Horror House on Highway 5

Louise is a resourceful LA City College student who partners with her friends on a research project. She navigates the labyrinthine house, fights to rescue Sally, and ultimately confronts multiple killers. Her quick thinking and resilience keep her alive through the nightmare, even as the danger closes in on all sides.

Sally is a curious and brave student who interviews Dr. Marbuse and Gary but is kidnapped and subjected to occult rituals. She becomes a central figure in the danger that unfolds inside the house and represents the vulnerable side of academic inquiry drawn into a deadly horror.

Michael is Louise’s fellow student who helps work on a model V-2 rocket. He and Louise become stranded in a remote location, explore a haunted house, and eventually fall victim to the supernatural forces at work.

Frederick Bartholomew is the German expatriate rocket scientist whose past involvement with the V-2 project shadows Littletown. He lurks on lonely highways, and his presence culminates in the brutal killings conducted under his mysterious influence.

Dr. Marbuse is a mentally ill, unlicensed physician who believes parasites infest his brain and torment his community. He co-hosts the occult rituals, drugs and abducts Sally, and embodies the perverse medical horror at the heart of the house.

Gary is a shy, lonely psychopath who is drawn to tarot cards and occult curiosities. He collaborates with Marbuse in Sally’s captivity, personally participates in the violence, and helps seal Sally’s fate within the house.

The killer is revealed beneath the Richard Nixon mask, a disguise that lets Bartholomew stalk victims with eerie certainty. The mask blurs identity and motive, culminating in a final, undead confrontation after the façade is removed.
