Check Out the Scary Pics From the OCULUS World Premiere!

If Mike Flanagan's goal was to scare the bejeesus out of the entire Midnight Madness audience (and I'm pretty sure it was), then he certainly accomplished that with the absolutely spine-tingling OCULUS. With actors Katee Sackhoff, Rory Cochrane (in his third Midnight Madness appearance!), James Lafferty, and Brendon Thwaites in tow, Flanagan surprised and shocked the Ryerson with his tale of a haunted mirror, and photographer Ian Goring was there to capture all the creepiness!

All they need is the evil mirror!

The world is but a toy to Midnight Madness!

Director Mike Flanagan explains that you should all cover your mirrors.

"Really, cover them right now," Katee Sackhoff

Q & A

"We got rid of the mirror, right?"

Carol here: Usually, Sachin uploads the photos himself, but I received a mysterious email providing me with the photos and the his text and asking me to post this for him while he dealt with "that cursed mirror!" I can only honor what I hope is not his last request and hope for that he has not entered some terrible Phantom Zone...

Anyway, thanks to everyone who came out. If you missed the premiere, there are still two more screenings of Oculus!

A Terrified Midnight Madness Audience Weighs in on OCULUS!

Well, that kind of came out of nowhere, didn't it? Mike Flanagan's understated OCULUS had at least one Midnight Madness audience member fleeing for the doors, and the rest absolutely transfixed by this tale of an evil mirror! Checking on Twitter after the screening, praise was universal and had everyone saying that "OCULUS is OCU-licious!" (no one is saying that).

"If IIIIIII ruled the world!"

Midnight Madness alum and YOU'RE NEXT co-writer Simon Barrett was scared too!
