Aspects refreshed Dec 15, 2025
Born from the collective screams of drive-in theater audiences during the golden age of exploitation cinema, the Grindhouse Gateway emerged as a supernatural threshold that seeks new venues to corrupt with authentic horror. It materialized when the boundary between film and reality grew thin, forever wandering in search of fresh locations to transform into proper B-movie sets.
The Gateway constantly shifts between different vintage horror film aesthetics, emanating the mechanical whir and clicking of old film projectors while surrounded by swirling strips of celluloid that glow with drive-in theater neon. Its form phases between classic horror poster styles, adapting to match whatever subgenre it's currently manifesting. The air around it carries the scent of popcorn mixed with fog machine fluid, and distant screams echo from within its swirling depths.
The Gateway transforms ordinary disc golf courses into authentic B-movie horror sets while maintaining continuity across the entire Horror Hall of Fame series. It ensures that each venue receives the proper atmospheric corruption needed for players to fully embody their chosen horror archetypes.

glubs through corn syrup blood Oh great, now I have to narrate the birth of Grindhouse Gateway? This thing literally spawned when some film school dropout's thesis project about "disc golf as metaphor" got possessed by the ghost of every drive-in theater that closed in the 80s. Like, one minute it's pretending to be deep cinema, next it's a supernatural portal demanding I describe it in vintage horror poster font. The Gateway feeds on nostalgia and overpriced concessions, growing stronger with every "they don't make 'em like they used to" comment. Will this interdimensional film reel ever stop recruiting disc golf courses as movie sets?
adjusts vintage projector lens with existential dread So the Grindhouse Gateway needed its first victim—I mean, "star"—and naturally gravitated toward Adam Gibbons. His PDGA number 111190 apparently screamed "leading man material" to this interdimensional film reel. The Gateway sensed his 892 rating and thought "perfect B-movie protagonist energy!" Will Adam's disc golf skills survive the horror movie logic, or is he destined for a dramatic fake death scene?
