TIMELINE: Before the Universal House of Horrors Walkthrough, there was Van Helsing: Fortress Dracula, The Mummy Returns: Chamber of Doom and Chicken Run.
Even further back in time is Marvel Mania and Victoria Station restaurants.

Van Helsing closed in November 2006 and a very speedy re-make began, to have the new attraction open at the end of March 2007. Rather than the feared cosmetic-only update, the House of Horrors has taken many of the existing elements and improved on them, while adding new sections along the lines of the Halloween Horror Nights event. After many years of neglect, Universal now has a place to celebrate it's horror history.

The centrepiece Frankenstein Lab has remained from Van Helsing (with some remodelling) and the spinning tunnel is still there (with a new improved UV paint-job). Although the route through the attraction remains the same, there are many themed areas along the way which are brand new, and always surprising. Whereas Van Helsing was dark all the way through, the House of Horrors changes around every corner.

August 2007: A new live character has joined the maze - The Phantom of the Opera can now be found searching for his new Christine... New props have also been added to the exhibition in the lobby.
