Trailer: Killer Clown Craze Film ‘Behind the Sightings’ Debuts This October!

Published

Written by Patti Pauley

Stephen King’s IT, Crepitus, Clowntergeist, and now Behind the Sightings. I think it may be safe to say if you suffer from Coulrophobia- just stay away from the movie theater in 2017.

 

 

Last year’s killer clown epidemic that swept through the United States and Englund had people legitimately afraid to leave their homes as pranksters and disturbed individuals painted themselves into walking nightmares and paved the streets armed, some armed with weapons, in a sick attempt to scare the living shit out of people. While demented yes, gotta give credit- they sure as hell succeeded in inducing real fear and anxiety into the minds of citizens nationwide. Now, almost a year later a documentary/ found footage style horror film is coming based on the clown craze of 2016.

Presented by Tommy V Films, the independent film studio swiped up the rights to release this psychologically scarring thriller faster than you can utter Pennywise and has set is pointing the way for an October release this year.

Behind the Sightings comes from executive producer Tommy Vlahopoulos and director Tony H. Cadwell and is based on 112 hours of footage recovered from Todd and Jessica Smith, two filmmakers from Raleigh in North Carolina who set out to make a documentary on the clown sightings and scares of Summer 2016. However, what they discover is a lot more fucked up than any Bozo the Clown walking down the pavement yelling BOO at you.

Reported by Deadline, Tommy Vlahopoulos and Tony Cadwell, whose aim is to market Blair Witch style, had this to say about the upcoming horror film,

“Clowns have traditionally been associated with slapstick style performance, comedy or mime. But there has always been a dark side to a clown. This is not fake news. ‘Behind the Sightings’ is centered around the terrifying clown sightings that shook the world last year, and an eager couple (Todd and Jessica) swept up in all the phenomenon. This is a very newsworthy subject, especially with all the continuous clown sightings.”

 

In the present world of the internets, I think it may be a heavy task in convincing people this film is an actual real-time documentary. The Blair Witch Project was a one-trick pony; Fool me once, shame on you type of deal.  But hey I’m thinking, hell I’m convinced, it’s going to fool some regardless. Either way, Behind the Sightings looks to be a good one! Check out the trailer below and look for this at your local theater in October 2017.

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.
