Crimson Peak
Great news, Guillermo del Toro fans! The director’s next film will gets its very own scare maze at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. Since Crimson Peak is set in a crumbling Victorian estate straight out of the fever dreams of Edgar Allan Poe and Mario Bava, we can expect its sure-to-astound sets to be replicated for this experience. Check out the following video introduction…
And here’s the official description of the maze from Universal’s press release, featuring a statement from Del Toro about the project:
“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.â€
