Universal Monsters: Legends Collide is announced
Universal Studios had horror fans excited for the 2022 spooky season this week as it announced its first haunted house to feature in its annual Halloween events.
The Universal Monsters: Legends Collide sees Halloween icons Dracula, The Mummy, and The Wolf all come together in one attraction.
The house, which is set in the 19th century, follows the three characters with one goal – to secure the missing amulet of Ra, and it already appears to be a hit with fans across Twitter:

Universal Monsters: Legends Collide is the first of many houses
The Universal Monsters: Legends Collide house will be available for fans to explore at both Universal Orlando as well as the Hollywood edition of the park.
Fans can expect nine more houses in the Orlando park and seven others for the Hollywood edition of the Horror Nights event.
The names of the other houses featuring in the 2022 Halloween Horror Nights event across the two parks are yet to be confirmed, although they are expected to be announced in the following months as per The Hollywood Reporter.
You can sign up for updates on both the Universal Hollywood and Orlando sites.
Until then, Universal has hinted that fans can expect “haunted houses inspired by the biggest names in horror, plus some of Universal’s own twisted creations.”

Fans have already begun sharing their predictions
Guessing for the 2022 house themes began amid the 2021 Horror Nights as threads dedicated to predictions on Reddit are seen to date back to October last year.
Across the hundreds of predictions, many seem set on a Stranger Things themed house. But who could blame them, as the first part of the fourth season will land on Netflix later this month, while the second instalment is set to drop in July.
Some also believe a house based on the Halloween film franchise could be on the cards following its return last year with Halloween Kills. While others have slated Candyman as a possible theme as the sequel to the 1992 classic was released last year.
One dedicated Twitter user Horror Night Nightmares has even gone as far as mapping out possible house theme predictions for the 2022 houses for both the Orlando and Hollywood parks.
