Any of the Haunted Mansions/Houses in Pokemon that have ghost-type Pokemon (but especially not the one from Pokemon Ruby). Sure, I'll stop in to catch a Rotom, but I don't want to live there despite how huge the Mansion is and being able to have a ghost-butler doing things for me!
The mountain mansion in twilight princess. Only accessable by snowboards, falling apart, full of live ammunition and still working cannons (an accident just waiting to happen) while overrun with monsters! The cook there makes excellent soup though.
How about the House in Hello Neighbor? You'd need a GPS, a the puzzle solving skills of Professot Layton and the psyshical appptiude of a jungle cat just to get into the washroom. And the less said about the basement the better.
Well, clearly Lara's mother died when she was a child, her father got remarried to his deceased wife's sister. Thereby allowing Lara to inherit it both from her Aunt and her parents. See, nothin' weird going on here... just... marrying the in-laws... like ya do...
BrentD5000 Meh old families used to do that all the time. It was mostly done to keep the money in the family (especially if/when a dowry was involved). I believe even the Bible stated that rule about a man marrying his sister-in-law should his wife die.
@@EonStormcrow I believe you mean the one about a woman marrying her deceased husband's brother if they both agree and the first marriage had no children.
I'm surprised there was no mention of Roivas Manor from Eternal Darkness. Zombies, portals to other dimensions, A book bound in human skin that makes you revisit the memories of others who read it, that vampire who keeps eating the staff, and let's not forget the fact that the basement is a lost city of lovecraftian horror. Also, the Avocado/home-ownership joke, this is why Ellen is my favorite.
It is one of the prettiest homes I've ever seen depicted in any medium, and as long as you were Alex, the worst you'd have to deal with was the occasional horrifying hallucination. Just... don't go down into the subbasement, and don't read that creepy book, and everything'd be just great!
The cabin from Until Dawn comes to mind. The basement is full of traps, scares, and access to creepy mines. On top of that the wendigo neighbors aren't exactly the friendliest group of individuals
Yeah, and it's located on top of a mountain that can only be accessed by cable car, what a total inconvenience. That and the fact it's literally built on sacred Indian ground... really it's more trouble than it's worth.
Let's not talk about the mansion in Amnesia... I mean we're talking about a place who's inhabitants include an invisible water monster. HOW ABOUT NO. 😭😭
"Lost in the Outsider's Eyes" Jar. Good to see that you're getting your problem under control Ellen. Who knows what the Outsider will do with your heart?

The Sims. What kind of monster traps people in a room with no food, doors and next to a fireplace and wooden furniture? ME. I mean think about it, the sims think this is too good be true , when suddenly, they're just thrown into the player's sick murder fantasy. :)
I built a pool for mine... then I walked them in and removed the ladder.... the idiots never saw it coming! Moral of the story? Never trust a pool that magically appears in your back yard.
I was in my youth a cruel god, I found every way imaginable to kill and torture my sims just for my own amusement. Now in my boomer years my sims live a fairly peaceful and occasionally adventurous life as unkillable unaging immortals.
Who wants a house where you have to swim to every room ? Everyone ! That sounds awesome to have multiple indoor pools until you are forced to swim no matter what.
The Pickman Gallery isn't so bad. I mean, it's definitely a fixer-upper, but a day with a rented dumpster and a month or two of weekend painting should remove the worst of its quirks. If it's in a good neighborhood, it's definitely worth the work! ...Oh, right, post-apocalypse. That tends to reduce property values a bit, doesn't it? Local schools probably aren't up to snuff, either.
I'd think so, the Fallout franchise has many references to Lovecraft throughout the series going all the way back to before it was acquired by Bethesda.
Pickmans Gallery seems like a decent house to me. Free signed artwork, multiple storeys and a bad enough reputation that you won't get attacked by raiders too often.
Plus there's no rent, it's warm, and you can use Pickman to get rid of those pesky raiders. And there's two beds, if you count the two pushed together.
Chateau d'Onterre in Dragon Age Inquisition always gives me the creeps. Its full of corpses and the fires start burning by themselves as you walk near. Codex entries you find tells the story behind it - a father tried to bribe a Templar because his daughter was a mage and he wanted to uphold his family name. He kept throwing parties in the house (which presumably his daughter wasnt invited to) and one day the girl befriended a demon and they decided to improve a party by having everyone dance themselves to death... and then the guests became possessed corpses. The demon suggested to try more 'games' which involved possession. The girl became an Arcane Horror which you fight at the end of the quest. Not nightmare-inducing at all, nooooooo :P
If it hasn't been said already: the hotel from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Creepy, haunted, and a bit burnt down in spots so renovating will be very expensive.
You'd think Ellen would be able to afford the most opulent mansion with all the money she puts away from the outsider jar. Damn you avocados, you ruin everything! Salads, burritos AND home ownership!
