Producer Steven Schneider struck gold in 2009 with Paranormal Activity, but that story of sudden success turned into a dark saga of drug use and frayed relationships. He talks about the fallout and tells Kim Masters how he went from teaching film theory at Harvard to producing horror in Hollywood. Schneider’s latest project is The Houses October Built, a micro-budget Halloween-themed horror movie about a group of friends on an RV trip to explore extreme haunted houses.
