In an actually haunted building?’ Oh my god,” Prendes said. The filmmaker had plenty of help from his 10-year-old son, Remy, who designed the maze alongside his dad. “We already have the canvas of the house and we were just adding stuff to it.

Reyerson is known for being one of the writers who worked on the screenplay for the 1939 MGM version of “Wizard of Oz.”The Prendes’s maze winds deep into the creaky house, including an upstairs room with a haunted piano and an ‘art room’ filled with creepy drawings by Remy and a conspicuously placed corpse.“We’re a big Halloween family.
