Mary Talks “The Thing: Assimilation”

This past Tuesday, Mary attended the Halloween Horror Nights preview night and in an interview with the OC Register, talked about how closely “The Thing: Assimilation” maze looked a lot like the actual film set:

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who stars in “The Thing,” says the maze based on the movie freaked her out a bit during one of the preview nights.

“They did such a good job,” she says. “I’ve never been to Halloween Horror Nights before so I didn’t know what to expect, but just to see the level of how far they go with it and how they recreated the sets from the film exactly and the monsters, aliens and creatures exactly, it’s like you’re living through the film. It took me back, certain parts of the maze, I was like ‘Am I on set, where am I’?”

“The Thing” Premiere Date

Some of you have been wondering, and now we have the info. According to Variety, “The Thing” premiere date will be held on October 10 at Universal Studios in CA where Mary attended the HHN preview night and visited The Thing: Assimilation haunted house.

In that regard, “The Thing” maze — which replicates the film’s Norwegian camp, where a group of researchers find themselves infected by an alien creature that can transform itself into an exact replica of any living being — will also be used for an upcoming press junket for the pic and for the afterparty of the film’s Oct. 10 premiere.

How exciting!
