Live-Streamed Horror

Brands are leveraging the suspense of the moment with live-streamed content

Trend - In an effort to reach consumers at home, many entertainment brands are leveraging live-streaming platforms to display their horror-themed content. Ranging from 24/7 live-streamed haunted houses to live-streamed film screening, these examples underscore an emerging sector of entertainment.
