Fright fans who think they’ve seen it all at Universal Studio’s Halloween Horror Nights have got another thing coming. Universal announced today that a maze based on the studio’s upcoming prequel/remake The Thing will be featured at its Orlando and Hollywood theme parks.

A collaborative effort between park designers and the film’s producers, the maze replicates the sets, monsters, sounds and music featured in the new thriller, which stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and opens on Oct. 14.

Halloween Horror Nights runs on selected nights from Sept. 23-thru-Oct. 31. Mrs. Muertos and I have attended the last four and highly recommend y’all check it out (but go Front-of-the-Line to avoid ridiculous waits and to have a laugh at those less fortunate than you ). You can see some of our pics here.

More on the maze:

The new haunted house will offer guests an unprecedented first-hand preview of the much-anticipated thriller in advance of its October 14 release. Guests will find themselves in a series of face-to-face encounters with “The Thing,” an alien creature that can transform itself into an exact replica of any living being.

“The Thing” maze will recreate the spine-chilling suspense from the film, confronting guests with the paranoia and fear that comes from being trapped inside the film’s Antarctic Thule station. The shape-shifting alien could be anywhere or anything. Will they survive?

Eerily authentic, “The Thing” maze will feature elaborately designed and disturbingly real alien creatures and sets. They will match the film’s terrifying intensity and provoke both a memorable and disturbing experience.

Universal’s theme parks have partnered with the film’s producers, Strike Entertainment’s Marc Abraham and Eric Newman to create an experience that is authentic to the film. The sets, audio, musical score, creature and character references are all based on the thriller.
