Leatherface and his family of cannibal crazies have taken over the condemned Blair Meats factory, bringing a new level of terror to the heart of Texas. Step inside the #1 rated maze of 2007 and come face-to-face with one of the sickest, most sadistic murderers in the history of film: the one and only Leatherface. His chainsaw will roar as you run for your life through a labyrinth of unspeakable horrors, each more terrifying than the last. You may get out alive, but it could cost you a limb.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Creative Team for Universal was angry that John Murdy made the facade for this house so big. [1]
- The maze used real chainsaws in the outdoor portions. Soon, the Creative team realized that the exhaust from the chainsaws was a big problem.[2]
- In 2007, John Murdy took Tobe Hooper (the director of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacred) through the maze. [3]
- According to John Murdy, the maze featured unique effects, including the "Chainsaw Plunge" (in which Leatherface would plunge a chainsaw into a victim's stomach), and the "Face Peel" (in which Leatherface would have peeled off a victim's face). The victim of the "Chainsaw Plunge" wore a bull riding vest backwards to protect him while the victim of the "Face Peel" wore a double facial prosthetic with magnets[4].
