A Look at Eli Roth's Halloween Horror Nights Commercial: Press Release: "Universal City, CA, Orlando, FL (August 24, 2017) – This year, filmmaker Eli Roth – acclaimed director of blockbuster horror films such as Hostel and Cabin Fever – makes his commercial directorial debut with Universal Studios’ new “Halloween Horror Nights” television spot, entitled “The Mourning After.”
“Halloween Horror Nights” kicks off at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort on Friday, September 15. The commercial begins airing after the Labor Day weekend and can be seen here. A behind-the-scenes making of an extended Director’s Cut version can be viewed here.
With Roth’s creative direction and filmmaking expertise, the compelling 30-second commercial becomes one of the most cinematic, horror-film-inspired, “Halloween Horror Nights” commercials ever created. “The Mourning After” spot follows a group of friends as they attend an unusual Halloween costume party and unfolds with a series of suspenseful twists and turns that begs for more.
Viewers will see an array of hidden references woven throughout the spot that pays tribute to the horror films and television-themed mazes guests will encounter at this year’s “Halloween Horror Nights” events. These include FX’s critically-acclaimed, Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television series, “American Horror Story,” Stanley Kubrick’s psychological horror film, The Shining and the upcoming SAW: The Games of Jigsaw movie.
Roth is a long-time fan of “Halloween Horror Nights” and has previously served as a creative consultant for the event, including a Hostel-inspired maze. He said the commercial gave him the opportunity to combine a love of horror films with how those films are brought to life within “Halloween Horror Nights.”

Trick or Treat Studios' Zagone Masks: "We at Trick or Treat Studios are huge fans of classic masks and some of our favorites come from Chicago's own Zagone Studios.
Back in the 80's, Zagone Studios was known as Be Something Studios and they introduced the world to the style masks we know today as the Zagone look.
In the late 90's, Be Something Studios broke off from Franco and became Zagone Studios and, unfortunately, the Be Something Studios masks ceased to exist.
But now, thanks to a partnership between Trick or Treat Studios and Zagone Studios, the original Be Something Studios masks are back!
So make sure to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to get your hands on one of the true classics that defined the style of masks as we know today."

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
