My Top 5 Haunted House Movies

When I was young, I wanted to find a haunted house. We (kids) would search the entire town to find that creepy house.

Lucky for us, we never found one. But these flicks kept inspiring me to find a house of ghouls... You know, I probably needed therapy as a child.

But anywho, here are my top 5 inspiring haunted house movies

Burnt Offerings - love the voice of the announcer


The Amityville Horror - I actually went to the house


House


The Shining


The Hearse - so creepy

For 1.15 Million, you can live in the House of Hell

The Amityville house is for sale and if you have 1.15 million to spare, it's yours.

This house is listed as a "legendary home," and on Halloween, people come from all over just to stare at the house.

As y'all remember, I went to this house during my NYC trip. It's truly something to see. The people who owned the home after George and Kathleen Lutz (the family who left the house from weird happenings) lived their for years and didn't see any ghosts or demons.

So the home should be normal... Hopefully.

I went to the REAL Amityville Horror House!

In the tail end of my NYC vacation, we went to my partner's brother's house in Long Island.

While we were drinking wine and chillin' one night, I realized we were very close to Amityville. It took some convincing of my partner (he was scared), but he joined me on a journey to the original house of horror.

Now, if you are not aware of The Amityville Horror, go here. Anywho, we jumped in the car and went to the house.

You can see I was very excited.

We also went back in the daytime.

I wished I actually saw something... yes, I know I'm creepy.

Remakes Shemakes: I Spit on Your Grave and The Amityville Horror (Again?)

More Remake madness in the Horror world.

First, I Spit on Your Grave
It's a cult classic and should be left alone. However, others feel differently, Shock to You Drop said:

There were rumblings a few months back that shooting had begun on a remake of Meir Zarchi's version with Steven R. Monroe (It Waits) behind the camera to direct for CinTel Films. Now, IMDB (via Arrow In The Head) uncovered a list of the full cast for the feature which Anchor Bay Entertainment is co-producing.

Sarah Butler, Chad Lindberg, Daniel Franzese, Rodney Eastman, Jeff Branson, Saxon Sharbino, Amber Dawn Landrum and Andrew Howard all star in the update of I Spit On Your Grave.

The next one is... The Amityville Horror. Yes, ANOTHER remake of this movie. BD Horror had this to say:

I just finished wiping away the tears of laughter as I just discovered that the Weinstein Company and Dimension Films are planning on remaking The Amityville Horror...again. Andrew Douglas directed the 2005 reboot produced by Platinum Dunes that grossed over $100m at the box office worldwide. I guess five years in the new 25? Our sources also tell us that there just might be a director already in talks to develop the project. Knowing Dimension Films, I'd expect this project to start and stop at least a dozen times before it ultimately fails. Alas horror fiends, don't stress it no matter how idiotic this sounds.

I'm not feeling these choices, but I might check out I Spit on Your Grave because Rodney Eastman is in it. He was Joey in Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and 4. So cute.
