Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort breathe new life into history’s most notorious
vampire, Vlad Tepes, the real life 13th century ruler and inspiration for Bram
Stoker’s Dracula in a terrifying new “Halloween Horror Nights” maze, “Dracula
Untold: Reign of Blood. ” Beginning, Friday, September 19, 2014, guests can
feast on this immersive preview of Universal Pictures’ upcoming epic
action-adventureDracula Untold. Starring Luke Evans, the origin story of the
man who became Dracula arrives in theaters on October 17.
“Dracula
Untold: Reign of Blood” will introduce guests to the sadistic Transylvanian
ruler Vlad Tepes, known as “Vlad the Impaler,” who infamously tortured his
enemies by impaling them alive with a wooden stake and suspending their bodies.
The foreboding maze will also shed an ominous light on the one-time hero,
turned blood-thirsty-tyrant, who chose to embrace unholy powers in order to
defeat his enemies. “Dracula Untold: Reign of Blood” will spiral guests through
Dracula’s eternal damnation, where the thirst for blood is never-ending.
“‘Everyone
thinks they know the story of ‘Dracula’,” said John Murdy, Creative Director at
Universal Studios Hollywood and Executive Producer of “Halloween Horror
Nights.” “But there is much more to the tale than just a dark figure lurking in
the shadows, drinking blood. While Dracula Untold will reveal the
origin story of the man who became Dracula, our ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ maze
will invite guests to experience the atrocities Dracula imposed on his victims
in the most frightening and immersive way possible.”
“As a huge fan of the Universal Classic Monsters, my interest is certainly
piqued any time a film explores other facets of the classic characters,” said
Michael Aiello, Director of Entertainment – Creative Development, Universal
Orlando Resort. “Dracula Untold offers a unique
perspective on the origin of the world’s most famous vampire. Our maze will
place guests within many of the pulse-pounding moments from the upcoming film,
offering guests an unprecedented living preview of the horrors that await.”
