Did You Notice “AHS: Cult” Was Filmed in the Same Neighborhood as ‘Halloween’?
“American Horror Story” goes to Haddonfield this season.
You may remember that rumors began spreading earlier this year when *something* began filming on Orange Grove Avenue in West Hollywood, the very same neighborhood where John Carpenter filmed the original Halloween.
The rumor was that it was Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween reboot that was filming, but we later learned it was actually the new season of “American Horror Story.”
Now that we’re two episodes into “American Horror Story: Cult,” it’s become clear that the whole season is something of an homage to Halloween. Main characters Ally Mayfair-Richards and Ivy Mayfair-Richards live on the street that played the role of the fictional Haddonfield, Illinois… in fact, they live inside the iconic Doyle house!
Across the street is Halloween‘s Wallace house, which also plays a role in “AHS: Cult.” Just like in Halloween, a brutal murder occurs in the house while a child is being babysat across the street; “American Horror Story” is known to pay tribute to horror classics, so we have no doubt the connection is very much intentional.
Check out both locales below, as they appeared in Halloween and as they look today.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
