Halloween Horror Nights 2011: an Alice Cooper maze
Even in the Bay Area, we await Halloween. It never seems too early to talk about it.
Personally, I never enjoyed “rushing” the seasons. Especially with fall weather being great for the beaches.
Universal Studio’s Halloween Horror Nights 2011 will feature an Alice Cooper Haunted Maze this year – a deviation from its usual horror movie theme. The Alice Cooper maze will feature music from his 1975 concept album, “Welcome to my Nightmare.” Concept art of the Alice Cooper maze is here. Features of the maze include: black widow spiders, boa constrictor snakes, a hangman’s gallows, guillotine decapitations, and electrocutions inside an insane asylum. Scareactors in the “Steven section” of the maze include a naughty nurse holding defibrillator paddles, an Alice look-alike, and a chainsaw-wielding madman who is spattered with blood.
The spider section of the maze contains images and lyrics from Cooper’s 2008 album, “Along Came a Spider.” Another maze scene includes a man-child who terrorizes visitors in a toy-strewn room to music from Cooper’s 1973 release “Billion Dollar Babies.” The soundtrack of the maze will feature a mash-up of songs from Cooper’s albums, including 1971’s “Killer,” 1983’s “DaDa,” as well as a dash of his biggest hit single, “School’s Out.”
The Alice Cooper maze is located in the Jurassic Park ride queue and will run at Universal Studios Hollywood on Sept. 23, 24, 30 and Oct. 1, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31. Wooooo Hoooooo! The maze starts at the abandoned home of the fictional character Steven from several Alice Cooper albums. The maze will feature several songs from “Welcome to my Nightmare,” including: “Steven,” “The Black Widow,” The Awakening,” and “Years Ago.”
If the Alice Cooper maze is not enough for you, Halloween Horror Nights 2011 will include five other haunted mazes based on “The Thing,” “The Wolfman,” “Hostel” and “House of 1,000 Corpses” films as well as the La Llorona folk legend.
