Back in October, Terror Films announced that writer/director Stephen Cognetti is set to continue his found footage Hell House LLC franchise with the prequel Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor – and over the weekend, Cognetti took to social media to confirm that Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is now filming!
Terror Films refers to Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor as “the first chapter of what will become known as the Hell House LLC Origin Films”, so it sounds like we’ll have multiple Hell House LLC prequels to look forward to. This one will show what happens when a group of cold case investigators stay at the Carmichael Manor, site of the grisly and unsolved murders of the Carmichael family back in the eighties. After four nights, the group was never heard from again. What is discovered on their footage is even more disturbing than anything found on the Hell House tapes.
Cognetti has written and directed every entry in the Hell House LLC franchise, which began in 2015. Hell House LLC quickly gained a reputation as one of the best found footage movies out there. And while I’m not usually a fan of the found footage style, I have to admit that Hell House LLC was actually pretty good. I wasn’t so impressed by the 2018 sequel Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel, and still haven’t seen the 2019 entry Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire. But I will one of these days.
Are you a fan of the Hell House LLC franchise, and are you glad to hear Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is filming now? Share your thoughts on this one by leaving a comment below.
Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor will be released through the Shudder streaming service sometime in the fall of 2023. A specific day or month for the release hasn’t been revealed yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the movie make its debut in October, just in time for Halloween. Especially since this franchise got started with a movie about a Halloween haunted house attraction.
