The sinister Insidious demon, with wild hair and a ghostly white-painted face, snarls menacingly from behind a web-like veil, bringing spine-tingling scares to Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights.

Announced today at the Scare LA convention, Universal Studios Hollywood revealed Insidious: Into the Further as a haunted house for Halloween Horror Nights 2013. The maze will be exclusive to Hollywood’s event, beginning in September.

The world of the paranormal seen in the maze will be based on “Insidious” and “Insidious Chapter 2”, in theaters Friday, September 13th.

Fans immerse themselves in a chilling "Insidious" movie event, surrounded by red lighting and looming projector screens in a shadowy space that perfectly channels the eerie thrills of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The experience will focus on the evil spirit that has haunted the Lambert clan for two generations. Maze-goers will travel into the world of the dead to confront the malicious souls hell-bent on bringing suffering to the living.

“To bring the paranormal world of ‘Insidious’ to life, we’re collaborating with the film’s director James Wan, writer/co-star Leigh Whannell and producer Jason Blum, who all happen to be huge fans of our Halloween event,” said “Halloween Horror Nights” Creative Director John Murdy. “It’s an incredible opportunity to partner with filmmakers who share our passion for bringing nightmares of the silver screen to life and who are committed to making every scene and every nuance of the maze as authentic and unsettling as their film.”

The “Insidious: Into The Further” terror begins even before guests enter the maze, as paranormal investigators ‘Tucker’ and ‘Specs’ anxiously forewarn them about the evil that lurks within. Visitors soon learn that the pair’s caution should have been heeded, as they traverse through the most frightening scenes from both films.

“This attraction takes guests through the utter horror of both ‘Insidious’ and ‘Insidious: Chapter 2’,” said Director James Wan. “The Lipstick Demon, The Long Haired Fiend and the victims he murdered – they all come together in a perfect storm within the maze. In fact, I think this maze is the closest you can come to experiencing the kind of fear portrayed in our films, without actually living through it yourself.”

A haunting specter draped in a ragged black veil clutches a glowing candle, setting the eerie mood of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood; bold "Halloween Horror Nights" and "Insidious" logos add to the spine-tingling theme park event atmosphere.
