In the grand tradition of life-changing stories that take place all in one night (The Warriors, Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse, even something like Escape from New York) comes Joseph Maddrey's "Caged." A dark episode from a dark season of a dark series, "Caged" plays with the usual condensations to time and space at the almost a-temporal "house at the end of the universe" in fascinating ways. See series creator John Muir's notes here.

THE HOUSE BETWEEN 2.6 - DISTRESSED
This episode of THB, a kind of late-game addition, is in the tradition of mid-season bonus episodes that are more interested in character development and alternative situations than with the story ark as a whole. You can read the sordid details of the production and why the thing came to be where it is here. Spirits and a different approach to the beyond pepper this episode, shot under extreme conditions and with a blistering efficiency that would make even Roger Corman proud!

THE HOUSE BETWEEN 2.5 - POPULATED
Normal blogging duties will resume once I finish posting this season of The House Between. This episode was conceived by Bobby Schweizer and features the closing thing that I can hope to have to a star turn (that is, a few lines). Enjoy this episode, fashioned lovingly in the memory of the eco-sci-fi films of the 1970s, re-vamped for today.
