Rob Zombie Hosting "Great American Nightmare" 2015

After getting his very own pinball machine and working on new upcoming killer clown flick "31," Rob Zombie will again be curating the "Great American Nightmare" event this October.

Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare returns to the Odeum Expo Center in Villa Park, IL (just outside Chicago) for its second engagement from September 25th - November 1st. Tickets go on sale for al dates on Friday, July 31st. October 2nd & 4th will also feature two special concerts with Zombie himself.

"I am thrilled to be bringing The Great American Nightmare back to the Chicago area for its second year,” says Rob. “After last year's overwhelming response we've decided to return with a completely new Nightmare. It's more vile and disgusting than ever. Have fun."

This year's edition will feature three attractions based on Zombie’s own horror films:

Captain Spaulding’s Clown School In 3D: This irreverent school of pure terror is a hallucinogenic trip through the mind of Captain Spaulding (House Of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects). Startle after startle will thoroughly frighten even the bravest patrons, who won’t know if they should be laughing, screaming or crying.

The Devil’s Rejects: The murderous, backwoods Firefly family takes to the road to escape a vengeful police force that isn't afraid of being as ruthless as its target. Guests will become part of the state troopers’ search and destroy mission against the Firefly family, who are wanted for over 75 homicides and disappearances.

31: On October 30th, 1975, five carnival workers are kidnapped and held hostage until the following night (Halloween), and are put in a compound named "Murder World." They're told that they are there to take part in a game named "31," where the goal is to survive the next 12 hours. This is made difficult by the fact that they are not alone in “Murder World” -- a violent gang of evil clowns are stalking their every move.

Great American Nightmare producer Steve Kopelman says, ”Given the tremendous support we received last year in Chicago, we are extremely excited to make it the first location that we are coming back to. Last year was just a taste of what’s in store. This year will be Bigger, Badder and Bloodier! We can’t wait to show Chicagoland our all new event.”
