Universal's Halloween Gets Horrifying

Lady Luck has seen better days in a new promo for Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights. The director for the haunted house, scarezone, and live show extravaganza delivers a message about the new attractions for this year's event. Halloween experts have crafted scenes from the works of Edgar Allan Poe, "The Thing", and more. Your luck begins to run out on September 23, but you have until October 31 to pay your debt. Dig into the teaser trailer for more haunted shenanigans.

There is another Amityville movie on its way, but this one will be different. Shattered Hopes: The True Story of the Amityville Murders will be a docudrama about the tragedy that happened to the Defeo family. The film asks the question did Ronald “Butch” Defeo really take a rifle and kill his whole family? Shattered Hopes: The True Story of the Amityville Murders is written, directed and produced by Ryan Katzenbach, narrated by Edward Anser and stars Jon Huybrecht, Jon Southwell, Susannah Hart Jones. The docudrama is based on the book “The Night the Defeo’s Died” by Ric Osuna. Additional research, interviews with medical examiners, investigators and additional material will be shown in the film.

It’s a tad ridiculous at the sheer number of Amityville films shooting or prepping right now. Hell, I can’t even keep track on which I’m posting or have posted! And it’s time to add another. This one, despite my silly news title, actually sounds neat. Most films have focused on the Lutz family, but Ryan Katzenbach’s new film, Shattered Hopes – The True Story of the Amityville Murders, is a docudrama concerning the tragedy that befell the Defeo family.

Narrated by Edward Asner and starring Jon Huybrecht, Jon Southwell, Susannah Hart Jones, and a host of real life medical examiners and investigators, Shattered Hopes – The True Story of the Amityville Murders is looking to prove that truth can be way more terrifying than fiction. Cool.
