In a new announcement, it has been revealed that "Fallout" will officially have a house at Halloween Horror Nights.
"There's no sheltering from this horror," the social media announcement read. "See if you can survive the nuclear apocalypse as you're immersed in 'Fallout.'"
Much like the house based on "The Last of Us" in 2023 was based on the HBO Max series, it seems that the "Fallout" house will be based on the Amazon Prime adaptation starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten.

Even though it is recognized more as science fiction than horror, there are plenty of terrifying moments and themes that the team at Universal Studios can pull from.
First of all, the series is filled with gory moments that will give ample opportunity for designers to go wild with special effects.
Then there are all the various factions and mutated people that can pop in to terrify guests, like the Brotherhood of Steel, the inhabitants of Vault 4, and raiders.

Finally, there are all the monsters from the show that are sure to terrify guests, including Radroaches, Gulpers, and Ghouls.
Of particular note is the Yao Guai, which is a black bear that has been mutated by radiation. Halloween Horror Nights has shown off epic animatronics in the past, and this could be another opportunity to do so.
Needless to say, there is plenty of material to pull from just in the series. However, if the people at Halloween Horror Nights wanted to pull from the games, I'm sure casual and hardcore fans would be perfectly fine with that, especially looking at The Family from "Fallout 3."
