Jason Voorhees haunts Halloween with new universe attractions
Jason Voorhees Steps Out of the Shadows: New Immersive Experiences Hit the Halloween Season
Get ready to face the legend. This Halloween season, the iconic figure of Jason Voorhees is making a real-world appearance, teaming up with Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group (13FEG) and Horror, Inc. to deliver two brand-new, immersive attractions: Jason Universe: Survive the Night and the limited-edition Jason Universe: Director’s Cut. These terrifying experiences will be available at select 13FEG locations across the United States.
This collaboration expertly blends the established dread of the Friday the 13th franchise with 13FEG’s renowned haunted house expertise, promising an experience fans have never encountered before. The goal is not just to place guests inside a familiar slasher scenario, but to redefine how participants interact with the Jason Universe mythos.
The main event, Jason Universe: Survive the Night, thrusts guests directly into the path of the infamous killer. This officially licensed walkthrough haunted attraction puts participants in Jason’s domain, where they must navigate the darkness while trying to survive a relentless pursuit. The premise is stark: keep moving and survive until morning, as Jason seems to anticipate every move, ensuring that hiding may not be enough when he appears.
But the interactive element takes a distinctly different, and more dangerous, turn with Jason Universe: Director’s Cut. This limited-capacity experience allows guests to become the directors of their own sequence. Trapped in a rustic cabin, participants are given control over the narrative, choosing the fate of the characters by selecting actions such as “Panic,” “Slash,” “Strike,” or “Stalk.” Each choice dictates how Jason Voorhees attacks, giving groups a brief, visceral opportunity to decide the outcome of their encounter.
While guests get to control the attack, the chilling reality remains: Jason still controls the rest of the night. This interactive add-on offers a unique layer of engagement, pushing the boundaries of traditional haunted house experiences while deepening the immersion into the terror of the Jason Universe.
Horror, Inc. executive vice president Robbie Barsamian highlighted the drive behind this partnership, noting that the company is constantly seeking fresh ways to bring Jason into the wild, whether through games, online projects, or real-world experiences. He emphasized that partnering with 13FEG was a natural fit for delivering an in-maze VIP experience.
These thrilling attractions will be available this Halloween season at select Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group venues in major cities, including Denver, Colorado; Austin, Texas; Houston, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Nashville, Tennessee. Details regarding specific dates, tickets, and availability will be announced directly through Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group.
For longtime fans, Jason Universe: Survive the Night offers a chance to finally experience what it’s like to be hunted, while Director’s Cut offers the opportunity to gamble on the fate of the victims. This Halloween, Jason Voorhees isn’t just waiting at Camp Crystal Lake—he’s coming for you.
