8213: Gacy House
A group of paranormal investigators enter the abandoned home of paedophile and serial killer John Gacy, hoping to find evidence of paranormal activity. Upon entering the house they set-up cameras throughout the abandoned house while going room to room with hand-held cameras, performing séance's and asking for John Gacy to come forward. As the evening progresses it seems the investigators are not prepared for the horror still within the house.
Why it matters
A found-footage haunted house tale that mines true-crime fascination for a grim, claustrophobic scare.
- Leverages the real-life infamy of John Wayne Gacy to amplify dread without cheapening the horror.
- Raw, handheld camerawork builds tense immediacy, echoing early Paranormal Activity’s DIY aesthetic.
- Practical gore effects punctuate the slow burn, rewarding patience with unsettling moments.
- Best for fans of true crime-infused hauntings and micro-budget ghost hunts craving atmosphere over polish.
