WELCOME TO THE GATES OF MADNESS!
Once a place of healing, the Holloway Institute for the Mentally Insane was abandoned decades ago after unspeakable tragedies. But this Halloween, its doors will open again, not for treatment… but for terror.
What begins as a small-town haunted attraction quickly spirals into something far more sinister when the actors portraying the asylum’s most infamous patients begin to change. Whispers in the halls grow louder. Shadows take shape. And the horror inside refuses to stay locked away.
Starring:
Dean Cain, Julie McCullough, Eddie McClintock, Denny Nolan,
Richard Grieco, and Kevin Sorbo.
Dare to enter… but remember — some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
THE STORY
In the small town of Brookhaven, a long-abandoned psychiatric hospital looms over the edge of the woods, a decaying monument to decades of cruelty, tragedy, and whispered legends. Now, under the guise of a “harmless” Halloween attraction, the asylum is set to reopen for one night only—promising jump scares, actors in costume, and spooky fun for families. But behind the façade, the event’s shadowy organizer, Mr. Black, has far darker intentions.
Charlie, a local tattoo artist with a personal vendetta against the asylum’s history, begins to suspect that the five actors hired for the event aren’t just playing their roles they’re becoming them. Each is being possessed by the restless spirits of the asylum’s most notorious former patients, driven by rage, madness, and unfinished bloodlust.
As a shared nightmare spreads among the town’s residents, a small group of unlikely allies; Charlie, a skeptical reporter, an ex-cop, a psychic medium, and other locals band together to stop Mr. Black before midnight, when the crowd will be largest and the evil will be unleashed into the world. Their only hope lies in breaking the spirits’ connection to the living by destroying the cursed scripts the actors first read, in the very spot where possession began.
Part supernatural thriller, part claustrophobic horror, The Asylum is a pulse-pounding descent into paranoia, folklore, and the thin line between performance and possession where the final curtain call might mean the end of the town itself.
Production of THE ASYLUM is scheduled to start production in October 2025 in Bridgeport, WV. Learn how you can GET INVOLVED!
