Benton House

The Benton House is a private residence in an historic neighborhood in Circle City, once owned by Rex Benton.

The Benton House is actually a real home in the historic Irvington neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN. It served as one of the key shooting locations for J.P. Leck's short film, The Novelty.

The Novelty
After receiving a mysterious invitation, Violet (referred to as 'the Novelty') visits the home of the recently deceased Rex Benton (referred to as 'the Stranger'), where she finds a mysterious tome amid a number of ethereal-looking 'trophies'. Taking the book, she reads its contents and becomes the next to take up the mantle of 'The Novelty.'

The Red Mass
While meeting with cemetery groundskeeper Ryan Tolliver, Violet recounts the circumstances under which she found the manuscript she constantly carries.

The Pollydores
After happening upon a mysterious hidden alcove containing a book within the master bedroom of the Tetrick Estate, real estate agent Margot recounts a similar room within "the Benton property," for which her company had the listing. She also recalls meeting Benton's brother who was boxing up the ephemera of 'trophies' within the room.
