Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
House is a 1985 American comedy horror film directed by Steve Miner, with a screenplay by Ethan Wiley, from an original story written by Fred Dekker. Produced by Sean S. Cunningham, the film is the first installment in the House film series, and stars William Katt, George Wendt, Richard Moll, and Kay Lenz. The film centers on Roger Cobb, a troubled author who moves into his late aunt Elizabeth Hooper's seemingly haunted house, and is forced to deal with supernatural phenomena. All the while, he tries to solve the mystery of his son Jimmy's disappearance. Despite mixed reviews, House grossed $22.1 million worldwide on a $3 million budget, making it a financial success. The film has since gone on to become a cult favorite among genre fans, and was followed by three sequels. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
