Impact Event revolves around a group of survivors who find themselves spending a post-meteoric apocalypse in a fun house converted into a bomb shelter.
The story opens on the day of impact. The unsuspecting populace of Earth watches as the gargantuan Roberts Meteor cruises near the planet. Unbeknownst to most, however, NASA has lied. The meteor is on a trajectory to not only hit the Earth, but to destroy every living organism. Not even bacteria is expected to survive.
Through a bit of luck (good and bad), the catastrophe, while still apocalyptic, isn’t the be-all-end-all for life on Earth. In fact, there are survivors!
A small band of survivors find themselves in the most unlikely of bomb shelters, a haunted house themed fun house outfitted to survive Armageddon! This group of misfits soon finds out exactly where and who they are when the world ends.
The cast features Academy Award winning actress Margaret O’Brien (who won an Oscar for Meet Me in St. Louis), action icon Vernon Wells (The Road Warrior), veteran actor Michael Berryman (The Hills have Eyes) and Hollywood mainstay Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street) along with multi-award winning indie movie icon Jed Rowen (The Ghastly Love of Johnny X) as well as Tasha Tacosa (Giantess Attack) and Chris Giese (Dark Walker)!

Facts and Trivia
- 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.
