Here is the second film in our three part World of Death Halloween special. Fantasia Film Festival favorite The Elvis Room stars Bailey Noble (True Blood, Martyrs US), Spencer Locke (Insidious: The Last Key), Keir Gilchrist (It Follows), and Corbin Bernsen (Major League, American Gods) and is the perfect fit for the blood-soaked weekend. Be sure to tune in Monday for Sundance alum Dawn of the Deaf and ring in the holiday right!

Also check out the original novella by Stephen Graham Jones HERE as well as the incredible film score by Jon Natchez, of The War on Drugs HERE.

Happy Halloween Friends and Neighbors! The spirits are alive with us all this season. Speaking of alive, have you seen Elvis lately? He may have been gone for sometime, but someone has been in his room… Oh those urban legends just slay me!

This takes us to our feature of the day. We get to experience a special fright in THE ELVIS ROOM by Andrew Schwarz. When a pair of friends (Bailey Noble and Spencer Locke) enter a hotel for the night, one is far more intent on getting the party started than the other. What could go wrong with taking a little extra medication for the road? Nothing to fear, unless the ramblings of an old traveling salesman (Corbin Bernsen) turn out to be true. Paranoia and dread fill this short as much as the star powered cameos. The Director takes us on a scary trip through a horror hotel that rivals any set in the same ominous space. The cinematography is spot on for the feel of this horror gem. The lighting, music and dutch angles are used so perfectly, you forget that this is a film and really get pulled into the scene. The spirits haunting our heroines’ visit strike fear into the heart of anyone who has considered the history that surrounds those old buildings. Sometimes friends check out, but they never leave. I don’t want to spoil things for you, but I can tell you this, just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you!

Sleep well friends, put the “Do not disturb” sign on your door and whatever you do, don’t make a mess for your housekeeper. Lay some plastic down on the floor, just in case. We have more World of Death for you every week! Until next time, enjoy the room service!
