EP105 The Houses October Built (2014) "As many haunts as we can, all across America."

This week on Pod of the Dead, we dive headfirst into the eerie world of underground haunted attractions with the 2014 found footage horror film The Houses October Built. Blending documentary-style realism with chilling fiction, the movie follows a group of friends traveling across America in search of the scariest haunted houses they can find. What starts as a fun Halloween road trip quickly spirals into something darker when they encounter the elusive “Blue Skeleton” group, a mysterious troupe promising a truly extreme haunt experience.We unpack the film’s clever use of real haunted house footage, the way it blurs the line between fact and fiction, and how it taps into the growing obsession with extreme haunts. Expect discussion on the behind-the-scenes origins, the challenges of shooting on the road, and how the movie captures both the excitement and danger of chasing the ultimate scare.So grab your flashlight, climb aboard the RV, and get ready—because some haunted houses don’t want you to just visit… they want you to stay.Find us here⁠www.podofthedeadorelse.com⁠⁠linktr.ee/podofthedead⁠Contact us at⁠[email protected]⁠Intro music by Atomic Witchhttps://atomicwitch.bandcamp.com/music
