Rob Zombie‘s annual Halloween horror event returns this year with ‘Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare‘ set for a September 25th-November 01st run at the Odeum Expo Center in Villa Park, IL. Zombie himself will be performing concerts at the October 02nd and 04th dates and commented on its return:
“I am thrilled to be bringing The Great American Nightmare back to the Chicago area for its second year. After last year’s overwhelming response we’ve decided to return with a completely new Nightmare. It’s more vile and disgusting than ever. Have fun.”
The main attractions will celebrate Zombie‘s various movies, including his upcoming horror film “31“. Here’s what was offered of them:
“Captain Spaulding’s Clown School In 3D: This irreverent school of pure terror is a hallucinogenic trip through the mind of Captain Spaulding (House Of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects). Startle after startle will thoroughly frighten even the bravest patrons, who won’t know if they should be laughing, screaming or crying.
The Devil’s Rejects: The murderous, backwoods Firefly family takes to the road to escape a vengeful police force that isn’t afraid of being as ruthless as its target. Guests will become part of the state troopers’ search and destroy mission against the Firefly family, who are wanted for over 75 homicides and disappearances.
31: On October 30, 1975, five carnival workers are kidnapped and held hostage until the following night (Halloween), and are put in a compound named “Murder World.” They’re told that they are there to take part in a game named “31,” where the goal is to survive the next 12 hours. This is made difficult by the fact that they are not alone in “Murder World” — a violent gang of evil clowns are there and stalking their every move.”
