With opening night of Halloween Horror Nights 32 just three days away at Universal Studios Florida, the entrance and exit signage for “The Last of Us” haunted house has gone up.
‘The Last of Us’ Haunted House Signs
The entrance to the house is located near Men in Black: Alien Attack.
Trusses are up, along with entrance and exit signs, and a small screen, presumably to display the wait time for the house.
A close-up look at the entrance sign shows the art of Joel and Ellie standing together, while a clicker looms behind. This same art is also featured on much of the merchandise for the haunted house.
Portals for the haunted houses arrived in the park last week. These stand nearby the entrances to haunted houses and other experiences, and will eventually display the house names, wait times, and warnings.
‘The Last of Us’ Haunted House
“The Last of Us” haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights 32 will be based upon Naughty Dog’s 2013 video game of the same name.
In the house, guests will “enter the world of Naughty Dog’s video game in real life, as [they] fight to survive and navigate [their] way through an abandoned Pittsburgh with Joel and Ellie.”
The PlayStation exclusive video game series follows Joel and Ellie, two survivors living in the United States America after an outbreak of a fungal infection drives the world into the apocalypse, called Cordyceps for short after the fungus the infection originated from. “The Last of Us: Part I,” on which the house is based, follows Joel Miller on a journey to take Ellie Williams, who is immune to the fungus, to a group who believe they can make a cure for cordyceps.
This year, the game was adapted into a live-action television series for HBO, starring Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie.
In the game, humans can be infected by breathing in spores from Infected. In the television series, the infection can only be spread by bite.
The house will be at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort.
