One of the last of a dying breed of cinema, in 1979 The Evictors helped usher in the new horror genre formula of the early to mid 1980s. Of special note is actor Michael Parks (Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill, and Grindhouse). Jessica Harper and Vic Morrow also starred. My father, John, was Assistant Director and Art Director for this one.
the house is located in jonesville, texas. it's right near the texas-louisiana border, about thirty minutes away from shreveport.

Cool! I remember the house well! It was a WRECK when we got to it - I found an old book I love, Hansel and Gretel from around 1915 before the house was cleaned out - still have it. My father wired the walls with explosives for the gun fire. My mother had to get replacement glass for the back kitchen door for about five takes every time it was broken out - something she got very frustrated with. Nice to know it's still there - when did you buy it?

I saw this on TV once, when I was 14. But my sister was in the room and my aunt was being a jerk and said I had to change it. I've never had a chance to see it all.
Thanks for posting this, though. It helps.
