Illusionists Penn & Teller partner with Universal Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights





Illusionists Penn & Teller Partner with Universal Orlando Resort to Create "Penn & Teller New(kd) Las Vegas" Haunted House Experience at Halloween Horror Nights

Penn & Teller are bringing their eccentric and edgy illusionist entertainment to life in an all-new 3D haunted house - "Penn & Teller New(kd) Las Vegas" - at Universal Orlando Resort's Halloween Horror Nights event.

This fall, Penn & Teller invite Halloween Horror Nights guests to step into a dark, dilapidated, radioactive post-nuclear version of "Sin City," as if one of their magic tricks has gone terribly awry and the city has been covered in nuclear ooze. Concepted by the duo themselves, the maze will feature the best of Vegas - showgirls, slot machines, little white wedding chapel, all-you-can-eat buffet, and more - all glowing with a green glow. 

"We've done more than just tap into the wildly creative minds of Penn & Teller... ...We've been working really closely with them. You are literally going to hear Penn directing you through this toxic wasteland before coming face-to-face with both Penn & Teller in this jarring 3D experience," said Jim Timon, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Universal Orlando Resort.

Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights has a more than 20-year history of creating an incredibly entertaining, horrifying Halloween experience that is consistently rated the nation's best.  The event features highly-themed, disturbingly real haunted houses based on everything from film to nightmares -- and streets filled with hundreds of specially-trained "scareactors."
