EVIL DEAD will come to life as Haunted Maze at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights

Evil Dead is the best horror remake in a long, long time. It is also an impressive exercise of resourceful filmmaking by first time Uruguayan director Fede Álvarez and a thrilling performance by Jane Levy.

Now the ones that will need to exercise and show a great performance are this year visitors of Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. Both theme parks at Hollywood and Orlando will include a whole new Haunted Maze inspired in the Sam Raimi-Bruce Campbell produced gore fest.

Will Ash “Groovy” Williams appear as a small cameo at the end? We can only hope.

Description of the Evil Dead Haunted Maze

“In haunted mazes so terrifying, they could only be found at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, guests will be transported into the film and face off against a demonic evil that will stop at nothing to consume them. It begins when a mysterious passage from an ancient book is read, releasing an unearthly force of darkness. A pack of violently possessed victims, including the film’s starring character “Mia,” wreaks brutal carnage throughout the mazes – and guests must make their best attempt to escape.”

Director Fede Álvarez’s reaction.

“I’m thrilled with how popular ‘Evil Dead’ has become with horror fans, and it’s exciting that it’s coming to life at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights,” said Fede Alvarez, director of this year’s “Evil Dead” film. “Just like the film, this haunted maze is going to be over-the-top, in-your-face and completely outrageous – and I can’t wait to see it.”
