Description[]

Experience the twisted world of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez' acclaimed supernatural show From Dusk Till Dawn in a chilling new maze filled with blood lust and darkness on the Universal lot. Step inside The Twister, an exotic nightclub that conceals a terrifying secret. The star attraction is a dancer named Santanico Pandemonium, a mysterious and irresistible siren with a deadly agenda. Hidden beneath the night club is an ancient temple containing a labyrinth of horrors, where "culebras" – snake-like creatures — seek human blood to satisfy their eternal hunger. You'll find the Twister at the place where the dead roads meet. It's open...From Dusk Till Dawn!

Facade[]

The Facade was The Titty Twister Bar bathed in UV Lighting with various signs advertising what's inside all over the Facade. Outside was Richie Gecko, Seth Gecko, and the Doorman who would interact with guests. Guests would then enter the Maze.

Guests enter the Bar and are immediately scared by a Culebra from behind a Corner. Guests see a bunch of Alcohol Glasses with UV. Guests then see Santánico Pandemonium on Stage dancing with a Snake with Static Figures of Bikers on Chairs watching her. Guests are then attacked by another Culebra from behind a curtain before exiting the Scene.

Guests go into a Hallway with Lamps and see Santánico Pandemonium that pops out at guests from behind a curtain. Guests then enter a Room with a Tub as a Culebra pops out from behind a Corner at guests. Guests are then attacked by another Culebra from behind a curtain on the right.

Guests enter a Empty Room where a Culebra pops out from the left and then enter the Storeroom. In the Storeroom was a bunch of Crates of Weapons like Guns and Grenades. Guests would be attacked by a Culebra on the left before exiting the Scene.

  • Murdy noted that he was a big fan of the From Dusk Till Dawn movie when discussions about bringing the project to Halloween Horror Nights began, but had not seen the TV show, which had just debuted. Murdy revealed, “I was calling Greg Nicotero, who we worked with on Walking Dead but also does the makeup for Dusk Till Dawn, and even before we had decided to do this, I was like, ‘Greg, you know what we go for. I know the movie; I don't know the series. If you tell me that it has all the elements for Halloween Horror Nights, we'll make this happen, because I trust your opinion.’ He goes, ‘Believe me, this is perfect for a maze.’ I just talked to him last night. I was here late doing stuff, and I said, ‘I just want to thank you. You were absolutely right’. [3].
  • This Maze was made possible by Wilmer Valderrama from “That 70’s Show” fame. He was in the series and lobbied Robert Rodriguez on Murdy's behalf to do the maze. [4].
  • Actor, Wilmer Valderrama, was so impressed with the Maze that he said it felt like being back on the Set of the Show. [5].
  • The Scenic Design, like the Show, was heavily inspired by Mesoamerican mythology and architecture with a whole lot of heavily carved panels. [6].
  • Many of the female vampires wore prosthetics and special teeth. Most of the male ones wore masks. [7].
  • There was No Neon on the Facade. The Facade Effect was all done with UV. [8].
  • Murdy's Favorite Scene in the maze was the inside of the bar/show room with Santanico Pandemonium dancing with a snake. [9].
  • The Culebra Cut by a Chainsaw in the Second Bar Scene was a Reused Static Figure from Evil Dead: Book of the Dead.
