Acrostic poems do have a very strong connection with religion and crosses, so even if it is just acrostic you might be on to something. It's not Lords of Salem though. Lords of Salem had a tiny box office ($1,157,566 with a 1.5 million budget, meaning it's not even close to making a profit) and even then the movie would not work as a maze.

Riffing more on the poem Elizabeth...there's of course Countess Bathory. Gothic/vampire/old tymey maze?

.2? Interesting. Normally the second would be called 4.1...but this is 4.2. If 1 gets skipped over but 2 matters...well that's what would happen with an American Horror Story maze. Since season 1 had little to offer but season 2 does. Edgar Allan Poe wrote an acrostic poem entitled Elizabeth. Elizabeth Short was a character in American Horror Story season one. On top of that, Edgar Allan Poe was from Massachusetts, where Briarcliff is located. Also, Elizabeth Arden is a fake name with "Arden" in it. Arthur Arden is another fake name. Elizabeth Arden's real name was Florence Nightingale Graham, Arthur Arden's character was a doctor. That's one theory at least. Here's the poem if anyone wants a shot at it. Elizabeth it is in vain you say "Love not"—thou sayest it in so sweet a way: In vain those words from thee or L. E. L. Zantippe's talents had enforced so well: Ah! if that language from thy heart arise, Breathe it less gently forth—and veil thine eyes. Endymion, recollect, when Luna tied To cure his love—was cured of all beside— His folly—pride—and passion—for he died

His hair kind of reminds me of Andy Warhol, who pioneered the silk screen, silk is silverish at times...silver screams!

Resident Evil makes more sense, I take back my Phantom theory. To add to it, Resident Evil has a lot of spiders. The album cover is "Along Came a Spider." The song titles could easily be connected to Resident Evil as well.

Alright, way behind, but here's some speculation that may suggest an Alice Cooper maze. Or Phantom of the Opera. Christine is the name of the female lead in Phantom of the Opera. Live at Montreux is the name of a live Alice Cooper dvd/album, where the band opens up with the Phantom of the Opera theme. Stéphanie Montreux (surname!) played Christine in a production of Phantom of the Opera. The Cooper eye clue might have something to do with The Phantom. "What they do, what you hear is the basis of what they are" What they do is the basis of what they are=The mob at the end of the Lon Chaney movie? What you hear=the reference to music and the movie being silent? " Don't rock the boat and you can see if you truly are a star" That's the Phantom on a boat. The idea of fame/being a star is present all around in the various telling of the stories. Also, the candles in the scene. Candles=light sources=stars.

Well I do like petting dog tummies.

Alice Cooper is a Hollywood maze...like La Llorona. The Album (Along Comes a Spider) has "Killed By Love" and "I'm Hungry" as songs. La Llorona killed the people she loved in the name of getting somebody to love her, and in the Hollywood maze she eats children. "What they do, what you hear is the basis of what they are." La Llorona is a way of telling kids what to do. If you don't behave La Llorona is gonna get you etc. You hear the sound of her weeping, which defines her. " Don't rock the boat and you can see if you truly are a star." Don't rock the boat=again referring to behavior. Star=Sun=Son.

The Italian title for Silence of the Lambs is Il Silenzio Degli Innocenti. Silence of the Innocent. Since the LL guesses have already been thrown out there...in American Horror Story there's a lot of innocent people who are silenced from talking to the outside world. The House of Cards is called La Voce Del Silenzio (The Sound of Silence.) An odd little girl...Cindy Caine?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudyard_Kipling Or maybe it's something deeper. Having it that easily connected to war would be a bit obvious. Or not. Either way, here's the entire poem. To the legion of the lost ones, to the cohort of the damned, To my brethren in their sorrow overseas, Sings a gentleman of England cleanly bred, machinely crammed, And a trooper of the Empress, if you please. Yea, a trooper of the forces who has run his own six horses, And faith he went the pace and went it blind, And the world was more than kin while he held the ready tin, But to-day the Sergeant's something less than kind. We're poor little lambs who've lost our way, Baa! Baa! Baa! We're little black sheep who've gone astray, Baa—aa—aa! Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree, Damned from here to Eternity, God ha' mercy on such as we, Baa! Yah! Bah! Oh, it's sweet to sweat through stables, sweet to empty kitchen slops, And it's sweet to hear the tales the troopers tell, To dance with blowzy housemaids at the regimental hops And thrash the cad who says you waltz too well. Yes, it makes you cock-a-hoop to be "Rider" to your troop, And branded with a blasted worsted spur, When you envy, O how keenly, one poor Tommy being cleanly Who blacks your boots and sometimes calls you "Sir". If the home we never write to, and the oaths we never keep, And all we know most distant and most dear, Across the snoring barrack-room return to break our sleep, Can you blame us if we soak ourselves in beer? When the drunken comrade mutters and the great guard-lantern gutters And the horror of our fall is written plain, Every secret, self-revealing on the aching white-washed ceiling, Do you wonder that we drug ourselves from pain? We have done with Hope and Honour, we are lost to Love and Truth, We are dropping down the ladder rung by rung, And the measure of our torment is the measure of our youth. God help us, for we knew the worst too young! Our shame is clean repentance for the crime that brought the sentence, Our pride it is to know no spur of pride, And the Curse of Reuben holds us till an alien turf enfolds us And we die, and none can tell Them where we died. We're poor little lambs who've lost our way, Baa! Baa! Baa! We're little black sheep who've gone astray, Baa—aa—aa! Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree, Damned from here to Eternity, God ha' mercy on such as we, Baa! Yah! Bah! A lot more going on in that poem aside from "war." The stuff about "The Damned" and "Alien Turf" stand out to me.

