STRANGER THINGS is Returning to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights with All New Mazes
As a fan of Halloween, one of my favorite things to do is go to as many Halloween experiences that I can. Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights is always at the top of my list!
Last year they introduced Stranger Things to the collection of mazes that they create and they’ve announced that Stranger Things will return and it will be getting all new mazes.
The Stranger Things maze last year was okay. I was hoping it would be better, but it was pretty repetitive. But regardless, it was still cool to step into the world of Stranger Things in an interactive way!
While the first maze was inspired by Season 1 of the series, these new mazes will be inspired by Seasons 2 and 3. They will debut at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort.
Here are all the details thanks to a press release that we received:
This year’s chilling mazes pick up where last year’s mazes left off, continuing the suspenseful storyline where a predatory entity terrorizes the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, and delving even further into the parallel universe, referred to as the Upside Down.
The mazes on both coasts will also parallel the hit show as it leaps forward to 1985, taking guests on a terrifying excursion through portions of “Stranger Things 3,” which begins streaming July 4 on Netflix.
As with the previous mazes, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort are partnering with Netflix and the creators and executive producers of “Stranger Things” to create authentic representations of the blockbuster series.
Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” is the ultimate Halloween event. For more than 25 years, guests from around the world have visited “Halloween Horror Nights” to become victims inside their own horror film. Multiple movie-quality mazes based on iconic horror television shows, films and original stories come to life season after season. And, the streets of each park’s event are transformed into highly-themed scare zones where menacing scare-actors lunge from every darkened corner.
“Halloween Horror Nights” begins Friday, September 6 in Orlando and on Friday, September 13 in Hollywood.
