Ash Vs. Evil Dead (Hollywood) was one of the seven haunted mazes that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights 2017 (Hollywood). It was located in the Metro Sets.

Description[]

The story begins in an isolated cabin in the woods. It was there that young Ash Williams and his friends stumbled upon a book and unwittingly unleashed an ancient evil on the Earth. After losing all of his friends, and his right hand, the evil was vanquished and life returned to normal. Ash settled into the quiet life, living in a trailer park, drinking in dives and working in an undemanding, dead-end job.

But evil doesn't sleep forever. Thirty years later, poor Ash screwed up and recited passages from that book one lousy time and evil has found him again!

Now it's time for Ash to reclaim his chainsaw and save the world again from an evil worse than anything he has confronted before.

Experience[]

Facade[]

The facade was Ash's RV with a sign out front that would play clips from the show. Guests would walk through hanging laundry and up a ramp to enter the maze.

Haunted Maze[]

Guests would enter the RV and see a Deadite arm with an axe embedded in it trying to reach inside. Guests would go down a hallway where Ash's chainsaw could be seen on the left with a blinking light. Deadite Vivian would pop out at guests and then Ash Williams would come out and shoot her with a shotgun pushing her back.

Guests would exit the RV and go through a black hallway and down a ramp to enter a long hallway with fences and clothing sheets. There was a projection of Deadite Vivian behind a white curtain. Later down the hall she would pop out from the right.

Guests would finish going down the hall and turn right where Deadite Mr. Roper would pop out at guests from above. Guests would then see Ash's childhood home with graffiti saying "Ashley Slashy" on it. Before guests entered the house, Deadite Vivian would pop out from the left. Guests would then enter the house.

Guests would then go down a hallway where Deadite Cheryl would pop out from behind a door that said "Cheryl" on it. Guests would then go into Ash's bedroom to see Ash Williams with Deadite Cheryl on him trying to bite him. Guests would then exit the house.

Then, guests would see Deadite Amanda lifting up the two campers and greeting guests. Guests would then go down a very long series of black hallways with one Deadite Amanda scare.

At the end of the black hallways, guests would approach the cabin from which Ash Williams would pop out from the left with a chainsaw. Inside the cabin, guests could see Pablo Simon Bolivar with the Necronomicon on his face. Guests would then be attacked by Demon Spawns from the windows. After that, they would go down a black hallway where a Demon Spawn would pop out from the right and Ash would pop out in front of them. Guests would then enter the cellar.

Inside the cellar were more Demon Spawn scares. Deadite Henrietta would pop out at guests from the right. Guests would continue on to see a Deadite Henrietta puppet moving it's head as Ash jumpedout from the left with his chainsaw.

Guests would then go down one last black hallway where Ash would pop out from a boo-hole before guests exited the maze.

Quotes[]

  • You see, in ancient times, there was a group known as the "Dark Ones," neither demon nor fully human. They created this book as a weapon against humanity. These pages were cut from the bodies of the damned, upon which the Dark Ones inked their passages in human blood.

Trivia[]

  • For Ash Vs Evil Dead, they got permission from Bruce Campbell to recreate his likeness. Once again, he turned to Magee FX to tackle the project. They wanted an aggressive look since he was going to be battling Deadites the entire maze [1].
  • Ash Vs Evil Dead actually had 3 facade statements in the maze. Ash’s trailer, Ash’s childhood home and the infamous cabin in the woods. The maze was basically divided into those 3 sections [2].
  • Ash's Trailer was actually a really difficult facade to create with the curves and making it accessible to everyone. But Chris and Murdy loved the idea that Ash lived in a trailer park so they went there and it gave him an idea of how to setup the story [3].
  • Since the trailer park had a big sign out front in the series, Murdy had a digital display built into it so it could transform into a video prologue for the maze. He knew Evil Dead was a cult film and the series was new so he wanted to try and explain the world of Ash to new fans [4].
  • The interior of Ash’s trailer was a really fun set for them to create. The scene was conceived for the Demonite version of Ash’s neighbor Vivian to attack first and then Ash drives her back with a few blasts from his broomstick [5].
  • They wanted to feel like a lived in trailer and more specifically a trailer Ash Williams lived in and Murdy thinks their prop team nailed all the details [6].
  • In the opening scene there was a card that read "Greetings from Ashland" on the fridge.
  • One little detail that Murdy thinks a lot of people missed. A Deadite arm reaching through the window. This was in the series and he wrote it into the treatment but he thinks it got a bit lost with all the other things going on [7].
  • Once you left the trailer and got outside, you continued to be stalked by Deadite Vivian and Deadite Roper (from Ash’s workplace) [8].
  • The next section started with the facade of Ash Williams childhood house. When they’re designing a maze inside a tent, like this one was, they have to locate tall sets in the middle of the tent (at its highest point) [9].
  • One fun detail on the facade, the “Ashy Slashy” graffiti. Again this was a detail from the show that Murdy wrote into the treatment for the maze [10].
  • Ash’s old bedroom was another really fun set but the scene didn’t come out exactly as designed and written in the treatment. Ash was supposed to crash into the scene with Deadite Cheryl on his back. They built it but it was just too much for the performers so they had to drop it [11].
  • They replaced that Effect with Deadite Cheryl on Ash's back with another detail from the show [12].
  • Several scenes that were cut from the final maze include Linda's head in the vice in the shed, the possessed trees, and the possessed Delta [13].
  • The last major sequence in the maze was the cabin in the woods. They had done this scene for the maze based on the remake of Evil Dead years before so it was fun to revisit it for them and Murdy thinks their lighting designer did a really good job lighting it [14].
  • The Necronomicon appeared 3 different times in the maze as Easter Eggs: One in the RV, one in Cheryl's room, and one inside the first room of the cabin. They were illuminated and augmented with UV Paint so the eyes and mouth glowed [15].
  • The interior of the cabin is an iconic horror environment from the original films and had the twist from the series of Pablo with the book face [16].
  • As guests make their way through the cabin on the way to the basement, they run into a new threat from the series, The Demon Spawn. These characters had special body suits done with dye sublimation printing. This was to help the costumes breathe easier for the performers [17].
  • The final sequence involved an encounter with Henrietta. She was done as both a live performer with a body suit & mask & as a puppet being controlled by a blackout performer behind the scenes [18].
