments to control monsters goes awry when Dracula leads a revolt of enraged monsters including The Wolf Man, The Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and more.
Curse of the Werewolf
Beware as you face the Curse of the Werewolf, which sends you spinning and speeding through deep woods that werewolves call home.

Special Note: Got little monsters traveling with you? Even if they fit the recommended height requirements, these rides may be scary for them.
Live the Life of a Monster
At Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience, Dr. Pretorius’ old lab has been converted into a parlor to continue the spirit of his demented experiments. Here, skilled artisans use their talents to experiment on customers and release their inner love of Universal Monsters – be they werewolves, vampires, or something even more fashionably monstrous.
Something to note: If you're an adult and plan to take a walk on the wild side with this experience, keep in mind alcohol cannot be served to you while wearing your monstrous updo.
The Food
Das Steakhaus
Das Stakehaus is a mysterious restaurant where you can enjoy a hearty meal while surrounded by vampire artwork and artifacts.

The Burning Blade Tavern
Capture a tasty bite at The Burning Blade Tavern, where Darkmoor Village's monster hunters catch and display their monstrous trophies.
De Lacey's Cottage
Near Frankenstein Manor sits De Lacey's Cottage where you can refresh yourself with a variety of snacks and cool treats.
Meet and Greets
Visit Darkmoor Village and you may come face to face with some of the "locals." Frankenstein’s Monster and his Bride; Ygor; The Invisible Man; a courageous monster hunter; or a musician who may regale you with songs about the village. Feel free to say hello and take photos with them. But beware. You never know who – or what – may be lurking in the shadows.
Dark Universe is so fun, it's scary! We can't wait for you to see it in person!