This might be a relatively old video, but it's worth mentioning the Chateau d'Onterre, from DA: Inquisition. Exploring the Emerald Graves and stumbling upon the Chateau was great. It might not be that scary, but I got chills when I first went in and one of my companions said "It knows we're here". It's pretty cool exploring and uncovering the disaster behind the "haunting".
I would like to nominate 609 King's Way from Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines. Creepy critters? Check. Wallpapers made from human flesh? Check. Creepy Tzimisce vampire living in the basement, who is responsible for the above? *Check*
The Anvil Lighthouse from Oblivion, there is a Dark Brotherhood Assassin living in the cellar with his mothers decapitated and rotting head. Plus there are few dead bodies down there as well.
Maybe, just stay away from Anvil. The priests did get murdered that one time under the nose of the city guard. A known master thief squatting in one of the houses there for years. There was a gang of women that went out luring out men and mugging them. A ship full of people were also murdered, and now haunt the place. A lady that kept a lot of giant, pet rats in her basement. It got sacked by Elven supremacists around 30 years prior to when Skyrim starts. How could anyone feel safe in this city?
Seconded! And you were lured into it with a great deal! It's a decent and cheap house until all the ghosts wake you up in the middle of the night and attack you. I did however enjoy obsessively hunting down all the coppies of the Mythic Dawn Commentaries cult books and sealing them in the secret lich room in the basement.
What about Hjerim in Skyrim? It was the scene of a terrible murder by a creepy serial killer and you'll have trouble pronouncing your address, making deliveries a nightmare. Deliver it to Windhelm, house name.... herjim to hedgrim... to the murder house
Honestly, I'm not comfortable in my own house. I mean I got this subscriber electric fence from you guys and now these monsters keep appearing and trying to get inside?!
for the record, the manor in Dishonored 2 mansion was amazing before stiltion went insane, so yes i CAN imagine people wanting to live there, as it was nice
"Any houses with wing is going to be lit"? Really? I can't believe you missed the chance to say "any houses with wings is going to be FLY". Honestly oxtra I had more faith in you.
Yeah but it's in a swamp and most of its dilapidated. It would probably be easier and cheaper just to bulldoze the damned thing as well as the surrounding swamp, just to make sure the mold problems taken care of. On top of that you'd have to consider the fact the neighbors all probably have mold problems too. Besides, you don't really want to be one of those creepy swamp people, do you?
How about The Abandoned House in Markarth in Skyrim... I mean. it's haunted like whoa. But you can have it if you do a bunch of stuff for a Daedric Prince... And like... Yeah. I mean. Who would do that? Not MY character... Or at least... not my current one... (Like, maybe my last three did. But not this new one! ... yet.)
And another thing... What about, like, ANY home in The Sims? I mean, at any point your bathroom could vanish right when you need it most or the ladder leading out of your pool causing mass drownings at your holiday cookout. How does that construction company stay in business? I'll tell you how. Nobody who owns one of their homes, nor ANY of their friends and family, is left alive.
Also, on the subject of "haunted plus crazy puzzles to navigate" let's talk about 7th Guest shall we? There was that puzzle with the heart and the pipes and the reward for setting it to the correct configuration was a pool of blood spreading across the floor. And another one where you have to watch the ghost of an old lady getting really upset at her inability to... organize some soup cans to her satisfaction. So the only way to put her spirit to rest is to find the missing can so the pantry can be perfectly organized. ... and on top of it all, the owner of the house was a CREEPY TOYMAKER THAT MADE CREEPY TOYS THAT KILLED CHILDREN.
AND ANOTHER THING about homes in Skyrim! Let's talk about Hearthfire and the dubious wisdom of choosing Windstad Manor in Hjaalmarch as your home, particularly if you've adopted children. Firstly, your kids are afraid all the time and they say so. I mean sure, you get a fish hatchery, but trolls and undead are always trampling on your outdoor garden! Lakeview is MUCH better... I mean sure, there's the occasional giant that shows up. But the kids never complain about it. They just get to work, attacking the giant in close quarters combat with the improved, vampiric, toy swords I gave them! We kill those giants together. Me, Meeko, my kids, my Steward, and my werewolf husband. Quality family time.
I agree with all of your points! As someone who has owned both manors in Skyrim I know how it works. Of course the things that irritates me is when the giants kill my lifestalk. It really is quality bonding time killing said giants when you have shadowmere, two sons, a wife, and a crazy companion in the form of Cisero.
Andy Mcp And even so, the dead don't stay like that very long. To have houseguests, you'd have to hand them a weapon like a knife or gun. (At the doorway) Here you go. We have a glock or an icepick. Sorry, I can't give you the usually machete. Why? Jason's here that's why.
Don't forget Blackhall Manor from Fallout 3's Point Look Out DLC. Not only is it a creepy Victorian manor shrouded by more fog than HP Lovecraft could shake a tentacle at, but it also (surprise!) has a secret ritual room tucked neatly away in the basement. And if you can somehow get past all that, there's the ominous old man living alone there that'd like for you to track down an other worldly book of unspeakable evil. Presumably to really tie together that ritual room.
