Trivia[]

  • For this maze, John Murdy and co. were actually working with the sculpts and molds used for the The Thing (2011)[1].
  • This maze was more of a sneak peek to the movie since it was something guests would experience before the film came out later in theaters.
  • ADI was the special effects company that created all the practical creature effects for The Thing, and Tom & Alex from the company were kind enough to let John Murdy move his creature creator Pat Magee into their studio to use the same molds from the film. Everything in the maze was screen accurate[2].
  • On the final night of HHN 2011, John Murdy sat with his creative partner Chris on a hill above the Psycho House/Bates Motel talking about the experience of creating The Thing. Chris turned to Murdy and said "I think we can do Alien now.” That was the beginning of what would become the AVP maze[3].
  • John Murdy got to attend the red carpet premiere of The Thing (2011) due to the creation of this maze[4].
