The best nightmares never end.
Eli Roth – acclaimed director of blockbuster horror films such as Hostel and Cabin Fever – has just made his commercial directorial debut with Universal Studios’ new Halloween Horror Nights television spot, entitled “The Mourning After.”
The spot follows a group of friends as they attend an unusual Halloween costume party and unfolds with a series of suspenseful twists and turns that begs for more.
“I first got involved with ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ as a fan – I felt that I was in a horror movie and I didn’t want it to end,” said Roth. “For this spot, I wanted to pay homage to these brilliant and scary films, and yet put my own spin on it.”
The commercial begins airing after Labor Day, but it’s made its way online ahead of its premiere on television. Check out the spot below, along with a making-of video.
