WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 126.5 – The Elvis Room
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!

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
