SAW: The Games of Jigsaw Haunts Halloween Horror Nights

The cruel craftsman of the SAW series is back with a new malicious maze.

I'd like to play a game...

The successful SAW horror franchise has been a recurring part of Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights for a decade now, and this year it returns with an all-new original maze - to be featured at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort, beginning September 15th.

“SAW: The Games of Jigsaw,” based on the Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures sinister screen saga, will bring you face to face with your greatest fears as maze-goers will encounter the wicked work of the movies' malicious mastermind, along with a collection of his most infamous traps from the SAW film series - and upcoming eighth installment JIGSAW!

JIGSAW -- written by Josh Stolberg & Peter Goldfinger and directed by The Spierig Brothers -- is scheduled to hit theatres on October 27th, in its traditional opening weekend slot leading into Halloween.

As mentioned, SAW: The Games of Jigsaw will appear at both Universal theme parks, but that's not the case for all the horror properties headed to Halloween Horror Nights this year. Check out the slideshows below to see what terrors await you at the two U.S. locations.

Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” is the ultimate Halloween event. For more than 20 years, guests from around the world have visited Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and Orlando to become victims inside their own horror film. The streets of each coast’s event are transformed into highly-themed scare zones where menacing “scare-actors” lunge from every darkened corner. Multiple movie-quality haunted houses are erected throughout the event, based on everything from iconic slasher films to hit horror television series to haunting original stories.
