Play It By Fear (@playitbyfear.33) continues their brand new series, Sunday Scaries, with a belated 40th anniversary celebration of Steve Miner’s House!
After the disappearance of his young son and a painful divorce, horror novelist Roger Cobb (William Katt) retreats to his late aunt’s spooky old mansion to write a book about his Vietnam War experiences. But solitude isn’t what he finds. The house is alive–filled with vengeful spirits, interdimensional portals, demonic entities, and at least one closet that REALLY needs a warning sign, man.
House is a gloriously bizarre blend of haunted-house horror and off-kilter comedy that only the 1980s could have produced. It’s a cult classic has earned a devoted following for one simple reason: it’s genuinely weird as hell.
