Literally” podcast last month.Bacon said he bought the “turn of the century” rural farm in 1983 to buy a horse with an ex-girlfriend.He bought up plots around his property every few years to keep the area private.The “Mystic River” actor said the previous owner, who he didn’t name, “went back and forth on it for a while” about Bacon buying the plot with the exclusion of the building.“Eventually, I said, ‘Listen, you can’t sell me a piece of land but not sell me the house that’s on it. Like, that’s just weird,” Bacon said.After much persistence from Bacon, the land owner revealed his horrifying reason for hesitating to sell the plot to the actor.“He said, ‘I can’t sell it to you because it’s haunted, and I’m afraid that you’ll get possessed and, you know, do some serious damage,'” the “Apollo 13” star recalled.Bacon and the owner later came to an agreement but under one condition.

TerrorVision,” the show is the team’s second horror endeavor together, their first being NYC’s largest haunted house last year, a hellscape called “Bedlam” they created at 42nd Street’s former “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” space — for which they sold 20,000 tickets.Munro and McGeoch — both longtime runners of Six Flags’ Fright Fest and haunt community members — assure fans they’ve been once again working tirelessly to ensure that this year’s haunted house will also terrify all those who dare enter.At the same time, they’re also holding space for the fainter of heart, and thus offer fear-tiered tickets: General admission, for “the standard level of scary, heart-pounding fun;” Ultimate Terror for those who’d like to ensure they’re “targeted throughout the experience” by its 140 actors; and a Chicken Ticket option, which comes with a special amulet “to become ‘invisible’ to the monsters.” (The wuss and fear-monger tickets cost $59 while general admission starts at $50 — or $39 and $49 respectively while early bird tickets last.) Patrons of Horrorwood Studios will enjoy “three haunted houses for one price,” explained TerrorVision executive producer Dalton Dale, a horror world veteran who has sold $100 million worth of tickets to more than 21 shows over the course of two decades.AdvertisementEach haunted house is more or less an act within a triple-act narrative in which, without spoiling anything, the star of a TV show is incapacitated, the audience must fill in to play the part and then attempt to escape ending up on the cutting room floor.“Definitely bring a change of underwear,” said Dale. Tickets are currently available most days through Nov.

TikTok video from the spooky — and just-sold — Rhode Island home that inspired the 2013 horror film “The Conjuring” has gone viral for showing how those pesky spirits can get in the way.Madison Heinzen, the daughter of the home’s former owners who works at the property leading tours and selling merchandise, has some 1.3 million followers on the app and shows them exactly how quotidian tasks can quickly go wrong there.The 9-second clip, which got 1.1 million likes and more than 7 million views since it was posted in June, shows her doing work in one of the bedrooms when a Raggedy Ann doll — perched upright in a chair across the room with nothing else around it — suddenly topples over. The footage is recorded from a security camera feed — and as the doll slumps, she seems to take a few steps back in shock.“Me going to talk to the ghosts inside the Conjuring House,” she wrote on the video.“Starting praying NOW,” wrote one commenter in reply, while another said, “Oh how I fear living near that house.However, the bulk of replies in the video came from nay-sayers — who mentioned in their own comments that the fall wasn’t the work of ghosts, but that of gravity.
