Buy Low! ‘Amityville Horror’ and ‘Haunted Mansion’ Horror Houses FOR SALE!

These are the days I wish I were filthy rich.

Just in time for Halloween, the owners of the home made famous in the spooky 1970s film The Amityville Horror are dramatically slashing the asking price on their Toms River, New Jersey, colonial, which was used for exteriors in the film, reports CNN. The decision wasn’t triggered by demonic activity, however. Apparently, another frightening “D” word was to blame. “My husband and I are getting a divorce,” said Odalys Fragoso, who bought the house with her husband Jose Fragoso in 2001. “It’s not that the house is haunted or anything. We had wonderful times in that house.” The couple purchased the house for $795,000. Originally listed last year at $1.45 million, the four-bedroom, three-bath home is now going for $955,000 — a bargain, according to the agent. “If there were a curse on it, I wouldn’t be in it,” joked Donna Walesiewicz, the broker selling the 3,370-square-foot residence. “It is what it is, a nice old stately home.” Continue reading over at CNN.

Or, would you rather live in an exact replica of Disneyland and Disneyworld’s “Haunted Mansion”?

Theme Park Connection, a company that specializes in selling rare Disney collectibles, has posted the 10,000-square-foot-home in Duluth, GA, for $873,000 on eBay, says THR. The four-story, seven bedrooms, six bath mansion was custom-built to the dimensions and architectural structure of Disney’s ride attraction. Owner and designer Mark Hurt, who is also a Disney contractor, included a matching children’s playhouse, a hot tub, a two-story library, an elevator shaft, and in-law/nanny suite. Hurt even used the same foundry as Walt Disney to make the hand-welded iron railings of the balconies. One of the bathrooms is supposed to give that “haunted” effect. When the faucet turns on, the lights flicker and dim as a skeleton appears in the mirror, and the ride’s music and voiceover echos on for a “spooky” time.

Watch the video below to see if the Disney-inspired house is worth the price tag.

Heather Langenkamp Still Hopes to Return for One More ‘Elm Street’ Movie

Published

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Franchise icon Heather Langenkamp has made it no secret over the years that she’d love to play Nancy Thompson in another A Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Langenkamp of course played the fan favorite role in the original classic as well as sequel Dream Warriors, and she later returned to the franchise for the final time as herself in Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.

Is it time for a legacy sequel, now that’s it been 40 years since the franchise debuted?

Speaking at a recent Q&A event hosted by Nightmare on Film Street, Heather Langenkamp made it clear that her interest in playing the role one more time hasn’t waned over the years.

In my imagination, I have several legacy sequels happening at the same time,” Langenkamp told the crowd of Elm Street fans. “She’s a great character. How could you say no?”

I just need somebody to get that off the ground,” Langenkamp adds. “Especially considering Nightmare on Elm Street part 7, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. I do think there’s a lot of really great opportunities for new and excellent battles still to come.”

Iconic final girls including Laurie Strode, Sidney Prescott, and even Sally Hardesty have been brought back to the screen for legacy sequels in recent years, and seeing Nancy Thompson one final time would seem to be a natural response to that trend. Nancy was of course killed off in Dream Warriors back in the 1980s, but death sure never stopped Laurie Strode.

The big question, of course, is whether or not Robert Englund would agree to play Freddy Krueger again. In recent years, Englund has made it pretty clear that he feels his days of donning the burn makeup are probably behind him, but we’ve learned to never say never when it comes to stuff like this. Would you like to see one final battle between Freddy and Nancy?

Or would you rather the Elm Street franchise return with a fresh approach?
