Interesting facts

Ghosthouse is a 1988 Italian horror film written and directed by Umberto Lenzi. It co-starred Lara Wendel and Donald O'Brien. The plot focuses on a deserted house where the visions of a ghostly girl and her haunted doll wreak havoc on those who enter it.

Production

Towards the end of the 1980s, the Italian genre film industry was producing less material. Independent companies began focusing on foreign markets where their products would sell more easily, either theatrically or on home video. One company was Aristide Massaccesi's Filmirage, founded in 1980.

Despite the credits citing one Cinthia McGavin as the screenwriter, the screenplay was written by Lenzi. Lenzi first wrote Ghosthouse's story in January 1987 and found Italian and American funding from through producer Roberto Di Girolamo, who later left the project due to financial issues. This led to Massaccesi entering the project as a producer.
