Line 47:

* ''[[The Changeling (film)|The Changeling]]'' from 1980 features George C. Scott moving into a house that is haunted by {{spoiler|the ghost of a crippled child who was drowned in the bathtub by his father.}}

* Played straight and {{spoiler|Inverted}} in ''[[The Others (film)|The Others]]'' starring [[Nicole Kidman]]. {{spoiler|The house is haunted, but by the main characters, who don't realize that they're dead.}}

* [[The Grudge]] and [[~~Juon~~]] series

* [[The Grudge]] and [[Ju-On]] series

Line 59:

{{quote|No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.}}

* Matheson's [[Hell House]] rivals Shirley Jackson's Hill House.

* In ''[[Myth Adventures]]'' Skeeve received from the natives (Deveels), notoriously canny businessmen, a big house on Deva as a part of a deal. Why do they give him a cheap house? It has a back door that leads to the [[~~Uberwald~~]]-like vampire dimension.

** {{spoiler|And the ''native vampires'' avoid it as haunted. Some even say they saw ''[[Humans Are Cthulhu|humans]]'' there -- just imagine it!}}

* The Shrieking Shack in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series. Arguably, Sirius Black's house as well.

Line 129:

* In the second ''[[No More Heroes]]'' game, Travis fights Matt Helms, a ghost kid who haunts his creepy, abandoned house, complete with a graveyard on the front lawn.

* The entirety of ''[[Sweet Home (video game)|Sweet Home]]'' takes place in one of these, referred to as a "House of Residing Evil."

* Draynor Manor in ''[[~~Runescape~~]]''. The front doors refuse to open from the inside, the grounds are filled with dead trees (some of which can and will lash out and attack), the eyes in paintings frequently follow the player... As do ''chairs''. This is not to mention, of course, the fact that the manor happens to be owned by a vampyre...

* The entire setting of the first ''[[Nightmare House]]'' fan game.

* ''[[Shining the Holy Ark]]'' has a massive sprawling mansion in the middle of a graveyard where the powerful being Galm lives. The house has seen much better days. Seeing how Galm was only released from [[Sealed Badass in a Can|imprisonment]] you do have to wonder who built such a massive house (which is bigger than the King's castle) and why it was abandoned.
