Some of film's most iconic horror movies will be brought to life this Halloween at Universal Orlando.

On Friday (September 15), five new scare zones were unveiled at the park, filled with menacing characters that will prowl around as guests explore.

These terrifying zones are just a few of the many attractions that are featured at the park for Halloween.

Each year, the resort in Florida is transformed for a spooky season and this time, it's running for a record-breaking 34 select nights until Monday November 4.

There are some other additions to the park alongside the scare zones including nine new immersive haunted houses based on everything from iconic horror films and popular TV shows to disturbing original stories.

Themed attractions include FX’s "American Horror Story," AMC’s "The Walking Dead,” and critically-acclaimed films “The Exorcist,” “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” “Halloween II” and “Krampus.”

For the first time ever, the psychological horror film The Shining has been transformed into a maze so fans of the movie can relive some of its most iconic, and sinister, moments.

FX’s critically-acclaimed, Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television series American Horror Story will again come to life for a second consecutive year in a new maze.

There will also be two live shows for those looking to escape the mayhem of the park, including a performance from Academy Of Villains as they present 'Afterlife'.
