Lupita Nyong’o reprises her role in Us at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights 2019

Lupita Nyong’o in front of the 'Us' maze at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood

Lupita Nyong’o, the star of Jordan Peele’s Us surprised guests on Saturday, October 26, when the Academy Award® winning actress reprised her role as Red within the popular Us maze at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights.

The actress donned her character’s recognizable red jumpsuit and fingerless leather gloves as she reenacted her critically-acclaimed role as Red, baiting the many unsuspecting guests entering the infamous classroom scene, artfully recreated from the film….and the results were diabolical.

But Nyong’o didn’t just dish out the fear during her visit, the actress, along with her family, also experienced the terror of the Us maze first-hand, coming face to face with the doppelgängers she portrayed in the movie. Watch the Us actress make her way through the maze as a guest and then frighten Halloween Horror Nights guests as Red in the video below:


Tickets are still available for remaining “Halloween Horror Nights” dates: October 30-31 and November 1-3 and can be purchased at Hollywood.HalloweenHorrorNights.com.
