Last Friday, September 15, Universal Studios Hollywood celebrated the Opening Night of Halloween Horror Nights 2017, one of my favorite events of the year!

Find below a photo gallery (courtesy of the theme park) depicting the thrills that visitors can experience.

I have ranked the main 7 mazes following my subjective preference and level of enjoyment, but all of them are worth experiencing.

Oh, the horrors… #HorrorNights #UniversalHHN #insidious #theshining #ashvsevildead #americanhorrorstory

“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 the upcoming Happy Death Day movie, guests will experience 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.”

#6 “Ash vs Evil Dead”

“The “Ash vs Evil Dead” maze will transport guests into the town of Elk Grove, Mich., where they will encounter Deadites – people or objects possessed by evil demons – that have been unwittingly unleashed by Ash Williams – again. Throughout the maze, guests will come face-to-face with disturbing characters and iconic comedic and gory scenes from seasons 1 and 2 as they desperately try to escape all things evil…before it’s too late.”

5# “American Horror Story: Roanoke”

“The all-new disturbing maze, reimagined in acute and disturbing details, will unmask a cast of deranged killers, from the cannibalistic Polk family who subsist by feeding upon innocent victims to The Butcher who thrives on human sacrifices. Trapped in a vicious circle of evil and murder, guests will find themselves in a life or death battle to outrun the nightmare of Roanoke before the vindictive spirts and demented killers soak the earth with the blood of their victims.”

#4 “Insidious: Beyond the Further”

“The creepy new maze will delve deep into brilliant parapsychologist Dr. Elise Rainer’s past, starting with a childhood in which her paranormal abilities emerged…until her mother’s untimely death by a demonic entity. Troubled by a lifetime of evil supernatural spirits trapped in the Further—a vacuous netherworld caught between the living and the dead—Elise will take guests on an unsettling journey back in time through a portal into the Further to defy the most depraved and intimidating beings that have tormented her since the 1950s.”

#3 “SAW: The Games of Jigsaw”

“Based on the Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures hit horror film franchise, “SAW: The Games of Jigsaw” will bring to life the scariest game yet. In this all-new maze, guests will come face-to-face with the work of master craftsman “Jigsaw” and a collection of his most infamous traps from the SAW film series and upcoming eighth installment JIGSAW.”

#2 “The Shining”

“‘The Shining’ maze will provide guests with a unique opportunity to relive some of the film’s most iconic and sinister moments. While venturing through the eerie Overlook Hotel, guests will be thrust into the hotel’s tragic history of murder and madness, bearing witness to caretaker Jack Torrance’s spiraling descent into insanity. Nightmarish visions will come to life in this macabre maze, overwhelming guests with the “shine” of the murderous, ghostly entities that lurk around every turn – all while trying to escape the wrath of Jack Torrance as he violently succumbs to the hotel’s paranormal forces.”

#1 “Titans of Terror”

“Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and Leatherface are the “Titans of Terror” in the terrifying new slasher film maze, where guests fall victim to the silver screen’s most deplorable killers with an affinity for bladed weapons. The maze will be an assault on guests’ sensibilities as they descend into the forbidden realms of these horror icons: Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), wielding his iconic chainsaw, Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th), brandishing his relentless machete, and Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), swiping his trademark glove armed with razor blades.”
