📢 The Closing of The Walking Dead Attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood 🧟‍♂️🔚

After thrilling fans for over six years, The Walking Dead Attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood officially closed on March 4, 2020. The year-round haunted house, which brought iconic moments from AMC’s hit TV series to life, was one of the park’s scariest and most immersive experiences. Featuring live scare actors, animatronic walkers, and authentic set designs from Greg Nicotero and the Walking Dead creative team, the attraction had become a fan-favorite for horror lovers. However, as Universal Studios evolves with new attractions, The Walking Dead walkthrough was permanently shut down to make room for future projects. While its closure disappointed many zombie apocalypse enthusiasts, guests can still experience horror at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, where The Walking Dead occasionally returns as a seasonal maze.
