‘Fallout'-themed haunted houses are coming to Universal Studios theme parks
Wasteland horrors are headed straight for Halloween Horror Nights. Universal Studios will transform Prime Video's smash-hit series Fallout into a terrifying haunted house experience for this year's Halloween Horror Nights—dropping guests into a radioactive post-apocalyptic hellscape at both Universal Orlando Resort (starting Friday, August 29) and Universal Studios Hollywood (starting Thursday, September 4).
Inspired by the acclaimed 2024 TV series and long-running video game franchise, the new haunted house will give fans a chance to step directly into the scorched ruins of 2296. That means mutated creatures, crumbling Americana and plenty of panic as guests make their way through iconic Fallout locations, including Vault 33, the blood-soaked Super Duper Mart and the monster-filled Wasteland.
The experience kicks off underground as visitors follow Lucy MacLean's narrow escape from a violent Vault massacre. But things go from bad to worse fast, with encounters above ground featuring grotesque RAD Roaches, deadly Scavengers and Raiders and a radiation-scarred bounty hunter known as The Ghoul. Oh, and Maximus makes an appearance too—in his gleaming T-60 power armor.
Both parks will offer the full Fallout experience as part of their larger Halloween Horror Nights lineups, which include 10 haunted houses, scare zones, live shows and enough scream-inducing moments to satisfy even the most seasoned thrill-seeker. At Universal Orlando, tickets are now on sale for the full event, which runs across 48 nights through November 2. Visitors can opt for one-night tickets, Express Passes, RIP Tours and behind-the-scenes daytime walkthroughs with the Unmasking the Horror Tour. There's even a Premium Scream Night on August 28, for those who want to beat the crowds and be the first to panic.
Universal Studios Hollywood also has a full suite of ticket options, from General Admission to Early Access and unlimited-entry passes. A limited-edition Fallout merchandise collection has already dropped in both parks, featuring a haunted house-exclusive tee and tumbler—because nothing says 'nuclear terror' like a souvenir cup.
Additional haunted house themes will be announced throughout the summer, but if Fallout is any indication, this year's Halloween Horror Nights will be a radioactive blast.

Universal set to tick off big milestone for huge UK theme park
The entertainment resort will be home to some of the most advanced theme park technology in the world, with rides, attractions, and shows never-before-seen in the UK The early stages of recruitment have begun for Universal's first theme park in Europe. The UK is poised to become home to one of the world's most advanced theme parks once Universal Studios in Bedford opens its doors. When the plans were unveiled, the firm behind the theme park said it would inject a staggering £50 billion into the economy and create tens of thousands of jobs. It has been estimated that 28,000 jobs could be created by 2031, if the proposed attraction at a site which includes the former Kempston Hardwick brickwork is given planning permission. On the website of Universal Destinations and Experiences, a form has been uploaded which allows people to register interest in "future job opportunities". "We're committed to advertising these jobs to local people and will engage with the community at the appropriate time," it says. The firm has said 80% of the theme park's employees would be from Bedford, central Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes. The 476-acre entertainment resort complex will feature cutting-edge immersive attractions, exhilarating rides and rollercoasters, and even a 500-room hotel for guests to unwind after a day of excitement. The Bedford site will mark Universal's first venture into Europe and its sixth globally, joining esteemed locations in Orlando, Hollywood, Beijing, Japan, and Singapore. Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed his delight at the news when it was announced earlier this year, stating: "What a momentous day. What an important day. It's not just the first one in the United Kingdom - that would be pretty good. It's the first one across Europe. And that is really incredible., and it's going to put Bedford on the map for millions of people, film lovers, people coming here for fun, people building their careers here, it will create thousands of jobs for the local community." The entertainment behemoth boasts massive franchises such as Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Nintendo and Minions in its US parks, all of which are set to feature in the new resort when it opens its doors six years from now. In the meantime, nearly 20,000 jobs will be generated during the construction phase, with an additional 8,000 roles across the hospitality and creative sectors upon opening. An artist's impression of the potential park layout features a vast lake at the heart, surrounded by various 'lands'. The illustration depicts three large outdoor rollercoasters, as well as buildings to accommodate dark rides, children's attractions and two outdoor theatres. Universal has pledged to invest billions of pounds into this extraordinary entertainment venture. The creators have even suggested that the park could contribute a staggering £50 billion to the UK economy. Universal also disclosed that the theme park would enhance the infrastructure in the surrounding area, with significant upgrades promised, including an expansion of Wixams station and new slip roads on the A421. Mark Woodbury, the Chairman and CEO of Universal Destinations and Experiences, said: "Bringing a world-class theme park and resort to the United Kingdom is a tremendous opportunity and is part of our strategy to introduce the Universal brand and experiences to new audiences around the globe."

