Horror director Eli Roth is going to scare the SHIZ out of everybody who visits Universal Studios in Hollywood this October, because he's been offered the opportunity to create a maze based on his 2005 torture-porn-horror-flick Hostel.

The maze will be called Hostel: Hunting Season, and it will be one of the main attractions at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. Here's what Eli had to say about it:

"Creating a maze for Halloween Horror Nights is a horror fan's dream come true. I've been visiting Halloween Horror Nights for years, and still remember the heart-pounding terror of going through the mazes for the first time."

Along with the Hostel attraction, Universal will also be featuring a maze based on the upcoming The Thing prequel.
 
On a slightly related note...

I like to think of myself as a guy who can look after himself, not a nutter or anything, but you know, a big-ish guy, who will look after himself if put in a situation.

But when it comes to rollercoasters, I'm a complete wimp!


I went to Thorpe Park with a couple of mates few years back, and threw up all over my clothes after going on one, I had to buy a t-shirt from the gift shop, as mine stunk :(

I nearly backed out at one point, until I noticed all the kids about ten or eleven years old behind me in the line for the ride, I just couldn't face the walk of shame, so I went through with it.

Closed my eyes for 90% of it.

That said, I still find roller coasters really interesting, and sometimes find myself watching clips on Youtube, some of the American roller coasters look absolutely fantastic.
