ghostphoria Posted December 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I would like to ask people about their favorite fictional haunted houses on TV and in movies. As movies, I would say my favorites are The Haunting (1963 version) and The Others. On TV, I would say The Ghosts of Motley Hall (a children's UK TV series from the '70s), and The Stalls of Barchester (the first of the BBC's Ghost Story for Christmas strand, also from the '70s). How about you? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer77 Posted December 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Another one I think is really underrated too It feels like a house in the movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostphoria Posted December 3, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I actually watched the start of The Innkeepers but was put off from watching the rest by a comment I happened to read. This said that the ghosts were just hallucinations seen by the (mentally disturbed) heroine. However, I then read another comment which claimed that there's a brief shot at the end of the film which proves the ghosts are real. Are the ghosts real or not (or is it left undecided)?

I have a terrible memory so I apologize if im wrong but I dont recall ever thinking they werent real and dont recall mental illness either. Physical health does play a role in the movie but I really dont recall mental health. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerBright19 Posted December 3, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Love a good comedy set in a haunted house. Hilarious scene from 'Ghosts'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostphoria Posted December 4, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I watched the BBC "Ghosts" series and found it very entertaining. It's similar in a way to The Ghosts of Motley Hall, except more for adults rather than children. I'm a big fan of the traditional haunted house trope. Being British, If the house in question is an old manor somewhere in the UK, then that gets a few extra brownie points straight away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcgram Posted December 12, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I loved watching The Haunting (1963) but I have to say The Haunted Palace with Vincent Price is my all-time favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted December 14, 2019 #13 Share Posted December 14, 2019 It's gotta be the Overlook Hotel. Not entirely fictional, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
