THE HOUSE IN WINDSOR is a documentary short uncovering the story of Henry Olsen: Colorado's most vicious serial killer. During the 1960s, Olsen kidnapped, raped, and murdered 13 female college students with the help of four others. Even though these crimes were horrific and gruesome, they have been all but forgotten.
Find out why you've never heard of The Windsor Five. See what was discovered the day police raided the house and what still remains there to this day.
Directed by Jimmy Weber and produced by Annie Baker, THE HOUSE IN WINDSOR is a story that will never be forgotten again.
About the film
I love horror films so, of course, I love haunted houses during Halloween season. My friend Josh and I were at a haunted house in Windsor that was supposedly the real thing. We had a good time but didn't think much of it until a couple weeks later I heard it was shut down because it actually was formally a crime scene and the city didn't like the exploitation. I did a little digging and found one of the craziest serial killer stories I've ever heard.We don't make documentaries here at Pretty People Pictures, but this was too good to pass up: rape, murder, cults, suicide pacts, haunted houses, police cover ups! Count us in!
Making the film
Making a documentary about something no one has ever heard of is pretty tricky, so we had to go right to the source. Robert, the owner of the house was really cool. He wanted his side of the story to be heard so he let us come to the house and do as many interviews as we wanted. Luckily Carol was just finishing up her novel My Sister's Killer which covers the same topic. She provided us with a lot of information we had never heard and even more freaky stories.The hardest person to get on camera was Richard, a retired police detective. Not only did he move out of the state, but the last thing he wanted to do was talk about the most gruesome case he ever investigated in a 30+ year career. It took a lot of phone calls and a little begging, but once he realized we were serious, he agreed to meet with us and was a great guy. A very special thanks goes to out to the Colorado State University Alumni Association for providing us with some much needed photos of the Windsor Five.
