Get ready to scream your virtual lungs out, horror fanatics! Even though Halloween is still six long months away, spooky season is officially kicking off early in the metaverse. Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 22nd, because Blumhouse is unleashing their terrifying “Horrorverse” onto Meta Horizon! This isn’t just a taste of terror; it’s a fully immersive horror experience that will transport you directly into the heart-pounding worlds of your favorite Blumhouse franchises.
Imagine stepping into a nightmarish theme park, and that’s essentially what Blumhouse Horrorverse in Meta Horizon promises to be. Picture a dark and foreboding foggy forest, with the imposing and iconic Blumhouse mansion looming ominously at its center. This eerie woodland isn’t just for show; it’s a place where you can roleplay and socialize with your fellow scare addicts. You can encounter activities and interactive elements inspired by beloved Blumhouse stories as you bravely explore its shadowy depths. Think target practice areas ripped straight from the chaotic world of The Purge franchise, a hair-raising Wolf Man mini-game, and even a dedicated screening area where you can watch exclusive Blumhouse content that will keep you on the edge of your virtual seat.
But the terror doesn’t stop there. As you delve deeper into this immersive world, you’ll uncover even more chilling environments meticulously inspired by iconic Blumhouse and Universal movies that have haunted our nightmares. That includes terrifyingly intelligent AI gone rogue in M3GAN, the primal fear of Wolf Man, The Black Phone, and the terror of Happy Death Day. However, the true test of your courage begins when you dare to enter the infamous Blumhouse, where you can participate in the adrenaline-pumping “Survival Lockdown” game. Anyone within the virtual mansion can trigger the game by throwing the ominous Lockdown lever. Once activated, everyone inside will be randomly assigned a role: a desperate victim or a relentless villain. Victims must band together, their hearts pounding in their virtual chests, to locate missing keycards scattered throughout the house and desperately try to end the lockdown before it’s too late. Meanwhile, the villain, who can embody fan-favorite and utterly terrifying characters like the menacing M3GAN, the disturbingly masked Babyface, and more, will be single-mindedly focused on eliminating every survivor before they can manage to escape the clutches of Blumhouse.
You won’t have to wait much longer to feel the chilling fear of Blumhouse Horrorverse in Meta Horizon. It’s creeping in very soon, promising a unique and terrifying way to celebrate the halfway point to Halloween.
But if you’re already itching for more scares to tide you over until May 22nd, fear not! Meta Quest has you covered with many spooky, creepy, and downright terrifying experiences that are perfect for making the agonizing wait for Halloween a little less (or perhaps even more) harrowing. From battling xenomorphs in the claustrophobic corridors of Alien: Rogue Incursion to surviving hordes of the undead with friends in “Arizona Sunshine 2,” the list goes on.
So, get your VR headsets ready and prepare for a terrifyingly good time as we celebrate the halfway point to Halloween in the immersive world of Meta Quest. Get ready to dive even deeper into the scares when Blumhouse Horrorverse arrives in Meta Horizon on May 22nd! In the meantime, check out what the “Horrorverse” has to offer.
Alien: Rogue Incursion
It’s just you, your Pulse Rifle, and your trusty android companion against the universe’s perfect killing machine in Alien: Rogue Incursion. Based on the films Alien and Aliens, you take on the role of ex-Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks as she investigates a research facility in search of an old friend. Of course, it quickly becomes apparent the facility is overrun with xenomorphs, who will come out of the walls, floors, and ceilings as they attempt to hunt you down. With only a beeping motion tracker to let you know where the threats are coming from, Alien: Rogue Isolation creates tons of heart-pounding moments as you fight for your life against one of the scariest creatures in film history. Available on Meta Quest 3 and 3S.
Arizona Sunshine 2
Blasting zombies is always a good time, but it’s even more fun with some pals. In Arizona Sunshine 2, you can join up to three friends as you tear through the undead hordes, or work through a cinematic story of survival with just one. Even if you play by yourself, you won’t be alone, thanks to your canine companion, Buddy. You’ll also have a host of weapons to help you survive the end of the world, from machetes to shotguns to flamethrowers. There are a whole lot of zombies out there, so make sure every shot counts. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Cosmodread
For good reason, being trapped on a doomed spaceship is a classic sci-fi horror trope. The ship at the heart of the survival horror game Cosmodread is procedurally generated, so you’ll never know whether it’s enemies, hazards, or resources that await you behind each door. With precious little ammo, you’ll need to search carefully and fight skillfully as you try to escape and survive. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Creepy Cabin
You might want to get some friends to join you in Meta Horizon before you head to Creepy Cabin, a ramshackle, unassuming cabin waiting deep in a dark forest. If you dare to venture inside, you’ll quickly discover how Creepy Cabin gets its name. The dwelling is full of minigames and supernatural elements, like a spirit board that moves on its own and a nest of spiders you’ll need to cut back with an axe. You can explore Creepy Cabin and uncover the secrets of its haunting, hang out with friends and other users, and even watch premium horror content in the spooky immersive setting. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Death Game Hotel
The games might be familiar in Death Game Hotel, but the stakes definitely won’t be. In this hotel, you can play casino games such as poker or slots alone or against other people, but in each, you’re risking more than just chips. Play poker in Death Game Hotel and the pot might include a few body parts; overflow your goblet in Goblet of the Reaper and it’ll cost you your life. Bluffing, cheating, and watching your opponents carefully are all essential if you want to survive the games in Death Game Hotel. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Deep Cuts
Deep Cuts takes you into a strange world of movie-inspired action, in which you play a filmmaker searching through your own body of work to rescue your friend and collaborator. You’ll use powers akin to film editing to take control of the world, while also bashing your way through enemies with all kinds of “messy” physics. Deep Cuts is another entry into Scythe Studios’ Scythe Saga universe, which links it to the developers’ other horror games and promises a deep story to uncover along the way. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Dreadhalls
Darkness surrounds you in Dreadhalls. With only a small amount of light and your wits, you must navigate a massive, inky dungeon. But you’re not the only thing creeping through the shadows. The frightening sounds you hear in the dark are made by things that search for you, and you can only flee or hide to avoid them. Inspired by roguelikes, Dreadhalls uses randomized elements to make navigating its labyrinthine halls unpredictable every time. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and, Pro.
Drop Dead: The Cabin
The dead have risen and somebody needs to put them back down. After wandering into the spooky cabin of a mad scientist, you find yourself battling the vicious zombies he’s created. Luckily, you’ll have all sorts of melee weapons and firearms that will let you headshot any monstrosities that make the mistake of coming your way. Drop Dead: The Cabin amps up the action with the option to take on the horde either alone or with a friend in co-op mode. And with its mixed reality update, you can make your stand defending your own house instead of that of the evil Dr. Monday. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
The Exit 8 VR
The Exit 8 VR only becomes unsettling after you’ve played it for a few minutes, when you realize that the train station tunnel you’re walking down just keeps…repeating. Reach the end and you’ll find yourself back at the beginning. To make your way out, you need to watch for anomalies—any changes in your surroundings. If you spot one, you should turn back immediately, but if you don’t, you can keep going. The Exit 8 VR pushes you to be observant and creates eeriness, with anomalies ranging from the tough-to-notice to the absolutely unsettling. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
The Exorcist: Legion VR
Expanding on the film franchise, The Exoricist: Legion VR tells five interconnected stories in which you’ll need to learn the trade of demonic exorcism to face down the forces of darkness.

