Enter the “Horrors of Blumhouse” film festival, where horror movies come to life. Pack your bags and get ready for the spring break trip of your nightmares. A group of college kids have unwittingly unleashed an ancient curse, forcing them to play a never ending game of Truth or Dare—but this time the rules are a little different; the stakes are life or death!

Next, enter the familiar world of cyberspace with Unfriended. A chatroom session amongst high school friends has turned into an endless night of terror! Exactly one year ago, fellow student, Laura Barns, committed suicide as a result of cyberbullying. When an unknown user assumes control over Laura’s online account, the group of friends attempt to expose the infiltrator’s true identity—forcing them to face their darkest secrets and lies. Soon they realize, this is no ordinary hacker. Let’s hope you make it out of cyberspace alive… 

Experience[]

Facade[]

The facade was a classic movie theater with the posters of Truth or Dare and Unfriended on the left and The Girl on the right. The marque would say The Horrors of Blumhouse on the left side and on the right it said Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare and Unfriended. Guests then entered the maze.

Haunted Maze[]

Guests would go through a short hallway before coming towards a brick wall with UV showing the words Truth or Dare and Calix's face on the side.

Guests would then approach a fence with a sign saying Prohibido El Paso and would enter in between the 2 fences to enter the facade of an abandoned church.

Guests would enter the church and see a bunch of arches with statues. On the left was a statue with no head that was a Living Statue that would pop out at guests as Olivia Barron would pop out on the right.

Guests would enter a small hallway with a slide down painting scare by Inez Reyes. Guests would then enter the missionary of the church to see the priest in pieces all through the scene as Inez Reyes pop out at guests with a axe.

Guests enter a black hallway leading to another room in the church where Carter would pop out at guests cutting off his tongue and Lucas Moreno would pop out at guests as well cutting his throat. Guests would go down a black hallway with a Olivia Barron scaring from a black boo hole.

Guests would then enter a black room with a projection of the Skype call from Unfriended. Guests then go through a black hallway into Ken's room.

Inside Ken's room with Ken Smith with his hand inside the blender with his computer next to him showing the Skype call. Guests would then see a bunch of lights hanging and Laura Barns would appear behind a mirror before then popping out at guests.

Guests went into a black hallway and then entered Jessica's bathroom where Jessica Felton is on the toilet with a curling iron in her mouth and her phone projecting the Skype call. Laura Barns then pops out behind the shower curtains.

Guests then enter a black hallway and then enter Mitchell's room where Mitchell Roussel is scaring guests with a knife in his eye and his computer is next to him projecting the Skype call. Guests would then be scared by Laura Barns from behind a slide mirror door.

Guests then enter a black hallway with curtains at the end projecting the Skype call as Laura Barns bursts through the curtains to scare guests one last time. Guests would then go through a black hallway to enter the movie theater.

Guests re-enter the movie theater to see the Girl movie poster with a scrim effect showing a static figure of The Girl behind it. Guests then went down a black hallway leading into the next room.

Guests then enter the intro from Blumhouse's logo to see a painting moving and the lightbulb flashing as the Girl pops out at guests. There was a mirror in the scene showing a Demon behind it.

Guests then went down a black hallway before entering a hallway with a series of doors and projection of the Girl welcoming you down the hallway with the Demon behind her. On the last left door the Demon would pop out at guests.

Guests then went into a series of black hallways with 4 Demon scares from black boo holes before exiting the maze.

Trivia[]

  • American Horror Story: Asylum was initially rumored to be in this location, due to the success of the previous mazes and Murdy's interest in that specific season, but due to the Disney and 20th Century Fox merger, AHS could no longer come to the event.
  • Oddly, on the board containing warnings, rules, and legal information in front of the house, Happy Death Day was listed alongside Truth or Dare and Unfriended as one of the properties included, despite not appearing anywhere in the maze. The reason for this is unknown.
  • There were multiple versions of this maze with different films that all fell out for various reasons [1].
  • They went through different properties before landing on Truth or Dare and Unfriended [2].
  • Taking inspiration from Blumhouse’s own logo sequence that proceeds everyone of their films, they came up with a mock film called “The Girl” that brought to life the creepy girl in the haunted room that you see in that logo. They even made a faux movie poster for it [3].
  • Part of what they were looking for was variety in the experience. The “Truth or Dare” sections were set in a Mexican adobe church, “Unfriended” was contemporary and “The Girl” had a classic haunted house look [4].
  • The facade as in the previous version was a classic movie theatre hosting a horror movie triple feature, which were the three films you would experience in the maze [5].
  • Like the previous Blumhouse maze, we wanted to set up each section with a dimensional “title card.” For “Truth or Dare” they used invisible UV paint to make the title appear and disappear on the walls of the ruined church [6].
  • The title card for Truth or Dare was not the actual poster for the film but a visual taken from the Film (visible at 32:52).
  • Often times, they are ahead of movies when they are in production & Murdy is working off a shooting script/location photography. That was the case with “Truth or Dare.” He focused on the ruined Mexican church as the main setting for this section [7].
  • The scenic for Truth or Dare was reused from La Llorona: Villa de Almas Perdidas.
  • The Headless Living Statue is not alive in the film but they decided to make it alive as part of the experience (visible in the film at 12:06).
  • The Living Statue in the Truth or Dare section was the same one from La Llorona: Villa de Almas Perdidas. [8].
  • One thing Murdy keyed on in the script for “Truth or Dare” was the story of this nun who murdered a priest in this church. He believes this section was cut from the final film but they kept it in the maze [9].
  • The tongue cut gag was reused from Evil Dead: Book of the Dead.
  • The trigger for Carter is Olivia saying "No!" just like in the film (At 1:39:58).
  • The film “Unfriended” takes place entirely within a computer video chat session, so for the “title card” they used the images from the computer screen from the film and then featured different versions of the chat session in every scene to tie it together [10].
  • One of the challenges for “Unfriended” was how to create the threat since the antagonist “Laura Barns” is only seen in a brief glimpse for a few frames at the end of the film. It’s so quick it’s hard to see the details, so they had their concept artist draw their version [11].
  • The plan for the “Unfriended” section was to let the “kills” be the set up with Laura Barns character as the hard scare [12].
  • The actor playing Ken Smith wore a prosthetic arm piece that fitted over his own hand and was shredded to the bone [13].
  • They could have just done a static figure for Jess but they felt it would be more effective with a live actress. The trick was how to deal with the curling iron in her mouth. The solution was to sculpt it as part of the mask [14].
  • The last kill in “Unfriended” is Mitch who plunged a knife into his eye. Again this was a distraction for the Laura Barns scare and they ended this section with her popping through the video chat screen [15].
  • The projector scare for "Unfriended" was reused from the Sinister section in The Horrors of Blumhouse.
  • The story for the Girl is that the Girl from the Blumhouse logo lives inside a house and is being possessed by a Demon [16].
  • The wallpaper on the poster of the Girl was the same as the wallpaper in that section of the maze.
  • The first scene of "The Girl" literally recreates that logo sequence with the girl in the room with all the objects moving via paranormal energy (via performers off set) [17].
  • The video they shot for the Girl had Murdy playing the Demon and Allison from the Halloween Horror Nights Team playing the Girl [18].
  • The Demon had an immortal mask [19].
