What happens

The Houses October Built is a 2014 American found footage horror film and the directorial debut of Bobby Roe. It was produced by Zack Andrews and Steven Schneider. Roe and Andrews both star in the film alongside Brandy Schaefer, Mikey Roe, and Jeff Larson. The film's plot follows five friends who set out on a road trip in search of haunted house attractions, and find themselves targeted by a mysterious and disturbed group. It is a recreation of Bobby's earlier film, The Houses October Built, created in 2011. This later version stars many of the same cast and characters, has a similar plot, and even reuses footage from the original. It is not, however, a sequel but a standalone recreation. Filming for The Houses October Built partially took place at several haunted house attractions, which Roe would later include in a list of "America's Scariest Haunted Houses" that he released as marketing material for the film. The film was given a limited theatrical release on October 10, 2014, and was released to home video on January 6, 2015. A sequel, The Houses October Built 2, also directed by Roe and reprising some of the original cast, was released in September 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
