The maze is littered with snakes, clowns, and other things to give people a good scare. There are dead ends and even slots so someone can reach out and grab maze runners unexpectedly.
"We try to find the things that people are particularly afraid of, the common phobias, and exploit them," Stewart told SPACEStv.
