Yesterday, Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights announced Insidious: Beyond the Further, a new maze inspired by the upcoming film Insidious: Chapter 4. Today, Universal Studios made their final maze announcement for 2017, this time for “The Horrors of Blumhouse,” a maze inspired by Jason Blum, one of today’s most prolific producers of contemporary horror films. The maze will be featured at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Orlando Resort, but with variations to each.
At Universal Studios Hollywood, legions of terrified guests will come face-to-face with the most iconic and unnerving moments from the blockbuster The Purge franchise, Sinister movies and soon-to-be released Happy Death Day. In The Purge, guests will attempt to survive the night as they are immersed in the film’s depraved world, where all crime is declared legal as part of the government’s annually sanctioned 12-hour Purge. In what can be described as a living trailer for Happy Death Day, guests will experience a deja-vu scenario as they are forced to relive the last day of their lives over and over again in an attempt to escape a masked killer. The final nightmare will unmask itself in Sinister, where guests will encounter an ancient pagan deity who is determined to trap them in the sordid shadow world of the dead…for all eternity.
Upon entering “The Horrors of Blumhouse” maze at Universal Orlando Resort, guests will attempt to survive three of the most menacing anthologies in the Blumhouse assemblage. First, guests will face the horror of becoming stars in the next home murder movie of the menacing demon Bughuul, from the infamous Sinister franchise. Then, they’ll run for their lives to escape the gang of bloodthirsty home invaders from the first installment of The Purge saga. Finally, guests will be thrust into the Further from the Insidious legend, where they’ll come face-to-face with the paralyzing Lipstick-Face Demon from Chapter 1 and witness Dr. Elise Rainier’s own personal hauntings from her nightmarish childhood in a first-look at Insidious: Chapter 4 – in theaters January 5, 2018.
This year’s Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights kicks off on September 15, 2017. Additional details about Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” will be revealed soon.
