Another Trailer for the Horror ARG ‘Night Terrors’
Night Terrors is the supernatural horror alternate reality game (ARG) I wrote about last month that uses your phone to transform your home into a haunted house. Or, it will do that if it’s successfully funded on Indiegogo, where it’s managed to raise just over half of its $70,000 goal. With only eight days left in its campaign, it’s going to take a substantial push from the horror-loving community if we’re going to help get it made.
I clearly think this is a fantastic idea, but my job is to share potentially awesome things with you, not to sell them, so I’ll leave that to this spooky new trailer.
Developer Novum Analytics has an awesome idea on their hands that should appeal to anyone who spent their childhood imagining there were ghosts and various other spooky things that only you could see. I watched a lot of horror movies as a kid, so I did this often. I was also lucky enough to have friends who were as weird as I was, so hunting fake ghosts — fauxsts? — quickly became a group activity for us.
If Night Terrors reaches its funding goal, you’re all invited to my place for a night of paranormal investigations, pizza and scary movies. And yes, footie pajamas are mandatory.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
