Stephen Cognetti is an American director and writer known for the Hell House LLC franchise of found footage films.

Early life

Cognetti was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania,[1] and raised in Pennsylvania. He attended Temple University, where he studied film.[2]

Career

He released the first Hell House LLC film in 2015 with the intention of making a trilogy of movies, as he saw the initial three films as a single story split into three parts.[3] Cognetti would later expand the original story with a fourth film that served as both a sequel and prequel, Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor, in 2023. In 2025, Cognetti released his first non-found footage film, 825 Forest Road.[4] A fifth and final entry in the series, Hell House LLC: Lineage, was released in 2025.[5]
