[Haunts] Crimson Peak Announced for Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood!

Well, while away at another convention, it seems as if Guillermo Del Toro and Universal Hollywood had a little announcement of their own at SDCC. Not the typical thing one sees in Hall H either, a maze announcement for Halloween Horror Nights.

GDT was all too thrilled to announce that his upcoming film, Crimson Peak, would be getting the maze treatment for HHN 2015 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

So, just what does the horror and monster movie loving director have to say about this one? Well, here's a look:

“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.”

If that's not enough for ya, here's a little from HHN Hollywood's Creative Director, John Murdy;

“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.”

What's interesting about this one, the movie doesn't come out until October 16th. So, guests to HHN will pretty much see bits of it before the film releases. This isn't the first time that Universal has done with this movies turned to HHN mazes, but I still have to question it as in my head it just doesn't make that much sense. 

Anyway, here's the announcement trailer and poster for this year's newest maze coming to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.
