Episode 4 of Season 4! Host, Gratton Conwill and special guest, Matt Fields discuss The House That Screamed (1969).

Released on December 8th, 1969, The house That Screamed is a Spanish slasher horror film written and directed by Chicho Ibanez Serrador. It was Based on a short story by Juan Tébar. Director Serrador chose to make The house That Screamed, his first horror movie, as a product for international release. With a diverse cast of English and Spanish speaking actors, it was designed to be exported for foreign audiences. This is also why the entire movie was dubbed over in English, not just for an American release, but for its general release in Spain as well. It wouldn’t be until two years later that the US would get an edited down version released by AIP. Upon release, The house That Screamed would not make its budget back, and critics were mostly negative, with some more positive reviews conceding it was at least good for what it was. Today The house That Screamed has a cult following and its legacy as an atmospheric slasher would go on to influence directors like Dario Argento.
