The horror film Traction Park Massacre is currently filming outside of Atlanta through April. Directed and written by Adam Dubin (Murder at the Front Row, A Year and a Half in The Life Of Metallica) and Douglas diMonda, the film is an ode to Eighties slasher movies, along with genre classics, like Evil Dead, Friday the 13th, and Saw.
Traction Park Massacre brings together two groups of strong characters isolated in the abandoned amusement park and at the mercy of the Terror Twins, played by Kai and Bodhi Schulz (American Horror Story). The film will feature a soundtrack of classic metal, and an Eighties inspired score from Alex Skolnick of Testament. Watch/Share the teaser.
In a statement, Dubin and diMonda said, “Traction Park Massacre is a horror movie with many comedic elements. The story is always moving forward taking our characters deeper into the dark hearts of the terror twins, Otto and Emil and their twisted fantasy world.”
Action Wonderland, a dangerous local waterpark burned to the ground fifteen years ago supposedly killing twin ten-year-olds Otto and Emil Von Metzger giving rise to urban legends.

Along the way Jamie and her friends attract the attention of an outlaw biker gang led by The Ruthless Napalm. The gang follows Jamie, Lisa, Jamal, Mark and Candy to the area to steal the RV and dispose of young people. But little do they know that terror twins, Otto and Emil have other plans for them. The entire group of young people and the biker gang are set upon by the twins, who have rigged out the area with traps and games based upon the old, dilapidated rides.
In discussing production in Georgia, producer Jack Gulick said, “Not only is the film crew, camera, grip, electric, special effects and all the post-production team from Georgia, we also made a huge effort to look to local acting talent before we looked elsewhere, and the result is a cast that is over 95 percent local. They are really wonderful skilled actors. Our rock solid production staff, led by line producer Mark Crump, a long time fixture in Georgia production, connected us with production designer Anthony Bruno, special effects master JJ Madaris, wardrobe designer Miracole Burns and AD Barbara Zagrodnik to name only a few. Our DP Chris Fenner was selected after a long careful search. His unique talent for mixing vintage lenses with modern digital technology has created the unique look and feel the directors were looking for. Finally our post production facility Moonshine Post Production and Boom Post Audio POST are equal to any I have worked with in New York or LA. Even being away from home for so long has been kinda fun as we really like it here.”
