Classic horror fans, rejoice! If you ever wanted to ride a merry-go-round with the Mummy or eat cotton candy alongside the Creature from the Black Lagoon, you may just have a chance.

Universal Orlando Resort has announced a new theme park coming in 2025, dubbed "Universal Epic Universe". In the trailer, they say that they've asked fans what they want more of — and this new park will deliver.

Can you complete the titles of these vintage ''monster'' movies?

Universal Epic Universe is going to be composed of five different worlds, based around different properties and concepts. There's Celestial Park, a botanic and astrology-themed section, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic (partially based on the 1920s world of the Fantastic Beasts franchise), How to Train Your Dragon, Super Mario World, and Dark Universe.

If "Dark Universe" sounds familiar, it's because that was the planned name for a series of films rebooting the classic Universal monsters within a shared universe. The first was the 2017 Tom Cruise film The Mummy, but after the movie disappointed critically and financially, the rest of the films were put on the shelf.

Universal has since revisited the classic monsters, but in stand-alone films instead of a shared universe, with 2020's The Invisible Man, 2023's Renfield, and The Last Voyage of the Demeter, also in 2023.

The Dark Universe section of the new park promises an "ominous and chilling experience" that will "breathe new life into the Universal monster family." The trailer shows Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolf Man, and Dracula posing ominously.

The official description on Universal Orlando's website reads "From the experiments of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein to a shadowy landscape where monsters roam, Dark Universe is a world of myth and mystery."

What do you think? Will you be going to tour Frankenstein's lab, or the Black Lagoon?
