‘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.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
