‘Death House’ Delayed In Theaters

If you were eagerly awaiting Death House‘s arrival in theaters this week, we have a bit of bad news. You are going to have to wait one more week. The film’s theatrical release will be delayed by 7 days due to the massive success of Black Panther. Eric Parkinson, CEO of Hannover House, who is distributing Death House (review) in theaters, had this to say: Obviously, we are very disappointed to find such pressure from the exhibitors to hold-over multiple screens for ‘Black Panther’ but we are happy for the success that this film is providing to theatre owners, and we know that the slight delay we are implementing for ‘Death House’ will ultimately pay big dividends for the film.” There is good news though, Death House will premiere on Friday, March 2nd and will hold a media event open to the public at the Regency Plant 16 in Van Nuys, California. 20 cast members, along with additional crew members,

Review: ‘Death House’ Is A Dark Twisted Discent Into Hell (In A Good Way)

The highly anticipated genre film Death House, from director Harrison Smith, is approaching its fall release and we’ve reviewed it. Before we get into a review of the film, you should know about the story behind the movie. Originally, the script was penned by Texas Chainsaw Massacre Actor and genre icon Gunnar Hansen. Smith re-wrote the script, keeping Hansen’s vision intact. Smith also got the okay on the script from Hansen just before he passed away. Death House was a big undertaking. No other film in the history of horror has had such an enormous and impressive cast of well known genre actors. The cast list reads like a who’s who of horror and includes stars like Danny Trejo (Machete Kills), Tony Todd (Candyman), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Dee Wallace (Cujo), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th), Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), Sid Haig (The Devil’s Rejects), Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog), Barbara Crampton (We Are Still Here), Cody Longo

An Interview With Actress/ Writer/ Director Gabrielle Stone

Actress Gabrielle Stone and I had a chat about her most recent projects, including her roles in the highly-anticipated genre films ‘Death House‘ and ‘Rock Paper Dead‘, which will both see release in 2017. We also spoke about her other upcoming projects, being the daughter of genre legend, and her upcoming directorial debut. Horror Fuel: “What made you want to act?” GS: “Both my parents are in the industry, or were in the industry. My mom, I grew up with her on sets and was always traveling around with her, so I always felt at home on a film set. I always thought growing up that I wanted to be an actress, but didn’t really realize it until my first short film and that was called Henry John and the Little Bug. I remember walking off that set and thinking that I never want to do anything else for the rest of my life.” Horror Fuel: “Speaking of your parents,
