Since 2004, Bleeding Skull has explored otherworldly cinema through reviews, books, and home video releases. We shine a light on independent genre films that have flown under the radar but deserve to be seen by all. Fangoria has called Bleeding Skull “The go-to encyclopedia for trash, bizarre, and shot-on-video cinema,” while Vice referred to it as “like a fever dream glimpse into parallel worlds".

Existing outside the boundaries of reality, House of Dreams is a lost chapter of mid-century, avant garde horror from director Robert Berry. The story follows Lee (Berry), a frustrated author who is plagued by recurring nightmares centered around a haunted house. Shot on gritty 16mm film stock in Indiana and never legitimately distributed, House of Dreams is a sincere, abstract, and melancholy haunting that would feel right at home on a triple feature with Meshes of the Afternoon and Carnival of Souls.

directed by: Robert Berry
starring: Robert Berry, Pauline Elliott
