CLOSET SPACE, the Lovecraftian feature by director Mel House, has been building a pretty solid rep via convention/fest showings and advance screeners, and today House gave Fango the scoop that everyone will soon be able to check it out thanks to a just-signed DVD deal.

R-Squared Films, which has been snapping up a number of notable indie chillers lately, will release CLOSET SPACE (previously available on disc only in Germany and Japan) on October 12. The DVD will include commentary by House, scripter Jason Stewart and actors Melanie Donihoo (pictured) and James LaMarr. “This has certainly been a long time coming, and we’re very thankful that R-Squared has added us to their roster,” House tells us. “In the period between us finishing CLOSET SPACE and actually getting it released Stateside, we’ve lensed three other movies…and this whole time, people have been constantly asking about SPACE. I’m glad we’re finally getting it out there—especially given the excitement that has building around our most recent project, WALKING DISTANCE. Folks really want to see what came before, and the timing kind of worked out, with things also currently in the works for DISTANCE’s release. Better late than never, I guess.”

Stay tuned for more updates on distribution for DISTANCE (which features such genre names as Reggie Bannister, FRIDAY THE 13TH’s Adrienne King, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY’s Katie Featherston and Fango fave Debbie Rochon). CLOSET SPACE, which also stars Jovan Jackson, Morgan McCarthy, Evan Scott and Peyton Wetzel, follows a group of grad students into a rural house where bizarre landscapes and creatures lurk behind its doors; the FX team includes SWEATSHOP's Marcus Koch and that film's director Stacy Davidson.
