Evil Dead 2: Dead by DawnEscape Room players will be able to enter that all-too-familiar cabin in the woods and they will have until dawn (or 60 minutes, whichever comes first) to find theKandarian daggerand destroy the book of the dead before the evil dead swallow their souls. Fans of the classic horror comedy can expect Deadites, chainsaws, a very strange deer head, a chained-up cellar door, and plenty of horrifying surprises. That pretty much sounds like the ultimate way to kill 60 minutes.

Universal Studios offers up horror mazes for their annualHalloween Horror Nights, but Hourglass Escapes promises that this will be a much different affair. TheEvil Dead 2: Dead by DawnEscape Room players will play in active role in trying to escape, instead of cruising through a maze that has one way to go. Hourglass Escapes co-founder and creative director Seth Wolfson had this to say about the new escape room.

“Every part of the design phase we stop and ask if this fits into theEvil Dead 2universe. We want this to be a greatEvil Dead 2experience and a well-respected escape room on its own merit… It’s an honor to be the first team ever entrusted with creating anescape roomout of my all-time favorite horror film. It’s a dream come true.”

Speaking of Halloween Horror Nights, Seth Wolfson used to be ananimatronic artistfor Universal Studios Orlando and he has done wax work with Ripley’s Believe It or Not.Evil Dead 2: Dead by DawnEscape Room seems like a lot of love a care is going into making it the best that it can be. With that being said, horror fans from all over the country will probably start booking trips out to Seattle to get in on theEvil Dead 2fun.
