Today at Comic-Con, Legendary and Universal Pictures’ much-anticipated Crimson Peak, directed, co-written, and produced by celebrated filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, is coming to life in a terrifying new “Halloween Horror Nights” maze!

“Guillermo del Toro Presents Crimson Peak: Maze of Madness” is being described as a three-dimensional living representation of the film, designed to send guests spiraling through the chilling world, and in the footsteps, of Crimson Peak’s lead character, Edith Cushing.

Guests will venture from Edith’s home in America to the decaying and haunted Allerdale Hall mansion in a remote English countryside. “Beware of Crimson Peak” will echo throughout the maze, a message that echos from Edith’s past.  Guests will navigate a labyrinth of paranormal tortured souls who have born witness to the estate’s dark history of unspeakable acts…and who continue to reside in vengeful, ghostly forms.

Guillermo del Toro said in a statement, “I am a devoted fan of Universal Studios’ ‘Halloween Horror Nights,’ and I am honored to partner with them to create a real-life version of my Gothic Romance, Crimson Peak.” He continued,  “It’s a thrill to work with the movie studio that gave birth to the modern horror movie genre. I can’t wait for movie-goers to enter the haunting world of Crimson Peak as they navigate this haunting maze. I can assure you, I will be first in line to experience the scares of it myself.”

John Murdy, Creative Director at Universal Studios Hollywood and Executive Producer of Halloween Horror Nights said of Guillermo, “(He) is a leading visionary in film, and Crimson Peak provides endless opportunities to immerse guests into the terrifying world that he created. From the haunting score by Fernando Velázquez to the incredibly detailed set design and scream-inducing ghosts, we will recreate an authentic experience that will have guests feeling as trapped in our ‘Crimson Peak’ maze as the film’s lead character.”

OKAY SO HOW UNBELIEVABLY EXCITED ARE YOU FOR THIS NEWS?  We have the most amazingly detailed maze makers in Universal Hollywood working with the expert art direction of Chris Williams, the production of John Murdy, and the masterful look and storytelling of Guillermo del Toro.
