The movie introduces you to a new haunted house.
Shudder has announced an exclusive streaming debut date of Friday, April 4 for 825 FOREST ROAD, from writer/director Stephen Cognetti of the HELL HOUSE LLC franchise, as part of the Halfway to Halloween celebration. Joe Bandelli, Brian Anthony Wilson, Mike Sutton and Monica Fleurette star; the synopsis: “The story is centered on Chuck Wilson, who is starting a new life after a family tragedy when he moves to the town of Ashland Falls with his wife Maria and little sister Elizabeth. But he quickly discovers that the town has a dark secret. The ghost of Helen Foster has terrorized residents for decades, since her own suicide back in the ’40s. Finding Helen’s old home is key to ending the hauntings, but the address they have doesn’t match any of the town’s existing streets. When Chuck realizes his family might be in danger of Helen’s wrath, he takes it upon himself to locate 825 Forest Road before it’s too late.”
“Stephen’s HELL HOUSE LLC franchise been a cult favorite for Shudder viewers and we’re excited to welcome him back home,” says Shudder’s head of programming Sam Zimmerman. “825 FOREST ROAD is a twist on a haunted house tale that will stay with you long after the credits roll.”
