Universal Announces All-Female Classic Universal Monsters Haunted House for Halloween Horror Nights

Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort have announced an all-female classic Universal Monsters Halloween Horror Nights haunted house!

The house, titled Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines, will feature The Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula’s Daughter, She-Wolf of London, and Anck-Su-Namun.

With a mission to kill, Dracula’s daughter, from 1936’s Dracula’s Daughter, forms a deadly alliance with the She-Wolf, inspired by the 1946 film She-Wolf of London, and Anck-Su-Namun, from the 1932 film The Mummy – only to be intercepted by Saskia and an unlikely ally, The Bride of Frankenstein. The terrifying adventure will take guests on a journey between the hunted and the hunters in a life and death battle with only one bloodline left to survive.

Netflix Announces ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Love Story

Dearest Gentle Reader,

It has been over a month since the eventful finale of Bridgerton season 3, and once again, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the news of a new romantic storyline. An exciting announcement from the official Bridgerton Twitter page states that the focus of the fourth season will be on Benedict Bridgerton’s journey to finding love.

In Julia Quinn’s book series Bridgerton, specifically in Benedict’s book An Offer from a Gentleman, the story revolves around Benedict’s quest to find true love with a twist. In this Cinderella story, Benedict meets a mysterious young woman at his mother’s Masquerade Ball and becomes infatuated with her. The woman, named Sophie, is the daughter of an earl but has been treated as a servant by her disdainful stepmother. Benedict embarks on a two-year-long journey to find her, and they eventually find themselves in each other’s arms.

In the concluding scene of season 3, Eloise (played by Claudia Jessie) is getting ready to leave for Scotland. While talking to Benedict (played by Luke Thompson), she casually mentions their mother, Violet’s upcoming Masquerade Ball, which hints at Benedict’s story. Up until this point, it had all been speculation.

Since the premiere of season 4 is not until 2026, fans can pass the time by reading Benedict’s book and rewatching the first three seasons.

Let us know in the comments what you’re excited to see in the upcoming fourth season, and remember to keep up with Nerds and Beyond for all your Bridgerton news.
