Horror Nights 2017: The Shining Maze Preview at Universal Studios Hollywood Universal Studios Hollywood will open the gates of hell on Sept. 15 for the 2017 edition of Halloween Horror Nights. I had the pleasure of touring the attraction at its early stage of construction, and then speaking with its creator, John Murdy (Director, Creative Development & Exec Show Producer – Universal Parks & Resorts). Get all the details in the video below and go to their website to explore all ticket options, including the all-new R.I.P. Tour, the After 2 p.m. Day/Night Combo Ticket, the Frequent Fear Pass, and Front-of-Line ticket. ““The Shining” maze at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights 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.”
