The Italian La Casa Horror Film Series
Umberto Lenzi directed Ghosthouse in 1988 (La Casa 3 - Ghosthouse), but many of his fans do not know why it was released as La Casa 3 in Italy. The American films The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 were released in Italy as La Casa and La Casa 2 respectively. Lenzi's film Ghosthouse was designed as a sort of sequel to these two high-grossing fan favorites, and thus was released in theatres there as La Casa 3. The same year, Fabrizio Laurenti directed Witchery (starring Linda Blair) which was released in Italy as La Casa 4 and was followed several years later by Claudio Fragasso's La Casa 5: Beyond Darkness (not to be confused with Joe D'Amato's "Beyond The Darkness").
