Halloween Horror Nights (formerly known as Fright Nights) is an annual special event that occurs at Universal Studios Florida, Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal. ![]() It was an unseasonably cool and breezy fall- like day when I met Horror Night creative director John Murdy on the Universal Studio backlot on Tuesday afternoon for a walk- through tour of the Exorcist maze.“It’s been a long quest,” Murdy said. Predator and An American Werewolf in London. But never The Exorcist. Until now.“I’m afraid to watch the movie,” Murdy said. ![]() The film violates two of his three criteria for a good Horror Nights maze. While “The Exorcist” has high audience awareness, the film doesn’t have many interesting environments you would want to see or readily identifiable characters that can be easily replicated with live actors.“When you boil it all down, . I want people to feel like they’re getting possessed.”Spoiler alert: What follows is a detailed scene- by- scene preview of The Exorcist haunted maze and the technical aspects that helped bring the Horror Nights attraction to life. Throughout the maze, visitors continually meet the three main characters: Regan Mac. Neil, the demonically possessed 1. Father Damien Karras, a troubled priest and psychologist; and Father Lankester Merrin, an elderly priest who performs the exorcism. Pazuzu, the demon possessing Regan, tracks us throughout the maze. Sandwiched in the middle of the maze are several identical bedroom scenes where Regan’s possession and exorcism take place. To pump up the scare factor, the theatrical scenes are broken up with blackout hallways where visitors encounter subliminal visions of Regan, Pazuzu and even the priests. The entrance to The Exorcist maze, located behind the Revenge of the Mummy indoor roller coaster on the theme park’s lower lot, recreates the iconic movie poster with Father Merrin standing with a briefcase before a Washington, D. C.- area brick townhouse. The film’s “Tubular Bells” theme song plays amid the fog as a bright light shines from Regan’s upstairs bedroom window. Just inside the foyer, visions of the demon Pazuzu flash on the walls in a subliminal effect that will repeat throughout the maze. On an antique secretary desk, a planchette seemingly moves by itself on a Ouija board. A behind- the- scenes performer controls the Ouija board with magnets, Murdy said. And then bam. There it is. The film’s most memorable scene. The terrifying spider walk. Regan walks down the staircase upside down on her hands and feet. Via an audio track, visitors hear Regan’s mother say: “I’m telling you, that thing upstairs isn’t my daughter.”The spider walk scene, which never appeared in the original movie, was restored for the remastered version of the film, released in 2. In the movie, it was wire work with a stunt performer going down the stairs,” Murdy said. So that’s why they didn’t use it in the movie.”Murdy said some Horror Nights performers can do the spider walk, but not up and down a staircase over and over again for an entire night.“There’s no way you could do this with a performer,” Murdy said. During Horror Nights, a hidden performer controls the mechanical spider walk effect from behind the staircase, Murdy said. Between scenes, visitors travel along blacked- out hallways populated by demonic visions, puppeted figures and live “scareactors” with the ability to trigger audio and lighting effects.“We loaded up these dark transitions,” Murdy said. Otherwise it would be just like watching a theatrical version of . Doors fly open, windows slam closed, chairs move, pictures spin and cabinets shake. A demonic Regan lies on the bed as the mattress tilts wildy.“There’s a team you’ll never see on set behind the scenes doing all this stuff,” Murdy said. Which is what we do. We just do them live.”The live actors in the maze will wear silicone masks so the familiar characters look alike from scene to scene, Murdy said. The masks, developed for The Walking Dead year- round maze, allow scareactors with dialogue to realistically move their mouths. The bedroom scenes repeat — each time with Regan becoming more demonic than before. Her head spins and she spews green vomit. She levitates above the bed as the walls crack. The possessed girl flicks her serpent tongue and Pazuzu magically appears in the room. All interspersed with blackout hallways filled with in- your- face scares. Reprising “Tubular Bells,” the maze ends in classic Horror Nights fashion with a final scare, a final- final scare and a final- final- final scare. The Exorcist maze somehow managed to exceed my high expectations — even with the lights on and without any actors or audio effects. After a decadelong wait, Murdy and the Horror Nights crew delivered every scene I was hoping to see from “The Exorcist.” I can’t wait to come back when Horror Nights starts and see the finished production.
