The maze is titled “H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular,” according to a post on Universal Orlando’s Horror Nights X account.
“Tune into a curated selection of H.R. Bloodengutz’s Halloween favorites in this haunted house complete with ghouls, gore and all the frights that keep you coming back for more,” the post reads without further elaboration.
The Bloodengutz character was originally seen in a holiday-themed house at Horror Nights in 2011. The character’s “real” name is Larry Kurtzberg, who becomes a late-night TV horror show host in Carey, Ohio. Bloodengutz also made appearances in a house in 2021 and at Universal Horror Unleashed, the year-round haunted attraction the company opened in Las Vegas last year.