Clarkson's Farm fans make desperate plea to Jeremy and show bosses for next series amid flurry of scathing complaints
Clarkson's Farm fans make desperate plea to Jeremy and show bosses for next series amid flurry of scathing complaints Since its launch in 2021, Clarkson's Farm has received rave reviews, from critics and audiences alike. It has given audiences a glimpse of the complexities of life on a farm- including the time pressure that goes into ploughing fields and sowing seeds, the sensitivity of crops and the farmer's connection to the weather cycle and nature. Despite the chaos, the show consistently showcases the beauty of the verdant Cotswolds and the simple, humorous joys of country life. However, many ruled that the most recent season of the show took a more pessimistic tone. Season 4 of Clarkson's Farm was released in three instalments, with the final two episodes of the season arriving on Prime Video on June 6th 2025. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The season is orientated around Jeremy's aspiration to become a pub landlord, and the creation of his pub, The Farmer's Dog The season is orientated around Jeremy's aspiration to become a pub landlord, and the creation of his pub, The Farmer's Dog. Fans suggested that the latest episodes are devoid of the first season's country charm and were even too stressful to enjoy. On Reddit, a discussion emerged, sparked by one fan, who reviewed the newest season, saying 'I grew up on a farm. I now keep ducks. I understand mud, mess, and malfunction - I practically thrive in it. But even I found season 4 more existential crisis than entertaining chaos.' 'This season was too much, it wasn't the fun farming show with Jezza doing stupid and smart at the same time. It was too stressful to be enjoyable, the last 2 episodes especially,' said another. 'Lacking in genuine laughs and feel good moments...' echoed a third. But some commended Clarkson on his depiction of the day in, day out 'plight of the British farmer ', and the hardships that the agricultural industry demands. 'Things are so hard out there in real life. They said early on in the season how many pubs have shut down, and he decided to push on anyways,' a fan noted. 'They said how many subsidies have been cancelled, and they decided to push on anyways. This is what farmers, local entrepreneurs do every single day; because what happens if they don't. 'This season is quite demoralizing, tragic even I would say; but I feel for him, for them all, and I would only ever continue encouraging them to keep on keeping on. Their work matters so much.' Clarkson himself pointed out the importance of preserving pubs in the countryside, which are fast becoming scarcer: 'Loneliness is becoming a big issue in rural areas,' said Clarkson. 'If we end up at a point where there is no village pub, what is a village?' Clarkson's Farm has already been confirmed to have been renewed for season 5, and the general consensus amongst the audience is, they want to see a shift back to the lighthearted dynamic of earlier seasons and keep the focus on farming tasks. 'Honestly, I felt more proud watching him grow his first potato and shout 'I did a thing' than I did watching him throw piles of money at building a pub under pressure,' followed up another. The majority of fans feel that the show was at its peak when it focused on the farming basics: Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland vs Mother Nature. 'I want it to still be grounded in reality (such as the paint marker attachment for the seed drill) rather than trying something that stands no chance of working (like growing coffee) or feels like it is only being done for sheer spectacle (such as hiring a fleet of combine harvesters to try and complete the harvest in record time),' another chimed in. While a third echoed: 'I completely agree, one thing I liked about the first season that is was just a lot slower. Less stuff were going on so you had the idea you were following growth.' Clarkson's Farm fans sunk their claws into two 'horrendous' stars that appeared in the Prime Video show's finale. The docu-series, which follows Jeremy Clarkson as he runs his own farm Diddly Squat in Oxfordshire, hit our screens in 2021. The latest fourth series was released on the streaming service last month and fans are heartbroken that it has already come to an end. Episodes Hurrying and Landlording were released on June 6 - and followed the Top Gear presenter get ready to open his pub The Farmer's Dog. But while watching the final two instalments, some viewers had the same complaint about pub consultants Sue and Rachel Hawkins. The pair - who are known in the Cotswolds for transforming pubs - raised a few eyebrows when Pat Cummins told Jeremy to fork out on a number of questionable items, despite his £25,000 budget. One of those recommendations was to spend £40,000 on outdoor umbrellas. The pair ended up giving up their duties before the pub even opened, which left some viewers raging and taking to X, formerly known as Twitter to share their thoughts. 'These two took all the money and after just two days of operation, claimed the building was not suitable as a pub, quit, and left all the mess behind. 'You either point that out first and turn down the job, or take the money and make it work. scam+attitude issue #clarksonsfarm.' 'These 2 "experts" the entire time had no issues with the pub, just wanted Jeremy to spend, spend, spend. 'Tough opening and they both just f**k off, saying building's knackered. Where was that thought process before opening? Absolute frauds.' 'Never have I seen 2 people promise so much and deliver so little. I have a burning hatred of everything they are. 'They took on a job, they didn't raise imperative issues before hand and just let people suffer and stress.' Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the pair But while watching the final two instalments, some viewers had the same complaint about pub consultants Sue and Rachel Hawkins It comes after Pat Cummins exposed Jeremy's surprising act at 10am after a revealing chat with host. Just a few days ahead of the World Test Championship final at Lord's, Clarkson welcomed the Australian cricket captain to his famous Oxfordshire farm, Diddly Squat, to film a segment for the show. 'I've never been a fan of cricket,' Clarkson remarked. 'I always had too much hay fever to know what was going on.' Speaking to Nine's Today show, Cummins revealed that Clarkson had another reason to be interested in the sport. 'He grows willow trees, so he's making cricket bats,' said Cummins. 'I think he sees a fortune in the future where he's going to sell these willow trees across to India or Australia, so he talked commercial terms on some of these things rather than cricket.' Days before, new Diddly Squat farmhand Harriet Cowan took a cheeky swipe at boss Jeremy Clarkson by claiming not all farmers are '60-year-old men with beer bellies'. The glam blonde, 24, also starred in season four after manager Kaleb, 26, was unable to appear in several episodes. Now Harriett, who also works as a nurse, has said she hopes her starring role in the show will help challenge stereotypes around who can be a farmer. She told BBC News: 'I think when you talk to somebody and ask what they stereotypically think of when someone says farmer they say "60-year-old man with a checked shirt and a beer belly", and a lot of the time that is it, but us women are out here and farmers too. 'Just because I'm a small blonde that likes to curl her hair and wear make-up, it doesn't mean I can't be a farmer'.
