‘The Barn’ – A Wonderful Throwback To 80s’ Horror!

Published

“Trick-Or-Treat Smell My Feet!”

From the very beginning introduction “Nevermore Production Films” logo, The Barn is an excellent callback to 80s horror and the first few minutes of the film alone is a loyal devotion to the Halloween holiday. The film is set in the year 1989, and Justin M. Seaman along with his team did an extraordinary job of keeping true to the era, the film looks as though it was shot a few decades ago. Everything about this movie screams to an era that I grew up in, and it was unbelievable. Adding to the magical nostalgia of the film are appearances by Linnea Quigley (Night of the Demons) and Ari Lehman (Jason Voorhees from Friday The 13th). As a bonus, the score was composed by Rocky Gray, and it was an impressive puzzle piece to movie’s existence. The songs on the soundtrack include “Mr. Cool,” I immediately recognized from Full Moon’s Bad Channels back in 1992.

Even with a limited budget, The Barn delivers some impressive death sequences that will make your head turn in disgust. Throats are cut open, heads are crushed, and people are stabbed, everything is done physically in front of the camera, no CGI to disappoint the moviegoers. The design of the demons was unbelievably imaginative and creepy, to say the least. Justin M. Seaman created not only a story that was interesting, but a story that showed off is knowledge and passion for 80s horror.

Before viewing The Barn I was deeply concerned that I was going to be faced with a parody, I assure you this is no parody, and I am thankful for that.Quick-Witted and full of fun, The Barn is more than just another low-budget horror film, and will not be forgotten, in fact, this will be a film traditionally watched by many during the Halloween season. The Barn is a must see, you won’t be sorry!

This scene is for sure a throwback to Halloween III – Season of The Witch.

 

On Halloween 1989, best friends Sam and Josh (Mitchell Musolino and Will Stout) are trying to enjoy their last “Devil’s Night” before graduating high school. Trouble soon arises when the two pals and a group of friends (Lexi Dripps, Cortland Woodard, Nikki Darling and Nickolaus Joshua) take a detour on their way to a rock concert, finding an old abandoned barn and aweking the evil inside…The Boogeyman, Hallowed Jack and The Candycorn Scarecrow. Now it’s up to Sam and Josh to find a way to protect their friends and defeat the creatures that lurk within The Barn.

Fortunately, The Barn is available in DVD format and the extra features kick some serious ass!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?
