A group of unknowing participants make their way through a labyrinth guarded by some of the scariest characters of Hollywood\u2019s most recent horror classics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1988, after the greater success of the attraction, Monsters&amp;Monsters was founded, in partnership with Javier Ruiz de Az\u00faa, to further develop and market this new concept in entertainment. As a result, a new <strong>Pasaje del Terror<\/strong> opened in Bilbao (Spain), the first of many to come worldwide. Over 20 millions visitors and more than 30 jam-packed seasons can attest to the grand success of this unforgettable show.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Later, in 1991, OMEN (Orlando Monster Enterprise) was created in the U.S. in association with the Scala Restaurant\/Show Group. This led to the grand opening of <strong>Terror on Church Street<\/strong> in Orlando, Florida. This 22,000 square feet spin-off of the old Pasaje del Terror proved to be yet another hit among the public.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_third-52c89597409f646e66e7cc675a5d9b4a av_one_third  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_one_third  flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-d5223be598d564588039b0ef6b77e8db\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-d5223be598d564588039b0ef6b77e8db img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-d5223be598d564588039b0ef6b77e8db .av-caption-image-overlay-bg{\nopacity:0.4;\nbackground-color:#444444;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-d5223be598d564588039b0ef6b77e8db .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-d5223be598d564588039b0ef6b77e8db av-styling- avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 pop-up avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-6  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  noHover av-overlay-on-hover'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay\"><div class=\"av-caption-image-overlay-bg\"><\/div><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-position\"><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-center\"><p>Terror On Church Street<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-12346 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-12346 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.mpe-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Terror-on-Church-Street.jpg\" alt='' title='Terror-on-Church-Street'  height=\"306\" width=\"400\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mpe-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Terror-on-Church-Street.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mpe-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Terror-on-Church-Street-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_third-2a9015ff38129c418a3f2eafba3e9512 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-195934e936b1acc034be2682e05a64ed\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-195934e936b1acc034be2682e05a64ed img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-195934e936b1acc034be2682e05a64ed .av-caption-image-overlay-bg{\nopacity:0.4;\nbackground-color:#444444;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-195934e936b1acc034be2682e05a64ed .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-195934e936b1acc034be2682e05a64ed av-styling- avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 pop-up avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-8  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  noHover av-overlay-on-hover'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay\"><div class=\"av-caption-image-overlay-bg\"><\/div><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-position\"><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-center\"><p>Logo de Hollywood Cars<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-12152 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-12152 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.mpe-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Potada-logo-Hollywood-Cars-495x400.jpg\" alt='' title='Potada-logo-Hollywood-Cars'  height=\"400\" width=\"495\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_two_third-52c89597409f646e66e7cc675a5d9b4a av_two_third  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_half  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1993, it created and developed the exhibition\/show <strong>Hollywood Cars<\/strong> for the investment group PASADE.
