Exclusive Set Visit: AITH from the set of Insidious!

[Ed. note: Our sister horror site, Arrow in the Head, was able to get an exclusive visit to the set of INSIDIOUS, the upcoming horror film from the creators of SAW (directed by James Wan from a script by Leigh Whannell) and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (produced by director Oren Peil). Here’s a little tease of their visit and you can click here to read the whole thing!

As if Downtown Los Angeles wasn’t scary enough, when I arrived there earlier this week, there was an ominous, lurking horror underneath a bright, sunny day. While it certainly wasn’t clear, the demonic forces at play, I soon found myself outside of the Herald Examiner Building. It stands as a historic landmark which was once home to the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, a newspaper founded by William Randolph Hearst in 1903. Now, it has become a place for filmmakers to create worlds that are fearsome and dark. In fact, with James Wan’s latest feature, it is home to a demon’s lair. Okay, it might not really be a demonic house of hell, but it sure looked like it deep inside thanks to the wonderful design, a hellish place of worship that I will get into later.

Once I arrived on set for INSIDIOUS (one of the possible names for the film), I was greeted by the lovely Jeanette Brill (the line producer and more). She immediately took me on set. I was thrilled to learn that James Wan and Leigh Whannell were working together on this new project. I was even more thrilled to learn that it was worlds apart from SAW. In fact, this story is very different from anything the two have ever really done before. In many ways it is a bit of a genre-bending feature that is part ghost story and part astral thriller. Astral thriller you say? Well, as James was explaining the plot to me, he had to really go into great detail and tell me what exactly was going to happen in this creep inducing thriller. The entire ride I won’t share, because it would be a shame to spoil the ghoulish goings on. But I will give you a taste of what is to come…
