John Murdy keeps tweeting about the development of Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights 2014:
I’ve converted my office into the “war room” for potential maze properties…now to booby trap the door to keep the looky loos away!

- There WERE 34 “potential maze concepts” on the board for 2014…2 have been eliminated. To quote Black Flag, “the process of weeding out”
January 15:
- Here’s more updates on HHN 2014, met with more “film folk” today…upcoming horror film that has maze potential. Next step. Read script
- On Friday I’m taking a “deeper dive” into a property I’m pretty sure we’re going to feature in 2014…gotta go through thousands of photos
- Next week going to screen an upcoming film, see if it has maze potential…probably wrap up all potential partner meetings end of Jan
- While I’m looking at lots of upcoming films, also looking into other horror properties…that u don’t have to read a script for. Hint hint

- Just went through 38,000 pics today doing research for a horror movie we’re considering…my eyes are gonna fall out of my head! The horror!
- So today I did my fast pass at a potential maze lineup for 2014, have 3 scenarios depending how the deal making goes…getting closer.
- We’ve narrowed mazes down to what we call the “Short List” Started with 40 options, that’s down to about a 10 now, who will make the cut?
- Haven’t decided which mazes to pursue yet, if you have one u really want, tell me why it would make a great maze? I might be swayed….
