ScareLA: Halloween Horror Nights will be Christmas with The Devil!

Published

on

Halloween Horror Nights is one of the most famous and highest budgeted haunted house attractions in the world. Year after year, providing the biggest scare houses based off some of the greatest icons of horror. And this year is shaping up to have an interesting and unique theme: Christmas With The Devil!

Yes, for once, it looks like Christmas will be stepping into Halloween’s turf rather than the other way around. At Scare LA, creative director John Murdy and art director Chris Williams gave a preview of the holly jolly hell that was yet to come!

For starters, Saint Nicholas’ shadow, The Krampus. Star of  a very popular holiday horror/comedy last year from Trick r Treat scribe, Michael Dougherty, the punisher of naughty children has seen a resurgent amount of popularity for a dark spirit of German folklore. Now, he and his minions will be getting their very own house at HHN complete with evil elves, terrifying toys, and berserk gingerbread men – all taken from the film. And keep an eye out for twitter codes to get vintage Krampus postcards like past houses such as Hostel.

The flagship of this year’s houses could also prove the most unique with The Exorcist. A property that the duo have been trying to use for over a decade. Both John Murdy and Chris Williams came from heavily religious Catholic backgrounds, and needless to say, found the film to be one of the most terrifying ever made. But it begs the question; how do you make an entire haunted house around a film that didn’t have too many locations? Though they didn’t give a full answer, they did allude to the notorious and downright terrifying banned trailer of The Exorcist for clues and focused on the more infamous scenes of the film. Watch out for pea soup!

While the next house announcement won’t be for another couple weeks, John and Chris did drop one major bombshell for HHN 2016. The Purge: Election Year wouldn’t just be a scarezone this year, but an all encompassing ‘Mega Scarezone’ larger than any before it. And though named for the latest entry in the political horror franchise, they noted that it would include characters and icons from previous entries in the series as well. Along with wholly original figures for the event, ranging from “Chainsaw Delegates” to a stilted and menacing Uncle Sam.

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.
