The Horror Show (also released as
House III: The Horror Show and
La Casa 7) is a 1989
supernatural horror film starring
Lance Henriksen and
Brion James. Although marketed as a sequel to the film
House for the non-US market, its connection to the other
House films is limited to the crew it shares (producer
Sean S. Cunningham, cinematographer
Mac Ahlberg and composer
Harry Manfredini, among others) and the premise of a killer haunting a house. The third "true"
House film was named
House IV in reference to the existence of this film. A similar movie called
Shocker was released in October of 1989, when this was released in April 1989. The plot points of both movies are almost identical, including a serial killer, execution via electric chair, and said killer making a
deal with the Devil.
Shocker later became a
cult classic.
Kane Hodder was the stunt coordinator on the film.
