With Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers mazes opening this Friday, Sept 14th at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando as part of the two theme parks’ yearly attractions Halloween Horror Nights, we got an exclusive peek behind-the-scenes this past Friday.
Thirty years since its release, the Danielle Harris-starring Halloween 4 is still beloved by fans, and celebrating the milestone, HHN creative director John Murdy, along with Halloween 4 director Dwight H. Little and Trancas International’s own Malek Akkad took us on a tour of the then still-under-construction west coast maze. And as per usual, Murdy and crew have spared no expense and ignored no detail in realizing Little’s film as a fleshed-out, haunted walk-through.
Said director Little of the maze, “It’s incredible. It gave me the chills. It’s been thirty years and it seems like it’s happening right in front of your eyes. I can’t wait to come see it as a guest of the park, and I can’t wait for anyone who had seen or who has not seen Halloween 4 to come experience this maze. It’s unbelievable.”
Will poor Ted Hollister make an appearance? That’s yet to be seen, but fans of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers should prep themselves for a fully immersive journey into some of the film’s main set pieces, from Penney’s garage and diner to the jack-o-lantern filled streets of Haddonfield. Check out the video below.
The Shape awaits.
