Poltergeist comes to life at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights
 

MGM's Supernatural cult horror film Poltergeist comes to life for the first time ever in all new haunted mazes at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights.

They're Here. Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood will bring guests "into the light" as part of this year's Halloween Horror Nights events featuring terrifying new mazes inspired by Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures' (MGM) iconic supernatural horror film, Poltergeist, beginning 14th September.

Directed by Tobe Hooper and produced by Steven Spielberg, Poltergeist garnered critical and consumer success when it first premiered in 1982. Characterized as one of the scariest films of all time, this groundbreaking movie paved the way for a new era of supernatural ghost stories that will come to life for the first time ever at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights. This living representation of the film will take guests into some of its most iconic scenes and encounter memorable characters that spawned their first true nightmares.

The mazes will lure guests to the Freeling family house built atop a cemetery where malicious ghosts threaten the lives within. From the underground graveyard to ghostly apparitions, guests will come face to face with infamous scenes from the film including the iconic flickering TV screen, menacing Beast from beyond and pool filled with floating corpses. As guests cross into the 'light,' they will find themselves surrounded by a surreal landscape of vanishing walls, floating furniture and a creepy clown with a menacing smile. In a rush against time, guests will be forced to make it back to the world of the living or forever be trapped…

Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights is the ultimate Halloween event. For more than 25 years, guests from around the world have visited Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and Orlando to become victims inside their own horror film. Multiple movie-quality mazes based on iconic horror television shows, films and original stories come to life season after season. And, the streets of each coast’s event are transformed into highly-themed scare zones where menacing scare-actors lunge from every darkened corner.

I still have nightmares about this film having watched too young as a child.

Some mornings I wake up and here whistling outside the window and imagine Kane outside...
