House
William Katt stars in this 1980s horror/comedy as Roger Cobb, a writer who has just split from his wife and is looking to complete a novel about his experiences in Vietnam. In order to work in peace, Roger moves into his aunt’s old house, which she left to him after committing suicide, apparently after a bout with mental illness. However, Roger quickly learns that his aunt’s suicide was probably the result of the strange forces at work inside her house, forces which begin giving Roger terrible and very real nightmares about his past. Soon, Roger has become convinced that his long dead son is somehow trapped within the house, and he prepares to find an entryway into the house’s bizarre supernatural energy.
Created by 80s horror gurus Sean S. Cunningham and Steve Miner, House is an 80s horror classic that seems to have become completely forgotten. It is a genuinely creepy movie that traumatized me as a child and continues to fascinate me now. I can’t even begin to count the times I checked the ceiling in my closet for holes or peeked behind the door of the medicine cabinet in the old farmhouse I grew up in. House certainly provides new reasons to fear big old houses.
