Wes Craven tapped into the horror of real estate with The People Under the House by having crooks break into a house for a robbery only to fear for their lives. The movie featured Everett McGill and Wendy Robie as a creepy couple that’s more wacked out than the couple they played on Twin Peaks. Scream Factory going to be giving the movie more curb appeal when they upgrade The People Under the House to 4K UHD in May. You’ll get to see more disturbing sights on the property. Here’s the press release from Scream Factory:
