Universal Studios has announced a brand new maze coming to this year’s Halloween Horror Nights inspired by Netflix’s hit sci-fi show Stranger Things. Guests will be transported from Universal Studios to Hawkins, Indiana where they’ll eventually end up in the supernatural realm of the Upside Down.
The new maze, which was revealed today, will be inspired by Season 1 of Stranger Things and will include all of the supernatural and suspenseful frights from the show to terrorize guests. Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer and executive producer Shawn Levy are collaborating on the project, helping Universal recreate some of the show’s most iconic scenes, 80’s settings, and characters.
As detailed by Universal:
You’ll faithfully follow the storyline, starting off on Mirkwood and then quickly moving to inside Hawkins National Laboratory where things have gone terribly, terribly wrong.
From there you will experience all the most memorable moments and environments from the show while being hunted at every turn by the Demogorgon.
And of course, you’ll step into the mysterious darkness of the Upside Down more than once – whether you like it or not.
The Stranger Things maze will be coming to Universal Studios Orlando and its sister parks, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Singapore. It’s the first of nine haunted mazes announced for the seasonal celebration. Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights runs from September 14 through November 3.
Meanwhile, Season 3 of
Stranger Things is currently in the works, but does not yet have a premiere date for Netflix.
