Terror Films and Shudder have announced that Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, the third installment in the hit found footage horror franchise, has begun production and is scheduled to premiere exclusively on Shudder later this year.
Shudder was the exclusive home to the first Hell House LLC sequel when it premiered in September of 2018 and was one of the platforms most watched films.
Writer/Director Stephen Cognetti and Producer Joe Bandelli have returned for the new installment, along with many of the original Hell House LLC cast, including Ryan Jennifer Jones (Sara), Danny Bellini (Alex), Gore Abrams (Paul), Adam Schneider (Mac), Theodore Bouloukos (Robert) and Jared Hacker (Tony). They are joined by returning Hell House LLC II cast members Joy Shatz (Molly), Jillian Geurts (Jessica) and Brian David Tracy as the demonic former Abaddon Hotel owner Andrew Tully.
“Hell House III will be taking a cue from the original Hell House LLC, returning to its roots to capture the same intensity and fear that fans and critics alike fell in love with,” said Terror Film’s president Joe Dain.
In Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, guests both past and present will be forced to battle for their souls as all is revealed about the infamous Abaddon Hotel and the evil that dwells there. Set one year after the events of Hell House LLC II, the hotel is on the verge of being torn down when it is purchased by billionaire Russell Wynn (Gabriel T. Chytry) as the new home for his popular interactive show, “Insomnia.” He invites journalist Venessa Sheppard (Elizabeth Vermilyea) and her crew to record everything happening inside the hotel leading up to the performance, but they soon encounter a more nefarious plot, one that threatens to unleash a veritable hell on earth.
Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire will be the third and final film in the franchise, but it’s not the last you’ll see of the Abaddon Hotel. “The Abaddon Tapes”—a limited series, is currently in development and will expand on the history of the now infamous hotel where the franchise has taken place.
According to the news release, Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire will be available “in just a few months,” though an early tease of the film’s title featured an October 2019 release.
