House of the Damned is an American zombie comedy-horror film that was filmed in February 1996, it received a limited release later that year. The film gained its first wide release in 1996 and has been recently re-released with a 15th Anniversary Edition through Music Video Distributors (MVD) on October 25, 2011. It marks the directorial debut of Sean Weathers and is the first Full Circle Filmworks film. Initially, House of the Damned was just a 20 minute short, however Sean eventually elongated the script. The film is best known for its classic horror score, Gasp Magazine (Issue #4 2008) writes, "Campy films require campy music, and the music here fit perfectly. It sets the tone right off the bat and continues for the duration of the film." This film is also noteworthy as being the directorial debut of Sean Weathers and it was also dedicated to his best friend and script supervisor Jahvaughn Lambert, who committed suicide before the film was finished editing.

Michael Richards is a rapist and murderer, but in his mind he’s a victim out to get retribution against the women who have wronged him. The film uses the sequence approach and follows each of the five female leads as opposed to a time-line. The film shifts back and forth to follow the point of view of each of the women as they are stalked and haunted by the blood hunger psychopath. Each sequence shows the women engage in graphic drug use and sex, that both come off very real to the naked eye, and reveals a little bit more of the story before each woman is ultimately “judged” by Michael.

Ace Jackson (Sean Weathers) is a low level criminal who has dreams of making it big. Through his cousin, Baxter (Waliek Crandall), a local drug king pin, Mr. Bigelow aka Mr. Biggs (Adonis Williams), lets Ace unload a shipment of cocaine under the condition that he gets his money or drugs back by the end of the week, however things go horribly awry when the drugs are stolen and now Ace has to try and beat the clock before he gets killed by Bigelow's goons. The film has a very unique look and structure to it, the actors were aloud to improvise most of their dialogue to give the film a natural feel, it was shot in high-contrast black and white along with added graininess to match the gritty, dark, dirty world and the characters in it. There are also still images of murder victims spliced throughout the film to add to the impending sense of doom and inevitability for Ace. The most blunt message in the film however is the scrolling text that appears several times making statements of social and political injustices, comparing the macro and micro and turning Ace’s journey into an allegorical tale of someone on the bottom of the food chain trying in vain to make it to the top.
