A new trailer has been released for the upcoming supernatural film ‘The Forest’. The film is set in the real Aokigahara forest. Most of you have probably heard of Japan’s notorious forest, often referred to as the “Suicide Forest’.

The Sally Corporation revealed “The Walking Dead: Battle for Survival’, a potential theme park attraction at the International Association of Amusements Parks and Attractions convention, in hopes of finding an interested party.
