AMC’s The Walking Dead will once again inspire a creepy zombie-filled maze at the Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. The 2014 original maze will be inspired by season four of The Walking Dead and will mark the third year in a row the series will be a part of the annual Halloween scarefest.
“This has been an incredible collaboration and I am thrilled to be working once again with the creative teams at Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood to bring the world of The Walking Dead to our dedicated fans,” said Greg Nicotero, Executive Producer and Special Effect Makeup Supervisor for the series. “I can’t wait for visitors to experience first-hand some of the iconic moments from Season 4 in what will be the biggest, most exciting and frightening ‘Walking Dead’ maze to date.”
Per Universal Studios’ official announcement: “This year’s bone-chilling mazes will place guests at the heart of a harrowing journey to seek sanctuary at Terminus, an elusive destination that promises community for all. Mirroring the terror that befell the residents of the West Georgia Correctional Facility, now overrun by savage walkers, the experience will send guests fleeing from the fallen prison into unknown territory as they once again stage a desperate battle for survival against flesh-eating walkers and ruthless humans.”
“Bringing a horror property back for a third year in a row is always a decision that is carefully considered. Fortunately, The Walking Dead is unlike any horror brand around. Its appeal spreads across so many types of viewers. Hardcore and casual horror fans alike are watching week after week, and season 4 offered many new and unique environments and walkers,” added Michael Aiello, Creative Development Director for Universal Orlando’s Entertainment team. “This year, we are taking this partnership to the next level, with a monstrous soundstage maze and a scope that is bigger and badder than anything we’ve ever done in the history of our event.”
Visitors to Universal Studios Hollywood will also see the undead walkers prowling the woods surrounding the movie studio. And the “Terror Tram: Invaded by the Walking Dead” will put horror fans/park visitors on the road to Terminus and will include walkers and the burned moonshine cabin from season four.
