Legendary And YouTube Spaces Announce The ‘House of Horrors: A Legendary Halloween Initiative’

Well this sounds incredible.

Legendary Entertainment YouTube Spaces, and Guillermo Del Toro have just announced an amazing collaboration called the YouTube Space House of Horrors: A Legendary Halloween Initiative.

The initiative will allow YouTube creators in Los Angeles, London, Tokyo and New York to create original videos on terrifying cinematic sets inspired by Guillermo del Toro as part of a special global programming event on YouTube. Here’s all the info straight from the release:

From September 22 – October 28, 2014, YouTube creators will write, shoot and edit their scariest videos at the YouTube Spaces. As well as appearing on individual creator channels, all content will appear on the YouTube Spaces channel, the official Legendary YouTube channel and promoted through social media platforms. Videos are slated to go live between October 21 and Halloween.

 

In celebration of his return to horror with the upcoming Crimson Peak, master of ceremonies, Guillermo del Toro, will select his scariest videos to come out of each region and provide a personal rough-cut creative consultation with the creators.

One lucky talent will even be offered a development deal from Legendary Entertainment, which is an absolutely mind-blowing opportunity. Want to see the sets? Here is some concept art:

The Guillermo del Toro-inspired sets vary by Space but may include a Great Room from an old manor house lined with walls of books, a sinister staircase and Gothic windows that lead out to a haunted garden; a room filled with exotic & occult artifacts from around the world; an abandoned Solarium cluttered with over-grown plants, birdcages and weathered tools; a claustrophobic Attic with foreboding art, dusty mirrors and a hidden trap door.

Here’s some further info, straight from the man himself:

It’s an amazing opportunity, and I really, really can’t wait to see what comes of it.
