#16 House

There are several movies and a TV show called 'House'. I like the 80s horror movie version and it's not-quite-about-the-same-thing sequel. This almost turned into a franchise except for the ill-fated third installment that had nothing to do with the rest of the series and wasn't even distributed  in America as part of it. Then they made House IV. Weird. Oh, well. The first two are good.

I watch this one almost every year. It's just one of those 80s horror movies that has the essential elements that I need. No-name actor in the lead, so he could die. Television actors as the nosey neighbor and the villain, giving it their all. Ghosts, possessions, monsters in the closet, Vietnam flashbacks, a catchy 80s soundtrack, hot babes, floating garden tools, what more could you possibly ask for?
