There’s kind of an (un)natural connection between real estate and horror. After all, ghosts haunt houses, you’re basically homebound when you’re possessed by demons and in need of an exorcism, and vampires need stability to avoid the sun day in and day out.
As a huge horror fan myself, I can’t help but take notice when new content pops up that’s worth a scream, and this year, some new (dead-on) arrivals have caught my attention. Below, you’ll find a few eerie-sistable watches with, you guessed it, real estate at the center. And for funsies, Inman staffers have taken a stab at creating a must-watch list to get you in the mood for Halloween.
By no means is this a comprehensive list, and we didn’t mention every single movie in a franchise, but we did try to include a screaming, I mean, streaming platform where we could.
