The Adventures of Conan: A Sword and Sorcery Spectacular was an attraction at American theme park Universal Studios Hollywood that ran from 1983 to 1993. It was an 18-minute[1] live-action stage show, similar to the theme park's other "action spectaculars", that took place in a 2,200-seat indoor theater[1] and was loosely based on the film Conan the Barbarian.[2] The show was designed by Gary Goddard, and cost $4 million dollars to build.[1]

It debuted on June 18, 1983,[2] replacing the "Castle Dracula Live Show", and ran for 10 years until it was replaced in 1993 by Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue.
