Snoop Dogg Is Going into the House for Eli Roth’s DON'T GO IN THAT HOUSE, BITCH!
Snoop Dogg is officially heading into full-on horror territory. The legendary rapper and entertainment mogul is set to star in Don’t Go in That House, Bitch!, the upcoming haunted house nightmare from Eli Roth.
The project has been on the radar for a while, with Snoop already attached as a producer through Death Row Films and handling the soundtrack. Now Roth has confirmed that Snoop isn’t just shaping the movie from the sidelines. He’s stepping directly into the madness as an on-screen lead.
Roth revealed the news while speaking at the Bvlgari Eternal Vimini party at the luxury jewelry house’s Rodeo Drive flagship, explaining how the collaboration finally locked into place.
“He’s been wanting to do Death Row Films for a long time. I said we need to make the ultimate haunted house movie, like the craziest one, something that mixes ‘House,’ ‘House by the Cemetery,’ ‘Hausu’ and ‘Friday, the 13th,’ like something so insane people can’t believe it exists. And we gave to call it, ‘Don’t Go in That House, Bitch!’ And he’s and he’s going to star in it.”
The film leans hard into the classic horror movie frustration that fans know all too well. The title says it all, and Roth explained the concept is built around that exact feeling of yelling at the screen while characters make the worst possible decisions.
“People keep going in the house. People don’t listen. What are you doing, bitch? Don’t go in that house. People just keep going in. Like, what are you doing? You’re not going to come out of there. Don’t do it. Turn around. Leave! It’s basically everything that we yell at the screen during horror movies. You put those as characters in the movie like a Greek chorus.”
Roth already dropped a fake trailer for the movie back in August, and he’s now finished the script after wrapping it up over the holidays. Casting beyond Snoop hasn’t been announced yet, but production is moving forward with a planned start this June.
“We’re budgeting now,” Roth said. “I’m going to apply for the California tax credit. If I get the tax credit, I want to shoot it in Los Angeles so we can have all L.A. people on it.”
Snoop’s also contributing music to Roth’s next film, Ice Cream Man. According to Roth, Snoop surprised him by delivering something far outside the expected lane.
“He sent me some score — not hip-hop, but actual score. I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is incredible.’…So we have a whole section of the movie that’s completely scored by Snoop.”
On top of that, Snoop also wrote an “Ice Cream Man” song that Roth is hoping to use during the end credits.
Roth previously directed Snoop’s 2012 “La La La” music video, and this new run of projects feels like a natural evolution of that partnership, just dialed way up into horror.
Roth also shared a quick update on the long-awaited sequel to his 2023 hit Thanksgiving. Production has been pushed back due to scheduling conflicts, with Addison Rae currently on tour and Milo Manheim signing on to topline the live-action adaptation of Tangled.
“Everybody wants to do it. I’m gonna have it locked and loaded, and we’ll find a time when we’re all available,” Roth said. “We’ll just go back for a few weeks and have fun.”
For now, all eyes are on Don’t Go in That House, Bitch! and it will be interesting to see if Roth delivers on his promise of an over-the-top haunted house movie that is completely unhinged.
