Storyline

Beneath the fake blood and cheap masks of countless haunted house attractions across the country, there are whispers of truly terrifying alternatives. Looking to find an authentic, blood-curdling good fright for Halloween, five friends set off on a road trip in an RV to track down these underground Haunts. Just when their search seems to reach a dead end, strange and disturbing things start happening and it becomes clear that the Haunt has come to them...

Trivia

At one point on the road someone asks: 'has a zombie ever fired a gun in the history of cinema?'. Mike replies "no", but the truth is George Romero incorporated at least two instances of gun-toting zombies in his films: The first was 'Day of the Dead' (1985) where the now-famous zombie Bub is the first zombie to ever hold and fire a gun. The second instance was 'Land of the Dead' (2005), where there are multiple zombies using an assortment of firearms.

Goofs

The characters state that in no point in film history has a zombie fired a gun. In George Romero's Land of the Dead, a zombie does indeed fire a gun. Also, there is an entire film dedicated to this - Fast Zombies with Guns (2009). If the characters were the horror fans they claim to be, they would have known that.

User Reviews

very annoying and confusing experience, there's no plot,

This movie was recommended by one of my favorite youtuber reviewers but I really really regret watching this and wish I never bothered. I got annoyed by it. the movie is not even really a movie, it feels like a reality tv documentary but with a lot of stuff missing. they go from place to place but nothing really flows or makes sense. the characters interview people and i was actually much more interesting and i was more engaged in the interviews to the people and their haunts that i was in watching the "plot" of this movie

I kinda wish this was just a regular documentary on haunted houses. because at least that would have been interesting.
