Last year, frequent collaborators Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan teamed up for the vampire period piece Sinners, which ended up racking up a record-breaking number of Academy Award nominations – and even took home Oscar gold in a few categories, including a Best Actor win for Jordan. This year, horror fans who attend Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights events will have the chance to step into the world of Sinners via a haunted house experience.
What is Sinners about?
Directed by Ryan Coogler with Michael B. Jordan playing dual roles, Sinners has the following official synopsis: Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. “You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”
Jordan was joined in the cast by Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), Wunmi Mosaku (Loki), singer Miles Caton, Delroy Lindo (Get Shorty), Jack O’Connell (Unbroken), Omar Benson Miller (CSI: Miami), Li Jun Li (The Exorcist TV series), Yao (The Last Bout), Jayme Lawson (The Batman), Lola Kirke (Mozart in the Jungle), and musician / cinematographer Peter Dreimanis.
Coogler (who is also working on a reboot of the TV series The X-Files) produced the film with Proximity Media partners Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian. Rebecca Cho served as executive producer alongside Will Greenfield and composer Ludwig Goransson.
Sinners haunted house
Halloween Horror Nights begins August 28 at Universal Studios Orlando Resort and September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Variety reports that the Sinners haunted house will transport guests back in time to the Juke Joint where they will quickly realize that nothing is as it seems when nefarious, red-eyed vampires Remmick, Bert and Joan appear with their insatiable hunger. As they attempt to evade the vampires at every turn, fans will encounter some of their favorite characters lifted straight from the film, including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline and Cornbread. Caught in a deadly struggle between twins Smoke and Stack and the bloodthirsty vampires, guests must survive the night – because the terror will only relent once the sun rises.
Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian provided the following statement: “It’s been incredible to see audiences connect with Sinners in such a powerful way. Now, partnering with Halloween Horror Nights gives fans the chance to step even deeper into the world of the film — to feel the music, the atmosphere and the tension all around them. Watching it come to life on this scale has been really special for all of us.“
John Murdy, Executive Producer, Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Studios Hollywood added, “At Halloween Horror Nights, we push the boundaries of what a live horror experience can be. Just as Ryan Coogler’s Academy Award winning film Sinners re-invented the vampire movie, we are re-inventing the haunted house and creating new ways to scare our guests that we’ve never attempted and are thrilled to bring this amazing story to life in a truly terrifying and fully immersive way.“
Mike Aiello, Senior Director of Entertainment Creative Development at Universal Orlando Resort, had this to say: “The moment Sinners premiered, we knew it was an undeniable fit for Halloween Horror Nights and it’s an honor to bring this story to life. It’s rare for a film to fully satisfy hardcore horror fans while also inviting new audiences into the genre—and that’s exactly what Sinners does. Its world, characters and intensity will translate into a relentless haunted house. We can’t wait for our fans to step inside and experience the horror firsthand in a way that only Halloween Horror Nights can deliver.“
