Not done yet with everything from Halloween Horror Nights 25 at Universal Orlando. Nope, not by a long shot. Earlier we brought you news of the five new scare zones coming to the event for this year. Now it's time to take a look at the new mazes.

This year is one of the biggest ever in HHN history down in Orlando and with 9 hours, 5 scare zones and two shows, there's just a ton to cover with all of this. So, hope you've enjoyed the trip so far as there's not a whole lot left.

Right then, let's get to it!

Jack Presents - 25 Years of Monster Mayhem

"Jack is back and he invites you to join him for the ultimate reunion in horror. Universal classic monsters will attack from the shadows, meat-grinding maniacs will rip every scream from your throat, and ghosts of Horror Nights past will stalk you around every corner.

You’ll find yourself dying to get in and relive your most haunting memories of the past 25 years of Halloween Horror Nights."

This sounds a bit like the house they had for Halloween Horror Nights 16, but with Jack running the show. I'm sure a lot of differences will be there and a ton of new and terrifying scenes will have to be navigated. It's hard to do an anthology house like this, but we'll see how it pans out.


Run - Blood, Sweat, and Fears

"Congratulations! You’ve been selected to be one of the lucky contestants on RUN, the most popular and brutal television show in the world. In this house, you’ll have to try and avoid the skilled assassins known as Reapers as you work through “death obstacles” designed to mangle and shred—all for the amusement of the audience watching from home. And good news: the now run-down Hellgate Prison has been selected as the battleground. Good luck!"

This one screams "Running Man" to me, and well, it's hard not to see where that comes from with that description. That said, it's gonna be kinda cool to see how they turned that movie's themes into a maze. A little more action oriented for sure, but there's always been one of those to grace HHN from year to year usually.

Asylum in Wonderland 3D

"A new volume of Scary Tales has been released by Ultra Violent Comics: “Asylum in Wonderland”. This time around, you’ll follow the white rabbit through the looking glass and into a murderous 3-D Wonderland. All of the beloved characters will come to life in this chaotic world with an insane, nightmarish twist. You’ll be left asking one question: Is it all really in Alice’s mind? Or are the images you see real enough to kill you?"

Ah, yes, the 3D house. Had to be in here somewhere and there we have it. Not sure why they're doing the double dip with the Scary Tails stuff this year as there could've been some other nostalgic properties to bring in from the past that could've worked just as well, if not better.

Body Collectors - Recollections

Emerging from the darkness on a cold, winter night, they descended upon the unknowing inhabitants of Shadybrook Asylum.

Get ready to face their sharpened blades as the screams of their recent victims echo throughout the halls."

Well, well, well, this one is an interesting addition to things. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the new Psychoscarapy scare zone is gonna be close by with this. Ya know, asylum themes fitting together and all that.

Overall, not a bad line up and I'm happy to see the return of so many original properties and new twists on things. One of the things I can't stand is lack of creativity with these big events and while there are some outside IP mazes and the like, it's not too horrible compared to some other places out there.

Now, there's one more maze to get to, but I'm gonna do that in a separate post since it just seems like the right thing to do. So, sit tight and hang on for the final leg of our Halloween Horror Nights 25 at Universal Orlando coverage!
