‘The Houses October Built 2’ Will Return to the World of Extreme Haunts
If you love attending haunted attractions, Bobby Roe’s The Houses October Built was tailor made for you.
Released in 2014, the found footage film centered on a group of friends who are in pursuit of the most extreme haunts they can find, and it was one of my personal favorite horror movies of that year. In fact, it’s become an annual October staple for me.
Which is why I’m excited to announce that a sequel is on the way!
Via Deadline, RLJE Films has acquired North American rights to The Houses October Built 2, which has apparently already been shot and is headed to theaters and VOD this coming September.
Bobby Roe once again directed the film, which he co-wrote with Zack Andrews.
The new film picks up the five haunted-house enthusiast friends still trying to recover from the trauma of being kidnapped last Halloween by the Blue Skeleton — a group who takes “extreme haunt” to another level. They decide to face their fears in order to move on, and go back out on the road to find more haunted houses, but signs of the Blue Skeleton start appearing again.
Brandy Schaefer, Zack Andrews, Mikey Roe and Jeff Larson star.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
