Quotes[]

  • "I met him fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no, uh, conscience, no understanding and even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply...evil." - Dr. Loomis
  • "Every kid in Haddonfield thinks this place is haunted." - Officer Brackett
  • "I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room, staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall." - Dr. Loomis
  • "He got hungry." - Dr. Loomis
  • "He was standing right there." - Laurie Strode
  • "See anything you like?" - Lynda Van Der Klok
  • "Annie are you alright? Are you fooling around again? I'll kill you if this is a Joke." - Laurie Strode

Trivia[]

  • The Codename for this maze was "Rock Festival". [1].
  • This Maze was located in the Parisian Courtyard, almost exactly in the original location of the Western Stunt Show building where the original 2009 maze was located.
  • This Maze was the First Maze Murdy took his daughters through. [2].
  • Murdy and Chris took a different approach to this Maze compared to the 2009 Version since that Maze didn't perform as well as they wanted it to. They decided to start the Maze with the Myers House in it's decrepit state which they thought was creepier. [3].
  • They’re starting with the Myers’ house again, but this time they wanted to focus on what the house looks like later in the film, when Dr. Loomis and Sheriff Brackett visited in 1978. [4].
  • Boneyard FX was responsible for recreating the original Michael Myers mask for both this maze and Hell Comes to Haddonfield, but when Halloween 4 was made into a maze in 2018, they used Trick or Treat Studios' Halloween 2 masks, likely due to the discontinuation of their relationship with Boneyard.
  • The Working Title for the Maze was The Ghost of Michael Myers. Murdy and Chris wanted guests to experience the ghosts of Michael’s past as if they were still haunting the old Myers House. [5].
  • Since the movie takes place in the ‘70s, the props and dressing team has to make sure every piece of decor, every photograph and every painting comes from the era. [6].
  • The Facade also included a Shadow Projection of Young Michael Stabbing Judith Myers. [7].
  • The Projection on the Facade was assistanted by Michael Aiello. [8].
  • This included a scrim illusion of young Michael appearing and disappearing at the top of the stairs. To illustrate the Ghosts of Michael's Past Aspect. [9].
  • They take Guests to some places the Film did not like Michael Myer's Room. [10].
  • Michael Myers created a sign to his sister Judith, who he murdered. Because he couldn’t stand to have her stare at him, he crossed and scratched her eyes out of the photos around the room. [11].
  • There is a reference in the film to Michael Myers having eaten a dog, even though it’s never shown on screen. [12].
  • The Half Eaten Dog in the Maze is from Alice Cooper Goes to Hell 3D.
  • The Trick 'r Treaters from Halloween III: Season of the Witch appeared in this house.
  • In Bob's Death scene, the Silver Shamrock commercial from Halloween III coud be seen playing on the T.V on the kitchen counter. [13].
  • Murdy believes the Linda’s death at the hands of “Ghost Michael” worked much better in the 2015 version. The 2009 costume/sheet kept slipping all the time so they created a special helmet/chin strap under the sheet to keep the eye holes in the right place. [14].
  • The strangulation was a pretty clever trick Chris came up with. Linda wore a 70’s phone cord “necklace” and the two ends of the chord were attached to the back of her costume like a harness. This way the performer playing Michael could “strangle” her without pulling on her neck. [15].
  • They experimented with a red strobe for Michael in some scenes. Murdy believes gave the scenes a different quality that seemed to go really well with the music stings from John Carpenter’s score. [16].
  • Murdy believes the scene in the bedroom with Judith’s headstone was beautifully designed and lit. [17].
  • The Pumpkin from the opening of the film could seen in the maze three different times.
    • Michael's Bedroom
    • Lynda's Death Scene
    • Gravestone Scene
  • The voice of Dr. Loomis guides guests through the maze, and guests see him confront Michael towards the end. [18].
  • The House starts in the Myers House and ends in the Myers House to be a Bookend for the House. [19].
  • The Scene with Michael fighting Dr. Loomis was Judith's Myer's Bedroom.
  • The Finale scene is a departure from the film and what they did before, it's meant to show the idea that "You can't kill the Boogeyman". [20].
  • They built a scale model of it and then a full size mock up to test our idea, taking a nod from Orson Welles. [21].
  • On one night during the event's run, John Murdy stepped in to play Michael in the final mirror room, and managed to scare guests in such a way that they got lost in the room. This caused a backup in the maze and he was asked to stop. [22].
  • This maze tied for Maze of the Year with Insidious Return to the Further.
