"Us" is the perfect setting for a Universal Halloween Horror Nights house. The movie is filled with creepy locations such as the labyrinth of tunnels, the Wilson's family cabin and of course the eerie fun house on the Santa Cruz boardwalk.

You'll follow in the footsteps of Adelaide Wilson. Things begin in 1986 when as a child she encounters Red, her "Tethered" doppelgänger. Next, you'll head deep into the Fun House and be "transported" to the modern day where "The Tethered" are emerging to murder their "privileged upperworld counterparts".

The blockbuster movie was created by Academy Award winning filmmaker Jordan Peele. Speaking of his anticipation for seeing "Us" translated into a HHN maze, Peele said:

"It's very exciting to know that fans of Us will get to experience firsthand the terror of being stalked and tormented by ‘The Tethered.’ It’s been a lifelong ambition of mine to create a monster that would scare people on Halloween, so having ‘The Tethered’ join such esteemed company is a dream come true,”

"Us" is the 8th house to be revealed for Universal Orlando Resort and the 7th for Universal Studios Hollywood, but there's still even more surprises to come.
