Freddy, Jason and Leatherface all make their return to Halloween Horror Nights alongside their demented doll friend, Chucky, who hosts this year's Titans of Terror Tram through the Universal Studios backlot. There are more gruesome and heart-pounding mazes than ever before, including Saw, Insidious, Ash vs. Evil Dead, American Horror Story: Roanoke and “The Horrors of Blumhouse” featuring The Purge, Sinister and the upcoming Happy Death Day. However, perhaps the most inspired choice for a maze in the history of Halloween Horror Nights makes its debut this year. Based on Stanley Kubrick's psychological haunted-hotel film The Shining, guests make their way through the isolated Overlook Hotel as caretaker Jack Torrance and all of the hotel's previous inhabitants come out to play.
