Visitors to the Universal Studios theme parks in Hollywood and Orlando will be treated to a dose of horror with Jordan Peele's compliments. The director's 2019 hit Us will be one of the featured themes for the park's annual "Halloween Horror Nights" event.
It looks like Us will serve as the inspiration for the event's maze, with visitors exploring a labyrinthine recreation of the movie's underground location (it's not clear if the maze itself will actually be underground). There, they'll be "stalked and tormented" by actors portraying the movie's Tethered doppelgangers.
Here's how Universal describes the attraction (spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen Us):
The journey begins circa 1986 as guests follow in the footsteps of the young girl they first meet as Adelaide Wilson as she innocently ventures through a mirror funhouse at the Santa Cruz boardwalk and has a fateful and traumatic encounter with her tethered doppelgänger, an event that will forever alter both of their lives. The harrowing experience will then transition to present day, thrusting guests into the chaos of “The Tethered” uprising as they emerge from their tunnels to murder their privileged doubles in a nationwide coordinated act of rebellion.
“Halloween Horror Nights” begins Friday, September 6 in Orlando and on Friday, September 13 in Hollywood.
