We just got 110% FUNDED... Why? Because Christina Buster the McKamey Manor Super Fan decided to back us for $1,750.00 so she could travel all the way from Kuwait to once again experience McKamey Manor! I got Russ on the phone, he agreed and now Christina will be celebrating next October trying to survive McKamey Manor. $1,750.00 is the price for the HAUNTERS L.A. PARTY BUS LEVEL which includes front-of-the-line access to some of the haunts in the movie, a chance to meet the haunters and of course I will be leading the tour, sharing stories and getting us the VIP haunt treatment.... Special thanks to all of our backers and a very special shout-out to Russ McKamey and his dedicated fans of McKamey Manor. MM really has the most hardcore haunt fans of all time! Your support and passion for getting HAUNTERS The Movie made is unbelievable. 3 hours to go... Will we make one of our stretch goals? Will more people join our haunt tour? Will somebody back us at the producer level? It's getting really exciting! Thank you all so much, Jon Schnitzer - HAUNTERS The Movie Director/Producer

It took me over a year to make it happen, but this Halloween I finally filmed the "Tony Stark of Halloween" - This visionary spends most of the year inventing inventing medical devices to save lives and every year he puts on the ultimate Halloween celebration. One year he transformed every house in his neighborhood into a different world from the Star Wars universe. This year he threw an Egyptian party with a pyramid haunt, massive animatronics and live camels! Next Halloween will be his biggest celebration ever. Once I have the OK I'll announce his next theme and how you can go... for FREE! Only backers will get this secret update! Who is he? Why does he spend months creating the most ambitious Halloween party of all time? His story is heartwarming and inspiring because it's about the spirit of Halloween and I can't wait to share it with you! There's still a little time left to get your name in the credits, get a cool reward and other Kickstarter exclusives.... Even a producer credit! Only here: http://kck.st/1wNMjmm Thank you so much for making this documentary possible, Jon Schnitzer - HAUNTERS The Movie Director/Producer

We hope you had a great Veterans Day! One of the haunts in HAUNTERS The Movie is at an "Undisclosed Location in Southeast Asia." We've been given special government clearance to share EXCLUSIVE video of Soldiers going through a haunt on Halloween. You're going to love watching these Soldiers as they stop being brave, for just a moment, so they can scream, laugh and act like kids again - in a haunted house! This footage will show you just how important and how powerful haunts can be. We would like to salute all of the brave men and women of our Military and our Military Haunters who have served and who continue to serve! And we can't wait to share their unbelievable stories of haunts in top secret locations with you. HAUNTERS is now 64% funded with only 3 days to go.

Check out this beautiful time-lapse clip (22 secs) from Haunted Overload to see why we need the haunt community's help to make HAUNTERS The Movie *the* definitive haunt doc. Our vision for HAUNTERS is to include footage from as many haunts & fans as possible, to highlight the amazing breadth of creativity & the sheer number of haunts that are out there. ...If we don't make our Kickstarter goal, we'll have to cut back on this plan since reviewing/editing these kind of submissions will take a LOT of extra resources. If you love haunts as much as we do, please reserve your copy of HAUNTERS on Kickstarter today --- all the money we raise will go to making HAUNTERS even better, but only if we make our goal by Nov 15!

Three of the stars of HAUNTERS The Movie also are a part of the fantastic 'ABCs of Death 2' horror anthology! Jen and Sylvia Soska directed the T segment, which turns "torture porn" on it's head. They are also both interviewed as a part of HAUNTERS The Movie. Jonathan Snipes, who is scoring our film also did the score for the Q segment which (directed by Room 237's Rodney Ascher). You can hear Jonathan's music for Q embedded here!

Huge thanks to the Back To The Movies site for this interview with Jon Schnitzer, director of HAUNTERS The Movie!

Their article begins with a statistic: "Thirty two million people will go to a haunt this year."

That is a lot of people! If we can get just .1% of those folks to donate even just $1, we can successfully fund this film! We even bet that WAY MORE than .1% of the people who attend these haunts actually enjoy them, even LOVE them. If you are one of these people, please back the HAUNTERS The Movie kickstarter. Even if you don't have a lot to give, that is okay, every pledge truly helps. Maybe you and a group of friends went to a haunt this year and had a great time? If so, let those friends know about this film. The talented people who make and operate haunts are true artists, but no film has ever been made that treats them with the reverence and dignity they deserve. Help us change that! Help us show that world the haunts are an amazing art form!

We are filming on this fine Halloween at Nightmare On Loganberry! Here is their menacing proprietor Donald Julson! If you can make it to Lake Forest, CA tonight, you will not regret it! This is a home haunt unlike any other. DUAL mazes and a scare zone! Plus they'll have food trucks and a photo booth. It is the entire amusement park haunted package but all in a residential neighborhood. Besides, if you look scared enough, maybe we'll film YOU!!!

Jon Schnitzer has been getting called upon by radio as a haunt expert a bunch lately. So far these have all been general haunt pieces, but KPCC has done a focused interview with him though specifically about HAUNTERS The Movie! Jon talks about the variety of haunts he is covering in the film, but most importantly, the reasons why he is doing the film: That these haunters are true artists, not just quirky folks participating in Americana. 

The piece is archived at the KPCC site, along with more info as well. Check it out, and if you love haunts too, please take a moment to back our kickstarter today! Every bit helps!!!
