There’s a new horror house in town.
Welcome Villain Films, a studio specializing in genre fare, launched on Thursday as a fully integrated shop to develop, produce, market and distribute movies. Welcome Villain Films already has two features in the works, a reimagining of “Last Shift,” as well as an untitled slasher project from the creators of “The Houses October Built.”
The company’s mission is to “empower creators of all levels, bridging the gap between studio and artist to consistently deliver edgy and exciting films in the horror and genre space,” according to a press release.
Welcome Villain Films has started to shape its executive team, which is currently comprised of four partners: Bonner Bellew as head of operations, Dan Clifton as head of production, Luke Labeau as head of development, and Eric Kleifield as head of creative. It plans to expand the leadership group as the year progresses.

Just when you think you have seen every conceivable version of a found footage movie, one comes along with a fresh and unnerving angle. That movie is The Houses October Built, which was co-written and directed by Bobby Roe.
The film follows five friends who rent an Rv and travel from town to town visiting the haunted houses that are put up for Halloween. However, this group isn’t terribly interesting in checking out typical haunted houses. Instead, they are determined to visit some underground Halloween haunts which promise an extremely horrifying time for those who dare to enter them. They soon discover what they’re looking for, but things then take a very, very dark turn.
At the recent press day that was held for the film, I had the chance to speak with Roe, as well as his cast (Brandy Schaefer, Zack Andrews, Mikey Roe and Jeff Larson), for an exclusive interview.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: a group of ultra-obnoxious boobs (buffoons, not annoying breasts) run afoul of a (possibly) supernatural menace and decide to film every little nuance of their strange journey beyond the ken of the mortal realm. Yup, ever since Blair Witch dedazzled audiences with its half-arsed blend of F-bombs, piss-poor improv and non-existent depictions of gruesome ghoulies, anyone with a buck o’ five and a camera thinks they are a cinematic wunderkind.

Bobby Roe and Zack Andrews take part in the latest edition of our Q&A series to tell us all about The Houses October Built, their new horror film that may make you second guess a trip to your local haunted attraction:
Thank you for taking the time to talk with us. I though this was a really interesting idea for a horror film, especially given how many people attend haunted attractions. What has your experience been like with haunted attractions over the years?
Bobby Roe: They have evolved that’s for sure. What once was scary has become an innocuous parlor trick compared to how far these haunts push the envelop these days.
Zack Andrews: And now working with them for the past five years, we’ve really seen how each haunted house is a family. They welcomed us into their world and we respect them and...

Halloween is coming, and you know what that means… horror themed haunted houses and mazes. Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year, and it's always fun going out and finding places that offer some fun scares.
Director Bobby Roe took the concept of haunted houses and mazes and used it as an idea for a new found footage horror film that he calls The Houses October Built. The story follows five friends who embark on a road trip to find the ultimate underground haunt. This leads to some disturbing and strange experiences. This is something I'd actually love to do for real, but I could do without the real aspect of death.
This may be a found footage horror film, which people are getting tired of these days, but it seems to work fine for this particular story. I think this is a really cool idea for a movie,...
