Trivia
Kevin Bowen, who played the police officer, received third degree burns over his pelvis and thighs while filming a scene. Originally, Richard Kyanka was to walk down to the basement and shoot a flare gun into the police officer's crotch. While Bowen was wearing a fireproof suit underneath his costume for the shot, Kyanka missed his target and hit Bowen's lower legs, setting his pants on fire. As a result, Bowen's last scene is him clutching the board. The last shot of the film was a last-minute replacement as an ending.

Goofs
Upon entering his house, Mr. Linux is carrying what appears to be rolled-up carpet.

Quotes
Reginald P. Linux: My name is Reginald P. Linux. And ever since my wife died, I've been very depressed. This is why I've been searching for the house of my dreams. But as a philosopher once said, "Be careful what you dream for, because you just might get it".

This movie is the reason I get out of bed every morning

It astonishes me how well this short film (much-anticipated in the Appleton film circuit) was able to deliver the fresh goods. "Doom House" is able to simultaneously shock the viewer with breathtaking cinematography, while at the same time forcing them into the world of Reginald (Kyanka). It is usually the case that a film's director will be caught up in creative eccentricities, and so, overplay one aspect of production, and fail to take care with another: the 'style vs. substance' effect, if you will. But this film certainly doesn't fall prey to that, as every single shot sings out the same, poignant message: and neither does its well-roundedness make it mediocre.

The only drawback is that Mr. Kyanka anticipates the sequel by putting on a performance that is reminiscent of Guy Pearce.
