Ghost stories, we've heard them for decades and they're a dime a dozen in Hollywood where every mansion and storefront has a link to a restless spirit. But can a forty-six year old murder haunt four people enough to rip open a doorway to the past and catapult them back in time to a horrible night of ritual slaughter? It can if they live two doors down from the "House at the End of the Drive".
In part based on the actual experiences of its producer who lives near the site of the original Sharon Tate murder house of 1969, "House at the End of The Drive" is a terrifying horror thriller about a group of people who live near a famous murder site and via a time vortex, are then transported back to the night of the original killings. The twist: they materialize as the soon-to-be victims of the massacre.
Directed by former Clint Eastwood cinematographer David Worth (Kickboxer), from a screenplay by David Oman & Jim Vines (The Perfect Tenant) (Shockfest 2104 Best Writing Award) and executive produced by Paul Mason (The Amityville Horror), "House at the End of The Drive" marks the producing debut of David Oman and stars JamesOliver (Our Fathers), Angela Jones (Pulp Fiction), Jonathan Mangum (The Bucket List, Raising Helen) and Alison Raimondi (Club Dread) with a special guest appearance by Lance Henriksen (Aliens).
David Oman, an ex-private investigator and entrepreneur, decided to finance the film himself after experiencing the kind of actual phenomena in his home that Hollywood horror movies thrive on. It began with a ghost sighting in this own bedroom where a spirit who resembled one of the victims of the Tate massacre stood near his bed, pointing to the property next door down the drive. Oman then spoke to neighbors and own construction laborers and realized that he wasn't the only one touched by the macabre. In the film Lance Henriksen retells the story of one of his laborers whose experience here was so terrifying that he did not return for 6 weeks.
Keeping an open mind to something that could have been perceived of as ludicrous, the producer invited psychics and paranormal specialists to do a preliminary investigation and video footage and still photographs were taken. The still photos were stunning. There was a presence in the house, revealed through unusual orbs, shadowy images and streaking light patterns that were later examined by Dr. Barry Taff, one of the world's leading para-psychologists who called the House "The Mount Everest of Haunted Houses", this from someone who has investigated over 4000 reported hauntings. Since then Oman has opened up his home to private paranormal investigation/tours with tremendous results. On one occasion 3 weeks ago a 25 lbs butcher block piece spun on its own and off the TV it was sitting untouched on for several hours. The video can be seen https://youtu.be/0Oei1q2opt4 The Oman house has been on several Paranormal reality TV shows, such as Ghost Hunters, Dead Famous Live, My Ghost Story, Paranormal Witness, Haunted History, Ghost Adventures (Season 9 premiere Feb 2014) and Last weekend Ghost Adventures After Shocks (Season 2 premiere). Other shows such as Extra, TMZ and Larry King Live have stopped by to check out the unexplained occurrences at the Oman house.
