THE HOUSES OCTOBER BUILT interviews with cast & director – a cool take on horror

One of the more imaginative horror movies to hit theaters this year is THE HOUSES OCTOBER BUILT. Filmed in and around the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex a few years ago, it uses the concept of found footage and haunted house attractions being more than what they appear. It’s being released in AMC Theatres this weekend, October 10, in Dallas, New York, LA and a few other major markets. I had a chance to sit down with Bobby Roe (star and director), Zack Andrews (producer and actor), Brandy Schaefer (actress) and Mikey Roe (actor) and chat a bit about the film and their journey making it. This is one of those “local boys make good” stories, and I’m happy to say the film is really cool too. Check out the interview below, and look for the film this weekend (also on VOD) – it’s also out on DVD in January of 2015, so we’ll re-examine it then as well.

Here’s a clip, referenced in the interview:

THE HOUSES OCTOBER BUILT is now playing in AMC Theaters in Dallas, New York and LA (and other select markets) as well as VOD, and hits DVD in January of 2015.
