The now annual Halloween season tradition of 'Terror Vault' at the Old Mint in downtown SF returns this year with a fresh concept called Slashed - Return to Hellville, taking inspiration from 1980s slasher films. "The slasher films of the 1980s had such a distinct visual language, and we wanted audiences to feel like they've stepped right into one of those movies," says Terror Vault co-founder David Flower. Some images that have been teased out by the Terror Vault team suggest a homoerotic element with two frat brothers played by Miguel Velez (aka this year's Hunky Jesus winner!) Preivous iterations of Terror Vault have delved into themes of cult initiation and witches' hexes. Terror Vault reopens Thursday, October 1 and runs through Sunday, November 1.
