Snoop Dogg and Eli Roth Haunted House

We have all done it. We sit in the dark, watching a teenager reach for a doorknob in a haunted basement, and we scream: “What are you doing? Don’t go in there!”

In an inspired pairing of grindhouse gore and West Coast cool, director Eli Roth and rapper Snoop Dogg are turning that universal scream into a feature film.

Titled “Don’t Go In That House, B****!”, the project is a meta-horror nightmare designed to capture the exact moment an audience loses its mind at the screen.

Snoop Dogg isn’t just starring; he is producing through his Death Row Films banner and composing the film’s original score, marking a major creative leap for the hip-hop icon into the world of genre cinema.

An “Insane” Cinematic Cocktail

Eli Roth is not aiming for a subtle, slow-burning haunting. He described the script, completed over the recent holidays, as a mix of the surrealism of the Japanese cult classic Hausu, the slasher brutality of Friday the 13th, and the atmospheric rot of Lucio Fulci’s House by the Cemetery.

The most innovative element, however, is the “Greek Chorus” structure. 

Roth intends to put characters in the movie who act as the voice of the audience—characters who yell the very warnings we scream at the theater screen.

It is a self-aware approach that aims to be “the ultimate haunted house movie,” so bizarre and intense that people won’t believe it actually exists.

Key Production Details:

  • The Soundtrack: Snoop Dogg is writing and performing the score, building on his recent work for another project, Ice Cream Man.
  • The Timeline: Filming is slated to begin in June, pending California tax credit approval for a Los Angeles-based shoot.
  • The Producers: Christopher Woodrow and Raj Singh (MCT) join Snoop in producing, with executive production from The Horror Section.

Don’t Judge the Title by Its Cover

While the title might seem like a viral joke, it is a calculated subversion of horror tropes. Most modern horror tries to be “elevated” or “prestige.”

Roth is leaning into the B-movie aesthetic that made Hostel and Cabin Fever cultural touchstones.

By using a title that is essentially a meme, the film bypasses the need for a massive traditional marketing campaign. It speaks directly to the “midnight movie” crowd.

Furthermore, having Snoop Dogg contribute to the score—not just a single song—suggests that the film will have a unique sonic identity that blends heavy hip-hop rhythms with classic horror tension.

The Snoop-Roth Connection

This isn’t a random pairing. The duo has a history dating back to 2012, when Roth directed Snoop’s La La La music video. Their mutual respect for “insane” creativity has led to this moment.

While Roth’s other major project, the sequel to the 2023 hit Thanksgiving, has been postponed due to cast schedules, all eyes are now on this haunted house experiment.

Summary: 

Snoop Dogg and Eli Roth are collaborating on “Don’t Go In That House, B****!”, a meta-horror film featuring a Snoop-composed score and a narrative that turns audience screams into a “Greek chorus” of terror.
