Item: The Horror May Be Real When You Attend ‘HELL FEST’

Got a nice new Red Band trailer for the Gale Ann Hurd produced amusement park slasher throwback HELL FEST and it looks like they are hell-bent on delivering the goods. Before we get to the video coolness – a little background. HELL FEST plans on telling us the following gruesome little tale: “A masked serial killer turns a horror-themed amusement park into his own personal playground, terrorizing a group of friends while the rest of the patrons believe that it is all part of the show. College student Natalie (Forsyth) is visiting her childhood best friend Brooke (Edwards) and her roommate Taylor (Taylor-Klaus). If it was any other time of year these three and their boyfriends might be heading to a concert or bar, but it is Halloween which means that like everyone else they will be bound for HELL FEST — a sprawling labyrinth of rides, games, and mazes that travels the country and happens to be in town. Every year thousands follow Hell Fest to experience fear at the ghoulish carnival of nightmares.

But for one visitor, Hell Fest is not the attraction — it is a hunting ground. An opportunity to slay in plain view of a gawking audience too caught up in the terrifyingly fun atmosphere to recognize the horrific reality playing out before their eyes. As the body count and frenzied excitement of the crowds continue to rise, he turns his masked face to Natalie, Brooke, Taylor and their boyfriends who will fight to survive the night.”

I’m sure you noticed that sweet little cameo from Tony Todd – the film stars Bex Taylor-Klaus, Amy Forsyth, and Reign Edwards.

Now – it’s trailer time!

CBS Films releases this bad boy on Sept. 28th – keep an eye!
