"The most definitive movie about the haunt industry... made me proud to be a haunter." - John Murdy [Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, Creative Director]
On the eve of Halloween-proper, we give you this invigorating documentary, looking at a tradition us here at the HorrorFest has been contemplating since its inception, but never executed (after this, we're more keen to do so than ever! - so watch this space)
This enlightening and thrilling documentary takes the viewer through the haunt industry of the USA. From small home-based haunted houses, to large high tech experiences, from cheap thrills to real soul scarring traumatic experiences.

Does free will exist?
A glass in free fall. Have you ever thought if it is possible to calculate into how many pieces it can shatter? After numerous experiments, a team of researchers succeeds in doing just this apparently impossible task.
Attracted to their experiment, a mysterious professor invites the scientists to his isolated mansion to learn more about their studies. However, when they arrive, they are not greeted by their host, but are faced with a strange model of the mansion, in which their actions are incredibly reflected, set to lead to their doom.
The researchers will soon understand that they are involved in a new experiment, in which they’ll have to play a very different role than usual: that of the glass in free fall.

ABOUT THE SOUTH AFRICAN HORRORFEST
In 2004 Paul Blom and Sonja Ruppersberg decided to rectify the issue of the absence of a dedicated Horror event in South Africa.
The first S.A. HorrorFest (then also known as the Horror Festacular) launched in 2005.
Besides being a Horror / Chiller / Thriller film festival (screening feature films and short films from around the world),
from the start it made a point of expanding into a broad Halloween event by incorporating
new live soundtrack performances to classic silent films by The Makabra Ensemble,
the Bloody Parchment literary chapter, Halloween dress-up competition, a night market and more.
