Legendary and Universal Pictures’ much-anticipated
Crimson Peak, directed, co-written and produced by celebrated filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, will come to life in a terrifying new
“Halloween Horror Nights”
maze
beginning Friday, September 18, 2015, at
Universal Studios Hollywood, it was announced today.
Crimson Peak opens in theaters on October 16.
“Guillermo
del Toro Presents Crimson Peak: Maze of Madness” will be unearthed 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, first as they
venture from her home in America, then to the decaying and haunted
Allerdale Hall mansion in a remote English countryside.
With a foreboding “Beware of Crimson Peak” 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.
“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,” said Guillermo del Toro.
“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.”
“Guillermo del Toro is a leading visionary in film, and
Crimson Peak provides endless opportunities to immerse guests
into the terrifying world that he created,” said John Murdy, Creative
Director at Universal Studios Hollywood and Executive Producer of
“Halloween Horror Nights.” “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.”
