House of Dust is a 2013 supernatural thriller film directed by A.D. Calvo.[1] A.D. Calvo was inspired to write the story in 2005 upon reading a New York Times article about the cremation of Oregon's long-forgotten mentally ill.[2]

Plot

College students exploring an abandoned insane asylum accidentally shatter canisters holding the cremains of former mental patients; inhaling the dusty ash filling the air, they’re soon possessed by the souls once held within them. One is a convicted serial killer from 1950.

Production

The film was shot in Willimantic, Connecticut and Mansfield, Connecticut at the Mansfield Training School and Hospital during the summer of 2011. In the film's official trailer, the Knight Hospital building at the Mansfield Training School is shown. However, the building itself is condemned and filming took place in nearby Dimock Hall, which served as a dormitory for staff.
