YouTube Spaces, Legendary Entertainment and master filmmaker Guillermo del Toro have teamed up to deliver horror-inspired content onto the biggest video sharing platform in the world. As part of 2014’s Halloween holiday celebration, Legendary and YouTube Spaces partnered to provide the ideal setting and resources to connect with one of the most creative filmmaking communities in the world and seek out the brave new voice in horror.
YouTube creators had the opportunity to create original videos on terrifying cinematic sets inspired by Guillermo del Toro at YouTube Spaces in Los Angeles, London, Tokyo and New York, as part of a special global programming event on YouTube.
From September 22 – October 28, 2014, YouTube creators wrote, shot and edited their scariest videos at the YouTube Spaces. As well as appearing on individual creator channels, all content will appear on the YouTube Spaces channel, the official Legendary YouTube channel and promoted through social media platforms. Videos are going live between October 21 and Halloween.
In celebration of his return to horror with the upcoming Crimson Peak, master of ceremonies Guillermo del Toro selected the scariest video concepts to come out of each region and provided a personal rough-cut creative consultation with the creators. The program’s finale will see Legendary offer one lucky YouTube creator a development deal to realize the full potential of their idea.
The effort is part of YouTube Spaces’ tent-pole programming initiative that furthers the Spaces’ mission to bring together the most creative people in the world around celebrated cultural events. For more infomation on YouTube Spaces, please visit www.youtube.com/spaces.
