The activity has returned to the interactive "mazes" and haunted houses inspired by the famous horror films in the "Universal Studios" theme park in Hollywood, and the various types of monsters have come to life again in this theme park, which used to wear a special costume for the occasion of Halloween.

The "Covid-19" pandemic, which terrified more than all other scary creatures, last year cast a shadow over this Hollywood landmark, and led to the cancellation of "Halloween Horror Nights" (Halloween Horror Nights).

But the organizers decided to expel the specter of the Corona virus in the fall of this year, expecting that visitors will return in abundance to experience the excitement.

"Horror always attracts very well in the most difficult stages," said John Mordy, the technical director in charge of "Halloween Horror Nights", in a statement to AFP on the occasion of the resumption of activity starting yesterday.

He believed that this terror "teaches people to deal with their fears in daily life."

Since the start last April of the gradual reopening of California's theme parks after a full year of closure due to the epidemic, visitors began to flock to them.

Hygiene measures probably won't be controversial in the hallways of Halloween mazes, where most of the characters already wear very elaborate masks to disguise themselves as zombies, vampires or other monsters.

And my suppliers considered that protection measures against “Covid-19” constitute an “additional creative challenge.”

In addition to the amount of fake blood, smoke, light and sound effects used in this maze, the background music was provided by Slash, the famous guitarist in the band "Gans N Roses", who is also a fan of horror films.

The maze leads to the "zone of fear", where the wolf-woman character in "She Wolf Woman of London" wanders in search of prey, close to other games featuring female characters, one inspired by the movie "The Exorcist", The other is from the series "The Hunting of Hill House" via "Netflix".

"Frankenstein's Bride"

One of the theme park games this year was dedicated to the movie "The Bride of Frankenstein" and was designed as a sequel to the tape dating back to 1935, based on the assumption that the bride of the famous freak created by Frankenstein remained alive and working to restore it in a laboratory. Which is why she put on a surgical mask.

John Mordy: “Protective measures against (Covid-19) present an additional creative challenge.”
