The new episode of the WTF Happened to This Horror Movie video series digs into the maligned sequel House IV, featuring William Katt.

It’s time for a new episode of our WTF Happened to This Horror Movie? video series, and in this one we’re looking back at the 1992 mess that’s known as House IV (get it HERE). Unlike the previous sequels in the anthological House franchise, this one is a direct follow-up to the original House… but it’s one that left many fans wishing the filmmakers had just left House alone. To find out why, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Lewis Abernathy from a screenplay by Geof Miller and Deirdre Higgins (with R.J. Robertson and Jim Wynorski receiving story credit), House IV – which is also known as House IV: The Repossession and House IV: Home Deadly Home – has the following synopsis:

After Roger Cobb is killed in a car accident, his wife and young daughter move into an old house haunted by a Native American curse. Soon they begin to experience scary and unexplained phenomena.

The film stars Terri Treas, William Katt, Scott Burkholder, Denny Dillon, Melissa Clayton, Dabbs Greer, Ned Romero, and Ned Bellamy. Stunt coordinator Kane Hodder makes an appearance as a “Human Pizza”.

This is what the WTF Happened to This Horror Movie series is all about:

Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster, but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

The House IV episode of WTF Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written by Bryan Wolford, Edited by Victoria Verduzco, Narrated by Jason Hewlett, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

A couple of the previous episodes of the show can be seen below. To see more, head over to our JoBlo Horror Originals YouTube channel – and subscribe while you’re there!
