This is crazy awesome. There is now a Fatal Frame 4D movie attraction at certain Japanese theme parks. As expected, Beyond the Camera's Lens has the links and details.
It sounds exactly like the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" and Bug's Life attractions at DisneyWorld. Sit in theater, wear 3D glasses, chairs vibrate, fog machines and water spritzers. Only you're in Fatal Frame 2. Which would be incredible. I'm on MapQuest right now trying to find a route from Pennsylvania to Tokyo.
Man, imagine that. Broken Necks floating toward you, Chitose blackouts, little puppet girls grabbing at your ankles. And a Crimson Butterfly fluttering just out of reach.
In other FF news, Japan is also getting a Fatal Frame cell phone game. It probably works with camera phones, a natural tie-in. You can collect ghosts in the game and then add the ghosts to your real pictures. I wonder how much exorcismal power my cell phone has...
Of course, there is Zero chance of any of this hitting the US. Although rumors persist of a Fatal Frame movie, in the suspense-horror tradition of The Ring and Blair Witch. But in the meantime, we'll have to occupy ourselves with Fatal Frame cosplayers, a direction I fully support.
Again, it's all covered at BCL, a website which seems to stand on the unexpected precipice of Fatal Frame news lately!
