Image Entertainment has taken the North American rights for the upcoming horror flick The Houses October Built. The film is the debut feature from Bobby Roe. He also stars in his own flick along with Brandy Schaefer, Zack Andrews, Mikey Roe and Jeff Larson. Andrews wrote and produced this film. Larson worked with Roe on the documentary of the same name.
The deal was negotiated by Image Entertainment's SVP of Acquisitions, Mark Ward.The Houses October Built takes you where no other Halloween film has gone before. Beneath the fake blood and cheap masks of countless haunted house attractions across the country, there are whispers of truly terrifying alternatives. Looking to find an authentic, blood-curdling good fright for Halloween, five friends set off on a road trip in an RV to track down these underground Haunts. Just when their search seems to reach a dead end, strange and disturbing things start happening and it becomes clear that the Haunt has come to them ...
"The Houses October Built is an instant Halloween classic," said Ward. "This is a film that audiences will seek out year after year - and will be just as terrified each time they watch it."
Writer/director Bobby Roe says,
"We found out that over 35 million people go to Halloween Haunts each year. But out of all the horror films out there, no one has touched on these places. It's untapped. So we decided to tell a story centered around the holiday and set it in the world of Halloween Haunted Houses."
