VIDEO: Somebody Please Make a Horror Movie in this Abandoned Six Flags Theme Park!

When Hurricane Katrina hit, this Six Flags New Orleans theme park was abandoned and never reopened. After watching this eerie video tour of the park, which is shot entirely on a dolly and scored to Godspeed, You Black Emperor, I'm convinced that a horror movie must shoot here immediately. Teddy Smith made the video while working on production for The Courier, a crime-thriller starring Mickey Rourke which apparently shot here. But someone with the right script could make the creepiest horror movie of all time in this place. And Louisiana has serious tax-incentives. Watch the video after the jump, then find a way to make this happen!

Note: While the video says that the park will be demolished, A spokesperson for New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu disputes this. Also, according to the park's Wikipedia page, Southern Star Amusement Inc. is still trying to re-develop the park. Regardless, whoever bites the bullet on this horror movie idea should do so immediately!
