   • The Innocents (1961) Crafting the perfect haunted house is a magic trick. For The Innocents, most of what you see of Bly Manor exists on the sound stages within Shepperton Studios, while a facade was constructed on the lot.
   • The Others (2001) You don’t need direct sunlight to be able to see that the old manor in The Others is one of horror’s best decrepit houses. It’s got all the hallmarks of a spooky English estate: rolling fog, stuffy furniture, and vast, unexplored corridors.
   • House (1985) House is a haunted mansion flick with more on its mind than creaky floorboards and things that go bump in the night. The supernatural elements serve as a metaphor for PTSD, though the film is packed with too much humor to work as a truly effective examination of the condition.
   • The Old Dark House (1932) When trapped in a thunderstorm, any potential shelter should come with relief. Of course, not if that shelter is the Femm estate with its Boris Karloff butler and family of mysterious psychotics huddled within.

   Filmed and set in England, Tom Poston stars as a hapless American who, on a visit to a curious roommate's even curiouser family home, is caught up in a murderous merry-go-round of mayhem, nursery rhymes, love and (very possibly) the end of the world (including an Ark!).

   What is a dark house movie?

   • The dreams found within soured into nightmares and the guests who dare to cross their thresholds fare about as well as any unwanted cockroach. These buildings are shocking structures designed by filmmakers to cement their desired dreads. Spooky old dark house movies are a dime a dozen, but too often their foundations lack character.

   Was the old dark house a'movie of the day' in 1963?

   Is the old dark house based on a true story?

   • The Old Dark House was based on a J B Priestley novel, which the author intended as a social commentary on the British class structure following World War 1. Whale stops short of preaching any overt political message, but his film does seem to have a satirical tinge that is directed against these bizarre wealthy people.
