‘Oh my god, I’m in the game’: inside The Last of Us’s horrible Halloween treat

Fans of the video game and TV show can scare themselves silly in a live-action haunted house' spin-off at Universal Studios Florida theme park. Co-creator Neil Druckmann takes us on a tour

The Last of Us, we can confidently claim, is the most successful video game adaptation ever. Not only is the game accepted as one of the greatest ever made, but this year's big-budget HBO TV adaptation, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, has been decorated with awards. It was HBO's second-biggest premiere since 2010, going on to average 32 million viewers an episode.

Its latest adaptation achievement? A live-action haunted house for Universal Studios' annual Halloween Horror Nights. Now in the event's 32nd year of scares, and arguably the world's premier event for horror fans, spooky season sees Universal theme parks transform into horror shows after dark - with experiences based on recognisable franchises, such as Stranger Things and The Exorcist: Believer, as well as original concepts.
