In addition to the Saw maze, Magic Mountain’s Fright Fest will feature haunted mazes based on the Stranger Things, Trick ‘r Treat, Army of the Dead and Conjuring horror franchises.
The $1 billion Saw franchise is helmed by acclaimed horror filmmaker James Wan — who is also behind the Insidious and Conjuring film franchises.
The 10 Saw movies follow the bloody trail of fictional serial killer John “Jigsaw” Kramer who sets physical and psychological torture traps that he calls tests or games.
