Trivia[]

  • The codename for this maze was "Howdy". [1].
  • John Murdy has said that this house was one of the hardest to work on since the film primarily takes place in one room.
  • John Murdy chased for this IP for 10 years before being able to do it. But in all the time he chased it, he never really thought about how to make it a maze and that proved a huge creative challenge. [2].
  • John Murdy believes the The Exorcist is the Scariest Film of all time. [3].
  • The Solution in doing The Exorcist was relying on the Banned Trailer. [4].
  • The Maze used invisible black light effects and super low frequency audio. [5].
  • Murdy got to take Linda Blair through this Maze on Opening Night. [6].
  • Murdy believes this to be the scariest maze of 2021 [7].
  • This maze was rumored to have replaced a maze and the choice to bring this maze back was made by Universal [8].
  • In the Regan's bedroom while Father Karras is conducting the interview with Regan there is Regan's drawings scattered all throughout the room along with the taperecorder Father Karras uses to record the Interview. All of which were not present in The Exorcist (2016).
  • The Exorcist (2016) had a Father Karras actor in the first bedroom scene and a Father Merrin static figure in the vomit head spin scene. This maze switches it. There is a Father Karras static figure in the bedroom scene and a Father Merrin actor in the vomit head spin scene.
  • The actor in the levitating scene would sometimes clamp on his heart like he was having a heart attack since Father Merrin would die later in the maze. [9].
  • The black hallway scares right before the Pazuzu statue scrim effect scene was referred to as Drop Alley because the 2nd Pazuzu can see from a monitor of the 1st Pazuzu scare which person in that group is most likely to drop so when they come they can scare them and they drop.
  • Compared to The Exorcist (2016) the sequence of events play out more closely to the story of the film. The ending of the 2016 Maze was static figure of Regan on a bed and then a black box Pazuzu scare. The last scare in this maze is possessed Father Karras and then the sound of Regan crying right after being released from Pazuzu's grip.
  • This maze won Maze of the Year in 2021.
