 Click Here to “Further” Experience the Horror that Awaits, Beginning Friday, September 15

There haven’t been too many movie franchises that have scared me more than Insidious. I remember seeing an early showing of the first film while I was still at UCLA. It was the first movie in a long time that actually made me throw my hands up to my face to cover my eyes in fear. It left a mark on me and my impression of modern horror films changed. With every subsequent film in the series, it continues to haunts millions of people’s nightmares with its creative monsters, scares, overall dark atmosphere. It is truly the work of master storytellers Leigh Whannell and James Wan. After hearing that Insidious was making its return to Halloween Horror Nights, my palms immediately got clammy and my heart rate rose. I know that when they first had Insidious at the event, I was beyond nervous (just ask Nikki!) and to know it is coming back only furthers (haha get it…further)my anxious feelings. But, with the amazing craftsmanship that goes into these attractions, I can only hope I stop screaming for moments so I can stop to admire the amazing work that is going into it. Below are the details on what to expect for Insidious: Beyond the Further.

Beginning Friday, September 15, paranormal activity grips “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios Hollywood in the all-new disturbing maze, “Insidious: Beyond the Further,” inspired Universal Pictures and Sony Pictures’ Stage 6 Films upcoming supernatural thriller, Insidious: Chapter 4.

The creepy new maze will delve deep into brilliant parapsychologist Dr. Elise Rainier’s past, starting with a childhood in which her paranormal abilities emerged…until her mother’s untimely death by a demonic entity.  Troubled by a lifetime of evil supernatural spirits trapped in the Further—a vacuous netherworld caught between the living and the dead—Dr. Rainier will take guests on an unsettling journey back in time through a portal into the Further…to defy the most depraved and intimidating beings that have tormented her since the 1950s.

Opening in theatres nationwide on Friday, January 5, 2018, Insidious: Chapter 4 is a Blumhouse Production, Oren Peli Production distributed by Universal Pictures domestically and Sony Pictures’ Stage 6 Films internationally.  Directed by series newcomer Adam Robitel, the supernatural thriller is written by co-creator Leigh Whannell and produced by Insidious series regulars Jason Blum, Oren Peli and co-creator James Wan. The film stars Lin Shaye as Dr. Rainier, who faces her most fearsome and personal haunting yet: in her own family home.