The band Silencio was named after the nightclub in Mulholland Drive. Something that may be relevant is the "Hollywood is Hell" sign nearby Silencio. Also, the location. Oh, hey. It's in Paris. American Werewolf in Paris/London.

Yeah...especially trying to connect it to a dud like Dead Silence. Also, the nightclub line of logic could be something inspired by Hostel. I don't think a licensed Hostel maze would make sense, but something inspired by it could. In the vein of RUN: Hostile Territory.

La Llorona seems a bit obvious...maybe too obvious though. But maybe not? 1. Obviously there's a Spanish connection. 2. The video is in the dark, and La Llorona hunts at night 3. Once you hear her voice break the silence, it's over. --- Something to do with Silence of the Lambs? --- There's Club Silencio from Mulholland Drive. Which is a real nightclub now in Paris. The beautiful facade from Alice Cooper GTH was inspired by a Paris nightclub. Or it could be another club based maze. Or just something to do with vampires? Then again, the sign near Club Silencio says "HOLLYWOOD IS HELL." The Alice Cooper connection seems to be there. But there's also the TWD connection. Jimmy has already used the Dawn of the Dead=room in Hell=zombies connection for TWD, so that could be a joke that since Hell (Hollywood) is full some of the zombies are coming to Orlando? Again...Mulholland Drive-Cowboy-TWD. A lot of these hints are leading to David Lynch...

Jimmy, you are a very stylish man...I love that shirt.

If the show has screaming goats I'll travel from LA.

Last year's subtitle for TWD directly referred to "death-filled space" from the series.

Nuns wear black and white. There's also an interracial marriage in the show.

On paper, Ebony and Ivory is about a piano. Piano is used in a lot of Alice Cooper songs. A musician being a hint for a musician might be a bit on the nose though. The song was released in 1982...as was Poltergeist. The movie "Pieces" stood out to me as a possible hint. It prominently features a chainsaw. There's that song Higher Ground, which makes me think of The Walking Dead. You know...surviving...you gotta head to higher ground. There's also one of his songs "That Girl" which could be La Llorona, Carrie, or a returning icon. Ebony and Ivory are the name of weapons in Devil May Cry. Not that we're going to see a house of that, but maybe a hint of a theme. Wonder, Nevada is a ghost town. Could be Legendary Truth. But it's probably TWD.

They could pull a Project Evilution and have half car half human scareactors. It would be a nice tie in with Transformers.

That too. It wouldn't work as a straight forward maze, but as a hint to the theme of an original maze it sounds cool.

The character "Christine" in the Bad Seed was played by Blair Brown. Here's a few off the cuff speculations from there... Blair could = Linda Blair. Blair was also in a movie called "Loverboy" directed by Kevin Bacon. Not sure what to make of that, but it could be something. The plot of Bad Seed could be seen as a mirror image of La Llorona? The plot reminds me a lot of The Omen... Blair was also in that show Fringe, which could relate to Legendary Truth.

I know that his cryptic comments are a bit on the nose, but saying that Christine represents Christine is just silly. Especially since it also requires Balloons to stand for It.

Eraser was a Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Arnold was in a Tales from the Crypt episode. It could also be Alice Cooper Goes to Hell since he played Mr. Freeze...Hell freezing over etc. Arnold Schwarzenegger's speaking agency is The Harry Walker Agency. The for Eraser also did The Mask...which could suggest Bloodyface. --- In Maximum Ride, werewolves are called Erasers. Could be American Werewolf in London. --- There's the band Erasure who has an album named Cowboy, could be The Walking Dead.

Kamala Lopez was in I Heart Huckabees (2004) with Richard Jenkins (I) was in The Cabin in the Woods (2011) with Sigourney Weaver http://oracleofbacon.org/movielinks.php

Well there's the obvious Bake/Six Degres/Bacon hint.
