You may be familiar with The Houses October Built from 2014, but did you know there is an earlier version of the film from 2011? Filmed as a documentary, director Bobby Roe and writer Zack Andrews wanted to craft a journey across the country using their close friends and one RV. The original film is harrowing, creepy, and shocking.

In the film:

Looking for a good fright for Halloween, five friends set off on a road trip to discover the scariest underground haunts. As their trip appears to reach a dead-end, whispers of a haunt like no other draw them to the darkest corners of haunted attractions. 

The original, unreleased 2011 haunted house documentary that went on to inspire the cult theatrical release of the same name, THE HOUSES OCTOBER BUILT – ORIGINAL VERSION goes deeper behind the scenes of extreme Halloween haunted attractions, introducing an entirely new narrative and unexpected conclusion.

We spoke with Roe and Andrews about the original film, its shocking ending, and their experience screening it with an audience.

The Houses October Built (2011) is available now on Shudder.
