In the Spotlight: Fede Alvarez
Linking the cinematic universe with the world of amusement parks, Director Fede Alvarez pushes the boundary of experiential entertainment. He's no stranger to the world of horror, making his mark with gritty reimagining such as Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. His latest venture, however, catapults Alvarez into theme park territory, where thrill-seekers will encounter Leatherface in a meticulously crafted Six Flags experience.
Behind the Movie-Inspired Experience
This theme park spectacle, coming to Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags Over Texas, is crafted out of Alvarez's Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Scripted by Chris Thomas Devlin and based on a storyline by Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues, visitors can expect a terrifying ride.
Participants will step into the shoes of visitors to Harlow, the remote, horror-struck Texas town from the film. Complete with iconic scenes such as the “crawl of death”, “dead street”, and the final showdown with Leatherface, the gruesome serial killer, this experience is a sure shot at a thrill-filled time.
