‘Hell House LLC’ Creator Stephen Cognetti On Creepy Clowns and Found Footage [Watch]
Stephen Cognetti unleashed found footage terror on the world with his 2015 film Hell House LLC. Now, almost a decade later, a fire has consumed the unholy Abaddon Hotel but there’s still more to this sinister story. With Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor, which had its world premiere at the 2023 Telluride Horror Show, Cognetti is able to get back to basics, while still building an incredibly detailed world where there are just way too many clowns.
Read the full synopsis below:
The story takes place in 2021 and follows a group of internet sleuths who travel to the remote Carmichael Manor. Located deep in the woods of Rockland County, New York, the estate is the site of the infamous 1989 Carmichael family murders that have gone unsolved to this day. What they discover are secrets that have been hidden away for decades and a terror that has been lurking in the shadows long before Hell House.
Dread Central spoke with Cognetti about leaving the Abaddon and telling a new terrifying tale in the Hell House LLC universe. Plus, we talk about those damn clowns.