Available on Meta Quest, Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted
Delve into the universe of Five Nights at Freddy’s with the “Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience,” a collection of minigames drawn from across the Five Nights at Freddy’s games.

Just watch out for the animatronic characters—they’re not nearly as friendly as they might seem. Available on Meta Quest, Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2
You’re back to work in Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2, which expands on the minigames and story of the original to make for an even bigger, scarier FNaF experience.

The good news is, you don’t have to go it alone—Green Hell VR supports up to four players in co-op, giving you better odds against the hostile wilderness. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Horror Simulator
Demonic hauntings threaten your sanity in Horror Simulator, where your only hope is dispelling the supernatural. In each of the game’s haunted locations, your goal is to use sacramental items to learn more about the haunting and reveal the name of the demon responsible—while it threatens your sanity and tries to make you succumb to fear. The more a demon torments you, the bigger the threat becomes, so you’ll need to work quickly to solve puzzles on your own, or strategically with up to two friends in cooperative mode. A constant flow of new content updates helps guarantee that no two games are the same. Available on Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2, and Pro.
Killer Frequency
A killer is on the loose in Gallows Creek, and for some reason, the townspeople keep calling you—a local radio DJ—for help.

Nope Challenge
Face your fears, if you dare, in Nope Challenge. Each of the game’s levels pits you against a new phobia, where your goal is to hold out as long as you can.
