Discovery Presents Scripted VR Experience The Haunted Castle

LONDON: Discovery Communications has given a worldwide release to the scripted VR production The Haunted Castle, shot at the famed Corvin Castle in Transylvania, Romania.

Shown in black and white, the 360-degree production evokes monsters and maidens in tribute to the tradition of horror film and literature across Europe, particularly German Expressionism and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The Haunted Castle is now available on the Discovery VR mobile app (iOS and Android) and DiscoveryVR.com, as well as a number of Discovery Networks-branded websites, official YouTube and Facebook fan pages, and the official Corvin Castle website.

Paul Welling, the senior VP of brand and franchise development at Discovery Networks International, said, “Discovery is known for immersive storytelling and the quality of our content, and Discovery VR is a great way for us to create a thrilling and distinctive experience for audiences. After launching the platform in 2015, we now have a robust programming lineup of more than 115 unique pieces of content. Haunted Castle takes the viewer on a powerful and chilling journey and we’re very excited and curious to see how fans will react to it.”
