The grand opening of Universal Orlando's Universal Epic Universe is right around the corner, and horror fans can get their hands on some tasty horror-themed merch when the Dark Universe opens its doors on May 22.
The Epic Universe consists of five immersive new worlds, including Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk and, what you horror fiends are here for, the Dark Universe, which features rides and animatronics (described as “some of the most visceral, powerful, and fast-moving animated figures ever created,”) based on Wolf Man, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and more.
The range of Epic Universe exclusive merch, which will be available at 20-plus locations throughout the theme park, includes apparel, accessories, home decor, toys, and collectibles inspired by the aforementioned legendary Universal Monsters.
An official press release teases more:
Guests of all ages wanting to take their fandom to the next level can visit the Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience and become fashionably monstrous with elaborate face paint, as well as shop for an extensive assortment of cosplay attire in Pretorius’ Scientific Oddities, located adjacent to the makeup experience, to complete their looks. More details will be revealed soon on how guests can choose their destiny and transform into their favorite Universal Monster with this all-new experience.
Aspiring monsters can also take home the terror with commemorative merchandise like the Bitty Monsters collection – complete with apparel, headwear, collectible figures, and plush. The spine-tingling experiences throughout Darkmoor also inspired all-new collections themed to Frankenstein Manor – home to Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, Dr. Pretorius, The Burning Blade Tavern, and Curse of the Werewolf. Guests can find these and other eclectic items at Pretorious’ Scientific Oddities as well as The Manor Storehouse and Guild of Mystics retail locations in Dark Universe.
