‘The Evil Within’ Haunted Maze Opens Next Month
Bethesda has announced an incredibly exciting collaboration with Warner Bros. Movie World that will give fans the opportunity to experience the horrors of Shinji Mikami’s upcoming survival horror game The Evil Within in the flesh with a special maze inspired by it. The maze is one of several haunted attractions in their annual Fright Nights event that’s scheduled to kick off next month on Australia’s Gold Coast.
If you’re unable to make the trip but are planning on attending EB Expo in Sydney (Oct 3-5), there will be a “teaser version” of the maze at Bethesda’s booth along with a demo for The Evil Within.
Unfortunately, while there are theme parks here in the States that host Fright Nights events, this attraction has only been confirmed for Australia.
I never thought I’d say it, but I’m intensely jealous of our Aussie readers right now. I mean, as cool as this is it doesn’t come close to making up for the ridiculously inflated prices of new releases ($80) or their awful video games classification board that’s banned Manhunt, State of Decay, Silent Hill: Homecoming and freaking Dark Sector (seriously, Australia? Dark Sector?).
It’s still a win. More than that, this is something our Aussie friends can use to take their mind off the time when a dingo ate their baby while they were busy putting shrimps on the barbie.
The Evil Within hits PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
