Fear has never been so funny.

From the mind of producer Deon Taylor comes One Scary Nite. That's the biggest Halloween party Sacramento has ever seen, to be hosted by Flavor Flav and Mark S. Allen at the California Auto Museum at 2200 Front Street on Thursday.

The star-studded event produced by Taylor, Sacramento Kings point guard Bobby Jackson and Roxanne Avent will include more than 200 zombies, a hearse display, costume contest, midnight money drop and nearly 1,000 guests.

According to Karen McClaflin, executive director of the California Auto Museum, the venue is a perfect fit for what Taylor envisioned for the party and the hearse exhibit that opened Oct. 1 was a bonus.

"This is something Sacramento has never seen before, this is an experience," Taylor said. "You have to go through a haunted house to get in and a bunch of zombies walking around the Holy Grail. I think that in itself is going to be funny as hell."

The party is yet another branch of Taylor's very successful Nite Tales brand, including the movie "Nite Tales Presents Dead Tone," released Sept. 3 and "Nite Tales the series," which is a different spin on the classic "Tales from the Crypt." "The series," which airs Nov. 6 and introduces 10 episodes hosted by Flavor Flav. All "Nite Tales" episodes and movies are shot in Sacramento.

"'Tales from the Crypt' had the Crypt Keeper and we have Flavor Flav, who is really funny," Taylor said.

"Nite Tales" was a random concept, he said.

"Some shit will just pop into my head and I'm like 'Oh, what is that' and I'll just sit on the couch and have a conversation with myself," Taylor said. "I've always been a huge fan of "Tales from the Crypt" and the "Twilight Zone" and thought it would be kind of cool to have to redo a new anthology series."

Taylor said he likes to work in Sacramento because of the intimate feel and the culture.

"L.A. is old; 1,000 movies are being shot every day and I like that we can bring big actors and people are actually excited to see that happen in their city," he said.

DTE [Deon Taylor Entertainment] has teamed up with 2Smart Entertainment to create the first live stream party aired in 1080-I high definition. Live stream will include pop-ups, horror quizzes and giveaways. Viewers who are unable to attend can view the festivities on the "Nite Tales" Web site, Taylor said.

"This could be our event every year in Sacramento," Taylor said, adding that there will be a surprise during the party.

"People are going to be like 'Oh my God,' 'Oh shit'; it is going to be really good," Taylor said.

General admission is $30, VIP tables are $150 and VIP booths are $500. VIP bottle service is available. Guests in costume will be admitted free before 10 p.m. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Bobby Jackson Foundation to benefit children whose parents have died of cancer.
