What’s Creeping In?

You know that feeling when you think you’ve seen the worst a haunted house can offer—and then a ghost clown grins at you through 240p night vision? Yep, Hell House LLC is back. And this time, it’s bringing bloodlines, backstories, and probably more creepy piano music no one asked to hear at 3 AM.

In Lineage, we dive deeper into the culty madness surrounding the Abaddon Hotel. The teaser hints at the generational evil that built the horror playground we’ve been trapped in since 2015. Expect grainy footage, terrified faces, one flashlight that dies at the worst moment, and a demonic timeline longer than your therapist’s notes on you.

What the Fans Are Screaming

On Reddit, one brave soul wrote:

“If that clown moves even once in this movie, I’m throwing my laptop into the sea.”

Another commented:

“Hell House movies make me afraid of folding chairs and abandoned hotels. Thanks, I hate it. Can’t wait.”

And someone else dropped:

“Give me back the old-school found footage terror, I want to suffer like it’s 2016 again.”

Consensus? Horror fans are traumatized and hungry for more.

Why This One Might Break Us (Again)

Stephen Cognetti knows how to build slow, suffocating dread. No jump scares thrown at you like cheap Halloween candy—Hell House movies are about the creeping, the lingering, and that awful silence right before something peeks into the frame.

Lineage seems to promise lore expansion, new characters to scream at, and more of that documentary-style spiral into madness. And if the previous entries were any sign, by the end we’ll be watching through our fingers, yelling “DON’T GO IN THERE” while knowing full well—they’re going in there.

Our Take

We’re We the Freakers—your cursed companions in all things horror. We’ve got a special place in our cold, cobwebbed hearts for Hell House LLC. Why? Because it still delivers real found footage terror when everyone else just gives us TikTok filters and screams.

This isn’t just another haunted hotel flick—it’s a freakin’ franchise that understands dread. And Lineage looks like it’s ready to deepen the hellspawn family tree and mess with our heads one locked door at a time. Get ready to dive deeper into the lore and get your mind twisted.

If you’ve survived the Abaddon once, well… don’t get too confident. This house doesn’t forget. And neither do we.
