‘The Houses October Built 2’ Gets a Release Date
We have so much to look forward to this Halloween season, and one of the films I personally can’t wait to check out is The Houses October Built 2. The sequel to 2014’s found footage gem was only recently announced, and it’s already headed our way next month.
As announced on the official Houses October Built Facebook page this week, the sequel will hit limited theaters and VOD outlets on September 22.
Expect a trailer soon.
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.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
