The film also starred Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Emma Watson, Danny McBride, and Craig Robinson, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Rogen, Franco and Hill collaborated with Universal Studios on the maze, which transports guests to Franco\u2019s movie-house, in which the actors are trapped in the film. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working with them on it for a few months,\u201d Rogen wrote on Twitter. The This Is the End maze joins a slate of previously announced Halloween Horror Nights attractions from high-profile franchises, including The Walking Dead, Crimson Peak, Insidious, and John Carpenter\u2019s Halloween. The scare-fest runs select nights from Sept. 18 through Nov. 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the End brings a new dimension of fear to Halloween Horror Nights by fusing the best of two extreme worlds \u2014 horror and comedy \u2014 to create a literal and figurative three-dimensional experiential version of the film,\u201d said John Murdy, creative director at Universal Studios Hollywood and executive producer of Horror Nights, in a news release.<\/p>\n<p>Will the maze end with a Backstreet Boys dance party? We can only hope (or pray).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"608\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-t7LdbDTunM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ew.com\/article\/2015\/08\/13\/this-is-the-end-halloween-horror-nights\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Universal Studios Hollywood is bringing some humor to this year\u2019s Halloween Horror Nights, with a new attraction inspired by the apocalypse horror comedy This Is the End.
