Filmed in the historic Strauss Mansion in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey from February-March 1979, Don't Go in the House was released one year later in the spring of 1980, and was met with sharp criticism from film critics due to its graphic depictions of violence, particularly a sequence in which the protagonist burns a nude woman alive with a flamethrower.
