ASYLUM 33D! I WANT TO GIVE YOUR KIDS NIGHTMARES!

ASYLUM 33D was built in 1936, a time when the U.S. was struggling to recover from the Great Depression and every new job meant a full stomach for a hungry family. Funded by Roosevelt's New Deal, Asylum 33D was comprised of nearly twenty underground floors, built to house the suicidal, the mentally ill, and the homeless away from the surface in an inescapable underground psychiatric hospital. Even women and children were thrown into the depths of the hospital and to it’s closing in 1955, not a single escape was reported. Only 33 deaths.

Years later Ethan is convinced by his bright-eyed fourteen year old younger brother, Corey, to drive him and his three friends, Stephen, Zack, and Ben to the hospital upon hearing the legend of Asylum 33D, a place now so haunted that even the police don't visit it anymore. The rules are simple. They each have a flashlight with an hour's worth of battery life and after exploring the asylum for the next hour, they are to return and head back home. Ethan however separates from the group upon discovering streaks of blood on the floor and follows them into a stairway. Suddenly, a terrifying shriek begins moving towards him from out the darkness...

Ethan suddenly awakens on the lowest floor of the asylum, lost and alone. He wanders the halls with the battery of his flashlight slowly running down, only to find Stephen with a swollen left eye, balled up and crying on the floor. Something has dragged his brother and his friends into the depths of Asylum 33D. Now Ethan must climb his way back up to the top floor before his batteries die, seeking the others as he finds them in the labyrinth that is this place, and dodging the insane and violent ghosts that still haunt Asylum 33D.

Awesome! Congrats on getting the interview. One of the things I'll do with marketing at CrowdfundingPR is go through all the blogs and journalists that wrote about a particular crowdfunding project in the past (that has a similar niche/category to the one I'm promoting) and use that to generate a list of bloggers that are more likely to write about a campaign. This strategy might help with getting even more interviews :)
