Watch Chris Hardwick Experience THE WALKING DEAD Maze at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights

Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick is no stranger to discussing the living dead, but in a new video, you can watch him come face-to-face with hungry walkers in The Walking Dead maze at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights.

Press Release: Universal City, CA, October 26, 2016 – It was a killer night for AMC’s “The Walking Dead” Season 7 premiere, and in the week leading up to the suspenseful opener, “Talking Dead’s” Chris Hardwick braved Universal Studios Hollywood’s new “The Walking Dead” attraction and featured "Halloween Horror Nights" maze … and survived.

In a video tour of the new attraction, Chris Hardwick raved, “That was amazing; if you have a chance, you should absolutely come through. It doesn’t matter how emotionally prepared you are, [the walkers] are going to jump out and scare the {expletive} out of you every single time.”

For a quick and sound survival tip, he offered this, “I should have smeared walker blood on my body.”

“The Walking Dead” is Universal Studios Hollywood’s all-new daytime permanent attraction and signature maze at this year’s “Halloween Horror Nights” event. By elevating the scares with more walkers and effects than ever for the nighttime event, “The Walking Dead” attraction creates a no-holds-barred experience that significantly intensifies any other iteration previously developed within the theme park. Coupled with authentic walker make-up effects, sophisticated animatronic walkers, substantially more detailed set design and costuming, and highly recognizable props replicated from the series, the attraction delivers an uncompromised realistic environment that brings guests even further into the most-watched show in cable television history.
