After finding immense success with The Haunting Of Hill House and The Haunting Of Bly Manor, creator Mike Flanagan recently discussed the potential return of the anthology series. Though it sounds unlikely there will be a new installment until there's a good ghost story, Redditors have been discussing the best horror movies about haunted houses.

The ghosts come out at night in these spooky movies with curious noises and chilling pianos playing without musicians. Whether the house is built on a cemetery or changes its own blueprint to confuse visitors, these horror movies have the best haunted houses.

It may be an animated movie, but some fans think Monster House is one of the best haunted house movies. In it, the house comes to life, taking on monstrous characteristics as it terrorizes children.

Redditor silverback55 explains the movie is “fantastic and actually scary; even though it’s a kids movie.” But Monster House may not be entirely for young children. The house eats people, including the babysitter’s boyfriend, and the children aim to kill the house’s heart. Full of ghosts, death, and a house that physically chases children, the movie is surprisingly violent. It may not be a horror movie, but is still a fun, haunted house movie.

The Changeling (1980)

The Changeling follows a composer who moves into a long-vacant home and begins to experience supernatural events. From apparitions of a drowned child to a séance, the movie has surprising twists and enough atmospheric tension to keep the audience entertained and on edge without gore.

Redditor Okama_G_Sphere writes how the film leaves them with “goosebumps for days.” The Changeling is a chilling psychological horror movie with added revenge and politics with suspense that builds to a highly satisfying climax. The imposing house is the key character in this haunted house horror movie.

Poltergeist (1982)

A family is terrorized by ghosts in Poltergeist. As one movie that traumatized Redditors, the movie is classic ‘80s horror. In the classic story, developers may have moved the headstones, but they never moved the bodies before building the family's house, resulting in supernatural forces overtaking the home.

Redditor DrDrangleBrungis writes that Poltergeist is “at the top in my opinion.” With a tree that comes to life, a child kidnapped by unseen forces, a possessed clown doll, and a pool for of corpses, viewers will remain on the edge of their seats. The most unsettling detail is how the house is new construction, not an old, spooky looking home.

A deleted Redditor user writes, “it’s one of my all-time favorites.” It lacks quality jump scares but leans heavily on the characters questioning reality. There is blood and gore with the spirits being introduced as well as fully fleshed-out characters. Fans of haunted house movies shouldn’t skip Rose Red.

The Innkeepers (2011)

Stream On Peacock

the innkeepers movie ti west

The Innkeepers follows two employees trying to document supernatural occurrences at the Yankee Pedlar Inn. Written and directed by Ti West, the inn is real and the story is based on alleged paranormal activities.

Redditor mwmani writes, “That movie is a great slow burn.” Between a haunted basement, a bride who hung herself on the altar, and an elderly man who dies by suicide in a bathtub, The Innkeepers has a small cast, making it easier for character development. The story builds on a realistic fear of creepy basements but adds a deliberately slow pace to disarm the audience.

Winchester (2018)

Stream On Prime Video

Sarah Winchester (Helen Mirren) believes her house is haunted by people killed by Winchester rifles in Winchester. The house is under constant construction with doors that lead nowhere and confusing staircases to confuse the spirits.

Redditor haunthorror claims the movie is “better than the reviews make it out to be,” so haunted house fans shouldn’t sleep on the film. Winchester is a fictional take on real history and the Winchester Mystery House. Leaning more on atmospheric uneasiness and jump scares with no gore, the acting is phenomenal alongside the psychological story.

The Others (2001)

Nicole Kidman in The Others

Psychological horror movie The Others is an unexpected haunted house story. Starring Nicole Kidman, a woman hires new servants to care for her children and home. When strange occurrences begin, she questions her sanity and believes the home to be haunted.

Redditor TheItalianJob1969 writes the movie is “more a ghost story and less a haunted house.” The Others has a twist that compells one to watch it twice, as it may take a few watches to understand completely. The atmosphere is dark and moody, not relying on gore to tell a satisfying story.

Redditor LOOTENITDAYAN enjoys the movie for the “cool ghosts.” The ghosts are the real stars of the movie, including a man in a straitjacket with a head cage who perished in a psychiatric facility fire and a serial killer covered in bullet holes who ripped apart hitchhikers with his bare hands. The story is on the slower side, but the glass home is a work of art and the ghosts add to the jump scares.

Crimson Peak (2015)

Stream On Netflix

Crimson Peak Scene

Guillermo del Toro’s gothic romance Crimson Peak chronicles an author’s ghostly visions when she moves into a new home with her husband and his sister. Though it is less of a pure horror movie, the broody atmosphere and beautiful gothic home add to the story.

Redditor azazelbee writes the film is “gothica at its finest.” With a female villain at the helm, Crimson Peak stands apart from traditional horror. It’s a mystery that the main character and the audience must solve. The relationships between characters is a larger focal point with the ghosts playing supporting roles. The twist in the story will satisfy horror fans.

House Of The Long Shadows (1983)

The comedy horror film House Of The Long Shadows finds an author seek out a deserted mansion to write his next novel only to find more and more visitors show up for a strange family reunion. Combing the talents of Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, John Carradine, and Christopher Lee, the movie has more twists and turns than a rollercoaster.

Redditor andgrim138 writes it is a “pretty creepy early 80s movie.” The setting is unnerving and the characters even more so, complete with traditional horror tropes like locked rooms and stormy nights. Fans of classic horror will appreciate House of the Long Shadows.
