Zak Bagans to Open The Haunted Museum in Vegas

Published

on

Having the strange and perverse on display for everyone to see isn’t a new concept. From side shows to the Warrens collecting the haunted objects of their clients to John Zaffis doing the same, it’s a practice done for a long time. What IS new is Zak Bagans and his new haunted Vegas venture.

You may know Zak Bagans as the lead investigator from the Travel Channel’s show Ghost Adventures. Always one for the dramatic, this popped up in Las Vegas.

Zak Bagans began his jaunt into haunted items with his show Deadly Possessions, which also aired on The Travel Channel. There he would sit in a room with the owner of a haunted object and the object itself and hear the stories of the afflicted.

For the museum, Bagans purchased the Wengert House, built in 1938 by Cyril Wengert. The museum will break the house into 30 rooms of oddities and haunted objects. iHorror found out in December that Bagans had purchased Michael Jackson’s make up chair that he passed away in to put on display.

You can read more about that here.

There’s no telling what else may end up on display at The Haunted Museum. If he is willing to pay $15,000.00 for a chair, the possibilities seem limitless. Word has it, Ed Gein’s cauldron made a home there as well. It would seem many of the artifacts from Deadly Possessions may have made it into the museum itself.

According to the press release from Dread Central:

“Zak Bagans is fulfilling a lifelong dream of opening a museum in downtown Las Vegas, full of the haunted, cursed objects he has been collecting through the years.”

They even dedicated an entire Ghost Adventures episode (season 12 episode 13) to investigating his new property due to issues with new staff leaving. The Haunted Museum’s website isn’t up and running yet but their online shop is.

No word is available on the exact opening date. One thing is for sure, when they do open, iHorror will be back with a first-hand experience on how haunted The Haunted Museum actually is.

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.
