Eli Roth Scare Maze For Universal Hollywood.

[GavG]

Horror director teams up with Universal Studios to create maze inspired by 'torture factory' scenes from his 2005 film.

Ever fancied being the star of your own Horror flick? Hollywood's Universal Studios theme park will soon be offering the next best thing in the form of a Hostel-themed attraction designed by the cult horror film's director, Eli Roth.

Hostel: Hunting Season will take the form of a maze based on scenes from the 2005 film and will debut in time for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights season this autumn. Visitors will presumably be able to recreate the feeling of utter panic one experiences following the realisation that the Slovakian youth hostel where one had planned to get a cheap bed for the night is in fact the lair of women hired to seduce and drug tourists so they can be sold to torturers.

"Creating a maze for Halloween Horror Nights is a horror fan's dream come true," Roth told Variety. "I've been visiting Halloween Horror Nights for years, and still remember the heart-pounding terror of going through the mazes for the first time."

Roth will also help judge the event's annual short film competition, with the winner being announced on Halloween Horror Nights' opening evening: 23 September. Past attractions introduced to the theme park as part of its annual Halloween celebrations have included mazes based on the Saw and Friday 13th horror series. A maze based on the forthcoming The Thing prequel is also due to be introduced this year.

Haha, I thought this would interest you gazag [;)]

I would think that it will be an amazing scare maze and I hope that we will get a trip review when it opens, I would love to know the what's and the hows.

This sounds awesome. Is it only there for this one season, or will it be there in years to come?

the maze will be pretty awsome im bery shure, the film was abit meh but ive always wanted to go to a horror nights events to build up more ideas. however since im british i know how to create proper horror and not a big amount of scare *though i can* but i would love to see how the americans do it

i went to HHN last year and im going this year lol i will make sure to take lots of pictures and do a full trip report.
