House was made 1986 and stared William Katt, George Wendt & Kay Lenz.
It's an unexpectedly ambitious, refreshingly unperdictable horror, the special effects are imaginative & impressive.

But when he moves into a strange house left to him by his late aunt, Roger's fragile sanity is pushed to breaking point by nightmares of a dead war buddy, visits from an annoying neighbor and an onslaught of hideous creatures from another dimension.

Cunningham, Writer Ethan Wiley and Star William Katt, Animated menu, Picture Disc. CD SOUNDTRACK: Coming soon? PP's REVIEW: Man...this has got to be one of the greatest 'b' movies of ALL time. It certainly is MY favorite that's for sure (coming in at No.1 on my top ten list of cult-classic movies) and was apparently the most profitable picture ever to come out of former distributor New World Picture's line-up back in 1985 ($3 million dollar budget that turned over $40 million in it's first week of release...or something like that...HUGE! Well...for 1985 anyway!) It has everything you could want in a supernatural horror/ comedy as well...laughs, action, monsters (if that is indeed your 'scene') and is quite definitely William Katt's finest hour. This is his best work since 'The Greatest American Hero'...and why he did not win some kind of award for it is beyond me. No one does it quite like our former beloved 'Ralph Hinkley'...heh! I've placed this film in my cult hit hall of fame alongside other movies such as: 'The Gate' 'Trick or Treat' 'Pumpkinhead' and 'The Monster Squad'. What a line-up...I'm in hog heaven ;D STAR RATING: ***** OUT OF ***** ALTERNATE TAGLINE: You are cordially invited to spend an evening with Roger Cobb and his friends...don't come alone! TRAILER: House <- Click on Link TRIVIA: Coming Soon

No problem, Owen. It's interesting to note that, although Willam Katt played 'Roger' in 'House 4' he did not appear to be playing the same character from the original film. Very weird!
