- The Stranger Things maze key art designed exclusively by Kyle Lambert, the official illustrator of the mega-hit Netflix original series.
- Featuring the series’ cast standing adjacent to the predatory Demogorgon, the ominous image depicts a nearly palpable account of what guests can expect to experience when the Stranger Things maze debuts as part of “Halloween Horror Nights” this fall.
- The Stranger Things maze, inspired by season one of the Netflix series, will come to life at Universal Studios Hollywood andUniversal Orlando Resort beginning, Friday, September 14 and at Universal Studios Singapore beginning Thursday, September 27, 2018.
What to expect:
- The parallel universe, referred to as the Upside Down, that terrorized the small town of Hawkins, Indiana in Stranger Things, will bring the chittering, predatory Demogorgon to “Halloween Horror Nights” to stalk unwitting guests as they encounter iconic scenes, characters and environments from the mesmerizing series.
- Working collaboratively with Netflix, along with the creators and executive producer of the blockbuster series—Matt Duffer, Ross Duffer and Shawn Levy, the mazes will be authentic representations of “Stranger Things,” designed to transport guests into artfully recreated scenes and storylines.
- From the menacing Hawkins National Laboratory, under the U.S. Department of Energy, to the Byers home adorned with an erratic display of flashing Christmas lights and the eerie Upside Down woods oozing a shower of floating orb-like spores, the chilling new mazes will offer surprising twists and unexpected turns around every corner.
