jedimaster1227 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 http://greatamericannightmare.com/ Groundbreaking musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie will unleash his Great American Nightmare on Los Angeles this Halloween season. This bone-chilling yet exhilarating once-in-a-lifetime event experience will combine the most advanced haunted house attractions with a not-to-be-missed music festival from top artists in rock, EDM, and more, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from October 10 through November 2, 2013 at the Fairplex FEARplex in Pomona, CA, just outside Los Angeles. A creative collaboration between masters of the macabre Rob Zombie and preeminent haunted house producter Steve Kopelman, the fully immersive haunted house experience will feature three attractions based on Zombie's own horror films: Lords of Salem in Total Black Out, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto 3D, and Haunt of 1,000 Corpses. The shocking--and sometimes disturbing--fright attractions will offer a three-dimensional experience with animatronics and effects, a maze that is the ultimate definition of claustrophobia and fear, sudden chills and startling thrills, and salacious humor that will make one scream with fright and laughter. As if these sinister attractions weren't enough, Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare will also feature 15 nights of music from top national and regional artists in the indie/punk, EDM, metal, rock and Latin genres including Andrew WK, BL3ND, Blood On The Dance Floor, Dirtyloud, Doctor P, Emilie Autumn, Fei Fei, Evol Intent, GWAR, Kottonmouth Kings and Twiztid, Metalachi, Ozomatli, Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger, Terravita, The Used, Whitechapel, Zomboy, and many more. One night will also feature wrestling sensations Lucha Libre USA. Look for details about the music performance schedule--including additional major headlining acts--to be announced on June 29 and visit http://www.GreatAmericanNightmare.com for details. The FEARplex for Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare--presented by Monster Energy--will include 150,000 square feet of horror and entertainment and is not geared towards young children or the faint of heart. Patrons should be prepared for maximum scares! At Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare, patrons will sequentially enter three different attractions, each completely different in look, theme and effects: Lords of Salem in Total Black Out: This harrowing attraction--based on Zombie's 2012 The Lords of Salem independent horror film--is designed to twist the mind. It will accentuate some senses while limiting others. Fear of the dark, claustrophobia, and fear of the unknown will be preyed on as the visitor attempts to traverse this sixty-degree maze. The Haunted World of El Superbeasto 3D: Utilizing Chromadepth glasses, this innovative attraction will take the patron right into the middle of the irreverent world of Rob Zombie's El Superbeasto 2009 animated exploitation musical horror comedy film based on the comic book series of the same name. The attraction's unique surprise entrance, brilliant colors, sudden chills and startling thrills, and salacious humor will make one scream with fright and laughter. Haunt of 1,000 Corpses: This terrifying attraction pays homage to the 10-year anniversary of the exploitation horror film House of 1,000 Corpses, directed by Rob Zombie. This extreme, traditional haunted house will take visitors on a walking journey through a recreation of the film's "Museum of Monsters & Madmen" along with an expanded "Murder Ride," confronting notorious serial killers along the way. This high impact, highly detailed attraction will use state of the art animatronics, video effects, costuming, soundm scents and lights. Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare is produced by Rob Zombie, Steve Kopelman and Andy Gould, along with event music producers Kevin Lyman and John Reese. "Having produced haunted attractions for over 30 years, I have never been more excited about a project than I am with The Great American Nightmare. To produce an event with partners like Rob Zombie, Kevin Lyman, John Reese and Andy Gould is a dream come true. This no-holds-barred first year event is destined to change the haunted house landscape for years to come and I am ecstatic to be a part of it," says Nightmare producer Steve Kopelman. The Great American Nightmare Monster Midway will offer outdoor screenings of classic horror films, a DJ, food vendors, beer, wine and spirits, and much more, with freak show characters roaming throughout the grounds each night. Nightmare music co-prodcer Kevin Lyman admits, "Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare is going to be so terrifying, you won't catch me in any of the three haunted houses! For those of you who are scaredy cats like me, there will be plenty of other attractions that are guaranteed to entertain, including a special concert each night." "Great American Nightmare is one of the most exciting projects I have ever been associated with," says Nightmare music co-producer John Reese. "The opportunity to work with the genius that is Rob Zombie is awe inspiring. This is set up to be one of the CAN'T MISS EVENTS OF THE YEAR!"

Jew Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Rob Zombie+Haunted Houses+Goldfinger+Reel Big Fish=SOLD! Only thing I am worried about is that the Fearplex mazes sucked in the past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sounds like a great event, as if there wasn't enough great haunts to do in LA during Halloween. I'm a tourist and I managed to do six haunts in LA last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberBeavis Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah, Fearplex last year we felt bad for the talent. Instead of Universal's piped in smells, they had mazes in the actual animal pen area... WATCH WHERE YOU STEP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'm going, so thanks for the tip. Love the band line-ups, very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Might be worth it just for The Haunted World of El Superbeasto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Wanted to go the night Rob Zombie is playing but I think that's the only night I'm going to be able to do Knott's. Plus I'm sure that will be the busiest night anyway. Will hopefully be able to go another night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'd go to this if I lived close. The lineup of bands is pretty bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Idiot God Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 KMK, Twiztid, and Blaze? Yeah, have fun dealing with all the juggalos that will show up. Housecore Horror Film Festival is going to be lightyears above this, and this is coming from someone who HATES Phil Anselmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
