8 Ways for Horror Junkies to Survive Until Halloween

Published

5. Get a Jump on Planning Your Halloween Party

Standing in a goofy costume silently sipping your drink at a lame Halloween party is a special kind of hell. It’s even worse when you’re the devil who hosted it. Allow yourself time to organize a night of fun, terrifying festivities that guests can get excited for, and start planning your celebration early so people can mark it on their calendars. The devil is in the details.

6. Listen to Creepy Horror Podcasts

Working on your computer or driving home on a foggy night dreaming about black cats and witches? Turn on a horror podcast like the Lore Podcast or The NoSleep Podcast for some chilling tales to hold you over until October 31st. Be sure to also catch up on the Lore TV series on Amazon, which has the second season premiering on October 19th!

7. Start Stocking Up on Halloween Candy

Many stores are already stocking Halloween essentials, and that includes candy. You’ll likely find a lot of candy aisles will already be raided if you wait until the last minute to buy it. If you have tremendous willpower, you could always stock up early before the prices are inflated, and the candy is all picked through. Better yet, even if you eat it all before the big night, you have plenty of time to go back for more.

8. Watch Some Scary Short Films

We all love breaking out the feature-length horror classics for our Halloween marathons every year. But if you want to save Trick ‘r Treat for Halloween night, there is an endless selection of free short horror films online just waiting to be discovered! Everything from paranormal, to slashers, to animated horror shorts. There are even Halloween themed shorts, such as Is That You by The Witching Season!

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.
