When and Where Is the Horror Unleashed Panel?

Universal Horror Unleashed’s HorrorFest panel takes place Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Electric Theater Center, 68 E Tabernacle St., St. George, Utah. Admission to this specific panel is free and doesn’t require a HorrorFest All-Access Fright Badge — a change from the badge-only pricing I had on hand when I first reported this panel’s addition to the festival lineup in August. Todd Wood, the Southern Utah haunt operator behind Haunted Wood Cove, introduces the session, billed as a behind-the-curtain look at how Universal Horror Unleashed‘s creative team designs and produces a year-round haunted attraction in Las Vegas. HorrorFest hasn’t named the specific panelists yet — only that they’re “creative team members” from the AREA15 haunt — but they’re promising additional surprises, including a giveaway of a pair of tickets to Universal Horror Unleashed.
