The House on the Witchpit

The House on the Witchpit is notable for its unconventional distribution and promotion. Released by Jinx Media, the film premiered at the Horror-on-Sea festival in 2016 without any prior details or promotional materials. This secrecy created a buzz among horror enthusiasts and collectors alike.

In a dramatic twist, director Pat Higgins destroyed both the master copy and the backup of the film during the premiere, ensuring that the version seen at the festival would never be released again. This act has added an air of intrigue surrounding the film's existence, as it has led to the creation of a new version, which was made available for rental on Halloween 2017 through Vimeo On Demand for just one day.

Collectors interested in horror films will find The House on the Witchpit an interesting piece due to its limited availability and the unique story behind its release. With no trailers or extensive marketing, it stands as a curious entry in the horror genre from the mid-2010s.
