8 Ways for Horror Junkies to Survive Until Halloween

Published

on

The period from August until Halloween feels like it should be called “The Long Hallowait.” Summer is winding down, and the season of mischief looms on the horizon. Oh, yes, friends. Horror movies, the brisk autumn air, rustling leaves, and jack-o-lanterns will soon be upon us.

Since many of your brains may have already switched into Halloween mode, we’ve come up with a list of ways to help you survive until the spookiest night of the year finally arrives!

1. Start Reading a Horror Novel

Readers may want to pick up those copies of IT that have been lurking patiently on their bookshelves (or Kindle) when Halloween is just days away. However, if you don’t finish those lengthy horror novels before October ends, then you may lose interest when your attention turns to the warm, fuzzy season of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Start reading those Stephen King novels now, and finish them right around Halloween to enhance the experience. If you think a book that’s several hundred pages long sounds too daunting, then why not try some short horror stories instead?

2. Prep an Awesome Halloween Costume

Store bought costumes are cheap looking, ridiculously expensive, and never the standout at a party. However, the best homemade costumes are usually quite time consuming to put together, which we often realize when we’re scrambling right before a party. Instead of trying to throw together a last-minute outfit, now is a good time to begin prepping one mind-blowing, creepy ensemble for that costume contest. Imagine how long it took Hellraiser’s Pinhead to get all those needles just right!

3. Take a Spooky Fall Trip

If you’re looking for a change of pace from the typical Halloween parties and handing out candy, why not make everyone jealous with a trip this fall? Maybe book your own cabin in the woods for a fun, spooky weekend filled with horror movies and campfires, take a tour of a famous haunted location, or attend a big Halloween celebration, such as Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios! Tickets are currently available for the 2018 season at Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando!

4. Binge a Horror TV Series

A horror TV series is a great way to get in the spirit of All Hallows’ Eve, but even the most dedicated binger would have trouble breezing through all the great shows the week of Halloween. Now would be a perfect time to catch up on or rewatch the plethora of horror series like American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, Stranger Things, Penny Dreadful, The Terror, and Castle Rock!

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.
