Mayhem Will Reign at This Year’s Halloween Horror Nights with ‘The First Purge’

Published

The First Purge Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights

Bear witness to the beginning of the New Founding Fathers of America. The First Purge will bring chaos to this year’s Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. As The Purge makes its return to Horror Nights, this all-new scare maze will put guests smack dab in the middle of the controversial social experiment.

This polarizing entry to The Purge franchise shows audiences how the infamous 12- hour event began. Maze goers will be able to participate in the first ever-social experiment put together by the NFFA.

Be warned: the streets of Staten Island are littered with gangs and masked vigilantes. It is up to the innocent to make it out alive and outsmart the madness that is The First Purge. 

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood brings together the sickest minds in horror to immerse guests in a living, breathing, three-dimensional world of terror,” states the Press Release.

“Featuring an all-new slate of unrivaled film production quality mazes, frightful scare zones and a fully re-imagined “Terror Tram” experience uniquely themed to today’s most definitive horror properties, Halloween Horror Nights will taunt, terrorize and torment guests with spine-chilling haunted attractions as part of Southern California’s most extreme Halloween experience.”

The First Purge takes a strong position as the most politically driven entry to the already socially-charged franchise. In the past, the use of patriotism was at the center of Halloween Horror Nights’ Purge mazes. American flags were painted everywhere, at times with blood, mimicking the satire used in the films. It will be interesting to see if and how Halloween Horror Nights would highlight the newest film’s bold topics of race, class, and power.

The First Purge joins three other mazes announced so far for Halloween Horror Nights: Stranger Things, Trick ‘R Treat, and Slaughter Sinema. Fan favorite Chucky will return with his horde of killer toys as a scare zone. The cult classic, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, will also have its own zone of scares and fun.

If you’re counting down the days, just note that some mazes will only be available at certain Universal Studios locations.

Until then, we will have to suffice with the new Purge TV Series premiering on Syfy and USA Network September 4. The First Purge is out now in theaters.

Shudder Promises: “Goopy practical effects…and LOTS of blood” in Upcoming Movie

Published

on

Shudder has been hitting out of the park with new horror releases lately. Now comes word that they will release the horror/comedy Destroy All Neighbors on their streaming platform starting January 12. The movie is helmed by music video director Josh Forbes. It stars Jonah Ray Rodrigues (Mystery Science Theater 3000), and Alex Winter, Ted, of Bill & Ted Fame.

There is no trailer for the movie yet, but Shudder explains that Rodrigues plays William, “a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad (Alex Winter). Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla. Destroy All Neighbors is a twisted splatter-comedy about a deranged journey of self-discovery full of goopy practical FX, a well-known ensemble cast, and LOTS of blood.”

Destroy All Neighbors will premiere on Shudder on January 12.

Well, The Game Awards didn’t disappoint by bringing Hideo Kojima’s latest project OD out to tease. While the trailer didn’t focus on any gameplay at all, it did give us some motion capture of Udo Kier Sophia Ellis, and Hunter Schafer.

The short trailer focuses on close-ups of the actors; each of whom is reciting a haunting lines from a memorable text. Following the little video, Kojima came out on stage to share his excitement about the game. That wasn’t all though!

Arkane Studios and Marvel Reveal Rad Trailer for Blade

Published

on

Kojima

One of the biggest and most exciting moments from last night’s Game Awards was the unveiling of Arcane’s latest game, Blade! That’s right, y’all. Marvel is getting together with Arkane Studios in order to tell the tale of the Daywalker.

Blade

Arkane has been responsible for some of our favorite games over the last few years. They are responsible for Deathloop and Dishonored just to name a couple. So, the idea of a Blade game is very exciting. Mainly because we have seen what Arkane does with their special powers and perks in game. So, we already can’t wait to see the powers they unleash with Blade.

Not much is known at the moment other than the game will be a third-person experience that takes place in Paris.

The synopsis for Blade goes like this:

In Marvel’s Blade, Eric Brooks is the legendary Daywalker, half-man, half-vampire torn between the warm society of the living and the rushing power of the undead. From Bethesda and Arkane Lyon, the studio that brought you Dishonored and “DEATHLOOP”, Marvel’s Blade is a mature, single-player, third-person game set in the heart of Paris, now in development in collaboration with Marvel Games.

We are already dying to see what Arkane and Bethesda does with Blade. It will undoubtedly be a huge and memorable experience. Marvel has been doing a great job of carefully brining their games to life. If you haven’t played Guardians of the Galaxy, please do. It is a singular experience that goes beyond the game films and gives us an all-new experience in the Guardians tales. We are sure that Arkane will give us another amazing Marvel chapter when Blade is released.

There isn’t any word on when Blade is going to be released. But, we will be sure to keep you updated as soon as we hear more.
