Doom House is a 2003 short film directed by and starring the filmmaking power duo of Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka and Kevin "Fragmaster" Bowen of Something Awful.After the heartbreaking death of his wife leaves a severe depression weighed heavily on his soul, Reginald P. Linux (Kyanka) packs his bags and searches for a new place to call home, an escape from the blinding guilt and torment wrenching his conscience. But just when he thinks he has found the perfect home, Reginald only discovers that he has tumbled into a frightening, macabre world of unspeakable terrors that threatens to shatter his very existence and fragile sensitivity. Along with the help of a friendly plainclothes police officer who may or may not be what he appears (Bowen), Reginald attempts to unravel the bloody, horrifying secrets of the Doom House...The film was accompanied by an incredibly fawning review at Something Awful by Ben "Greasnin" Platt, who praised it as a masterpiece, giving it a score of 46/50 while noting, "This film achieves a level of realism that is unheard of, while still using tried and true methods of cameraplay and misdirection to craft together a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the opening title to the haunting twist ending."The smash success of Doom House led to a sequel, Mood House, with Opposite Day dialogue as well as the order of the sequence of events and the roles played by the actors reversed, and an anime series in Japan. | |

Cool House: The doom house is capable of decorating its interiors to look like a normal suburban family home all on its own. However, this trope is ultimately Subverted what with the doom house being haunted and all. | |

Bait-and-Switch Credits: The opening title card reads "Doom Hose", but right then, just when the audience is starting to get the idea that they're going to see a murderous hose strangling people and spraying them with water, the title changes to something even more sinister—"Doom House". Now, all those expectations of a sinister hose that the audience had already forged are shattered and replaced with a far more terrifying thought, this is about a horror that is inside a home, a place where people go to feel safe. | |

Doom House (Web Video) / int_d51158ee | comment |
Revised Ending: The original ending involved Linux walking down to the basement and shooting a flare gun into the terrorist's crotch. While actor Kevin Bowen was wearing a fireproof suit underneath his costume for the shot, Rich Kyanka, playing Linux, missed his target and hit Bowen's lower legs, setting his pants on fire and leaving him with third degree burns over his pelvis and thighs. As a result, Bowen's last scene is him clutching a wooden board. The last shot of the film was a last-minute replacement as an ending. | |
