1977 Japanese horror movie by Nobuhiko Obayashi and considered the [[Spiritual Predecessor]] to ''[[Army of Darkness|The Evil Dead]]'', ''Hausu'' is the story of seven girls who decide to go to the country home belonging to the aunt of one of them, when all their summer vacation plans fall apart. Strange things begin to happen as it seems that evil forces are at work to [[Kill'Em All]]. It can be best described as a drug-addled [[David Lynch]]'s version of an even more colourfulcolorful ''[[Suspiria]]'' remake.
 
It was released in North America in 2009 as ''House''. Not to be confused with the other horror movie ''[[House (film)|House]]'', or that ''other'' [[House (TV series)|House]], or [[House of Cards (British series)|Cards]], or [[House of Leaves|Leaves]].

{{tropelist}}
=== Included: ===
 
* [[Agent Mulder]] and [[Agent Scully]]: Fanta and Prof., respectively.
* [[And That's Terrible]]: During the piano scene, Melody's disembodied head shows up to comment on how "naughty" and "indecent" the situation is.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Auntie}}
* [[Badass]]: Kung-Fu.
* [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode]]: Really, it's basically a BLAM ''movie''. Although, the partially animated and poorly green screened montage in the beginning, set to an overly cheerful ''English language'' song is probably the most inexplicable.
* [[Butt Biter]]: Mac's head
* [[Cats Are Mean|Cats Are Evil Incarnate]]: That fucking cat...
* {{spoiler|[[Dead All Along]]: Auntie}}.
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: {{spoiler|Auntie}}
* [[Death Byby Sex]]: {{spoiler|Inverted. Had the girls ''had'' sex, they wouldn't have been in danger}}.
* [[Dem Bones]]: There's a doctor's skeleton hanging around; it occasionally dances for some reason. It's there because Auntie's Dad/Oshare's Grandpa used to treat patients there. So the haunted house is technically also an [[Abandoned Hospital]]. That's...that's super.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: {{spoiler|Oshare}}
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* [[Medium Blending]]: Animation is used throughout the film in place of a lot of special effects, due to its low budget (and being the 70s and all).
* [[Mind Screw]]: There are pianos and lampshades (no no, not ''[[Lampshade Hanging|that]]'' [[Lampshade Hanging|kind]]) and ''bedsheets''. And they ''attack people''.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: ''Every character'' in this movie has a [[Meaningful Name|nickname]].
* [[Right-Hand-Cat]]: Shiro, to Auntie; Really, [[Too Dumb to Live|people should have known something was up when the cat that walked in on Oshare when she was writing to her Aunt turned out to belong to said Aunt]].
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode|Sort of]].
* [[Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror]]: Sliding crazily all through the movie.
* [[Surreal Horror]]: Woo ''boy''.
