The new maze will be based on the original film trilogy: “Hellraiser,” “Hellbound: Hellraiser II” and “Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth.”
Legendary horror writer and filmmaker Clive Barker created the Hellraiser film franchise based on his novella, “The Hellbound Heart.”
The Hellraiser maze will take Horror Nights visitors into the twisted world of Pinhead and the Cenobites where desire, suffering and the unknown collide.
The maze begins in the Lament Configuration puzzle box that opens a gateway to another dimension filled with ritualistic torture.

Concept art for the haunted house shows the Hellraiser characters Chatterer, Butterball and the Female Cenobite.
