It’s the 25th anniversary of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando, which obviously meant there was a lot of pressure to deliver something special. And deliver they did, as this year’s Horror Nights -- which opened last weekend -- is a true standout, with a ton of incredibly fun, inventive and scary mazes and scare zones.
The Orlando version of Horror Nights is notable in that it began with mazes almost entirely based around original concepts. And while they have added a lot of attractions in recent years based on popular movies, video games and TV shows, they have continued to always offer several new concepts as well each year.

At the same time, there’s also Hollywood-based mazes for The Walking Dead, Freddy Vs.
