    Universal’s creative team is working with the filmmakers to fill the intense and relentless Sinners haunted houses with all the characters, music, atmosphere and tension of the movie.

    Movie characters making appearances in the maze will include blues musician Sammie Moore, Louisiana Creole hoodoo conjurer Annie, white-passing Black woman Mary, mysterious and magnetic dancer Pearline, club bouncer Cornbread and vampires Remmick, Bert and Joan.
