The Evil Within to headline Warner Bros. Movie World Fright Nights

With ‘Fright Nights’ at Warner Bros. Movie World set to enter their sixth year, entertainment at the Gold Coast theme park this October will feature an experience based on the new survival horror game The Evil Within™ as its signature night time event.

‘Fright Nights’ are an annual after dark event held at Movie World throughout October featuring nightmarish mazes, entertainment precincts and themed food and beverage options as well as the parks signature rides and attractions.

A new creative partnership Village Roadshow Theme Parks (VRTP) and Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax® Media company, ahead of the highly anticipated release of The Evil Within from legendary director, Shinji Mikami and the talented team at Tango Gameworks, will see Movie World introduce The Evil Within to their signature Fright Nights  in a theme park first.

Using The Evil Within as inspiration, Movie World is creating a maze that includes real-life characters from the game roaming around the pathways, described as “a test of nerves for anyone brave enough to enter.” 

Warner Bros. Movie World Brand Manager Selena Lawson said the relationship will pave the way for the biggest and best ‘Fright Nights’ event yet. 

Lawson explained “with the introduction of The Evil Within, for the first time we can create a maze dedicated to bringing the gaming world to life.

“We are ecstatic to be partnering with such a highly-acclaimed interactive entertainment software company.”

ZeniMax Australia Managing Director Simon Alty adds “we are excited to be working with this world class theme park operator.

“We can’t wait for people to both play the game and live the real-world experience this October.” 

Movie World Fright Nights will be on selected nights during September and October.

The Evil Within releases for Xbox One® and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment systems from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, and Windows PC on 16th October 2014.
