We are counting down the days until Universal’s brand-new theme park, Epic Universe, opens on May 22nd, 2025! Universal is slowly releasing more and more details about what to expect inside the park, and now we are getting a look inside one of Epic Universe’s new experiences.

Universal released an exclusive look inside the Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience at Epic Universe. This experience is located inside Dark Universe and allows guests aged 5 and up to transform into monsters.
We got to step inside the Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience with Pete Carsillo as he was transformed into a monster. Pete Carsillo is the Senior Creative Director and former makeup artist. Inside of Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience, “monster makers have converted Dr. Pretorius’ old laboratory into a parlor to continue the spirit of his demented experiments.”
Pete Carsillo showed us around and even pointed out some of the props inside the space — you can see his old makeup case! Then he took a seat and talked more about the experience as he was transformed into Frankenstein.

The experience is open to anyone over 5 years old. Yep, even the adults can get transformed into their favorite monster! There are two options for this experience: Experiment Ticket and Transformation Ticket.

The Experiment Ticket includes full face makeup only and starts at $45 per person. While the Transformation Ticket includes full face makeup and matching accessories. The Transformation Ticket starts at $169 for adults and $109 for children ages 5-9. Guests under the age of 18 must always be accompanied by a guest 18 years or older.

You can be transformed into werewolves, vampires, and more of your favorite Universal Monsters. However, there is an unexpected consequence of being transformed into a monster: no more alcohol purchases while wearing the makeup. So grab your alcoholic beverages before or be prepared to take the makeup off because one of the rules is that guests won’t be able to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages in the makeup.

Oh great, I can just see a lot of idiotic “influencers” getting made up and running around trying to scare people for “likes”.
