Though it’s still just August, those of us who love Halloween and horror know that the witching hour is just around the corner. Once September hits, we’ll be in full-blown fall mode, and that means spooky scares, costume prep, and of course, the release of our very first film, Nerdist Presents: The Hive!

We first saw the flick at Austin’s massive genre film festival, Fantastic Fest, and knew instantly that we had to get involved, so we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on. We’ll have plenty of sneak peeks and special goodies in the next few weeks leading up to release, but in the meantime, make sure you snag pre-sale tickets for our one-night Fathom premiere in September. Pre-order tickets here for a chance to see exclusive Nerdist and The Hive content at select Fathom theaters on Monday, September 14 at 7:30 p.m. (local time). You’ll even catch a “vine-style” intro from the Nerdist himself, Chris Hardwick and executive producer Steve Aoki, whose decidedly rad songs appear on the film’s soundtrack.

For those not yet part of The Hive, here’s a lil synopsis for you:

“Nerdist Presents: The Hive tells the story of Adam, a summer camp counselor, and his terrifying task to save his campers, his friends, and the rest of the world from a mysterious plague. Waking up with little memory, covered in a strange black liquid in a torn up room, Adam must piece together his own memory and discover the key to surviving the imminent apocalypse.” Sounds like the perfect intro to our favorite, spooky season.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, August 14, but you don’t want to wait til then, do you? Who knows… you might just need refuge from a deadly contagion…
