About
“After the World Ends” follows a small group of survivors after a devastating meteor apocalypse. As civilization collapses, they take refuge in the most unlikely place imaginable: a haunted house attraction converted into a bomb shelter.
What begins as survival soon turns into a descent into madness as killer clowns, cannibal convicts, and the terrifying aftermath of the meteor strike begin to close in.
This indie sci-fi horror film blends post-apocalyptic survival, disaster movie spectacle, and psychological horror into a unique end-of-the-world thriller.
Starring: Academy Award winner Margaret O’Brien (Meet Me in St. Louis) Action legend Vernon Wells (The Road Warrior) Horror icon Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) Hollywood veteran Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street) Indie cult favorite Jed Rowen (The Ghastly Love of Johnny X) along with Tasha Tacosa and Chris Giese.
Watch as a meteor impact changes the world forever and forces a group of survivors to confront both the horrors outside… and the monsters within.

Facts and Trivia
- The movie was initially released under the title “Impact Event.”
- The majority of the movie was shot at the real life Hobb’s Grove in Sanger, California, near Fresno.
- In the movie, the haunt is called Grandpa Hobb’s Haunted Attraction.
- Actor Chris Giese, who plays Billy, also has a character he portrays ever year at Hobb’s Grove named Billy Bob Hobb.
- Many of the movie actors are regular haunt actors at Hobb’s Grove every October, including Tanamin Clark (Omega Man), Windy Hamilton (Wendi) and many of the others.
- Barsuglia’s last movie was more than 60% green screen and digital effects. He wanted Impact Event to contain very few digital effects. The gore effects are all practical with some digital enhancement and there are some digital effects to create the look of the world post-impact; otherwise, considerably fewer overall.
- The characters Wendi (Windy Hamilton) and Ida (Remmy Jones) were originally written as 20-something males Walt and Ian. During open casting calls, actors were told, regardless of how it was written the roles were non-gender, or age specific. The script was re-written to accommodate both Windy and Remmy after casting.
