Director Statement

This story comes from my love of turn of the century houses and all of the mystery surrounding them. The Old West End in Toledo, Ohio is one of the largest neighborhoods of various architectural styles from that era still in existence. it is home to a community of people who host a fabulous festival every year with a parade and tours of some of the homes.

The story also comes from recurring nightmares I had as a child of creatures living under my grade school. Sounds that can't be explained, sometimes there is more than history, in an old house.