I'm have to say the Roivas mansion in Eternal Darkness is pretty nasty. Being full of ghosts and built over a hole to an ancient city full of cthulhu-esque horrors is probably something the estate agents leave out when selling that place
Jindosh’s Mansion should be on this list. It sounds cool but you can get trapped in all kinds of places if any of those levers are pulled. And don’t get me started on the robots that become insane and try to kill anyone in reach if their heads come off.
There is a way to get to Jindosh without pulling a single lever or meeting a single Clockwork soldier, apart from the one guarding Jindosh. I won't spoil it, but it's pretty cool once you learn how
Dylan Bailey yeah but only if you are the player. Everyone else is screwed, I mean you have to arrive on time or your more likely to be trapped and die in there. Guess it keeps away Party crashers though lol :P
Dylan Bailey I want to ask how you do that but at the same time agree that no spoilers in the comments. Cant think of a single way to him without going past people.
Pickman’s Gallery is probably my favorite part of Fallout 4! It’s a nifty little reference to an H.P. Lovecraft character in his story Pickman’s Model.
There's always the Layers of Fear house. Bonus features include but are not limited to: pitfalls that drop you onto a pile of doll heads, an endlessly spiraling office in distorted space time, and more apples and oregano than you could ever want.
What about the one Skyrim Markarth house where the secret tunnels had a magical torture cage and probably some murdering going on for Molag Bal, yeah not where I’d want to live.
You mean the host Jane? I bet she got some corpses in the basement, or maybe even a sizeable oven down there and private torture chamber. I think her Manor is called murder castle 2.
The Covenant Manor from Clive Barker's Undying. I wouldn't even spend the day there really. Ghosts, demon beasts killing off the staff, doors and portals to alternate dimensions, raiding gypsies, family curses! More tragedy in that place than you can shake a stick at.
No mention of Sheltered. I mean you guys did do a gameplay in which you managed to find a stranger who was agreed a good place to stay in return for her help, forced her into repeated labour without food, sleep or anything till she died of radiation, harvest her body and eat her.
The worst thing about the house from Resident Evil is that it makes you sound ridiculous. I mean, that can be the only explanation for the horrible voice acting, right?
Okay, i hereby officially demand that from this day forth, every description to every vid of both OXBOX and OXTRA contains information on where to get all those amazing shirts you guys are wearing (looking especially at Jane and Ellen here).
I can go on all day with a couple houses but this is a more tamed one....the house from I am bread hear me out a bread is just moving on its own throughout the whole house collecting dirt and everyday you wake up to something else broken...and toast
No mention that the Pickman Gallery was based on HP Lovecraft's story "Pickman's Model"? I am disappoint. And as for mine - the Ocean House Hotel from "Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines", which makes you feel freaked out as a *vampire*
Fable 2 Demon Door house in Bloodstone, all you have to do is get 10 people to follow you and you get a free house in a lovely snowy fantasyland!.....until you walk in through the front door and it all turns into screaming jumpscares and corpses. Damn real estate agents.
The mansion from Haunting Grounds is one I would never step foot in! What with the constant hassle of being chased by super powered creeps and puzzles more difficult than Resident Evil's Spencer Mansion.
I would like to add that it's impossible to go all the way around on a chain swing, but considering I'm criticizing the realism of a game where the family home looks like Pablo Picasso's take on Pee Wee's playhouse it might be something of a moot point.
No, it's not? I've seen kids do it. Unless "chain swing" means something different to us. I used to hate it when they did that because someone had to climb up and lift the swing back over so it would hang the right way again and I just wanted to be able to swing in peace. I would think it's impossible to go all the way around in such a smooth and gentle motion as shown in the game, though. Everyone I've seen do it always did a weird jump at the end to get the swing to go over the top and then they usually fell off the swing.
What Remains of Edith Finch. It's a game focusing on storytelling and exploration. There's no terrifying monsters to defeat, but the game will have you in tears nonetheless, guaranteed.
What about the Ocean House in Vampires Bloodlines? Not only does it have a ghost, it even time shifts and tries to kill you. So it merges the three most unpleasant things, in a single home
Oh, I could go to town on this topic. - The haunted Ocean House Hotel in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. - Benirus Manor in Oblivion, which has a very cheap price tag for a house that "looks" great. Turns out it's also haunted. - Ruins area in Darkest Dungeon. Used to be your ancestor's manor, now claimed by necromancers and the undead. - Dracula's Castle in all of Castlevania games. The castle is just a monster in itself as any critter that lives in it, full of traps, ever-changing layout, and other nasty things. - Judgement House in Murdered: Soul Suspect. A big rundown manor that serves as a hideout to a serial killer and demonic wraiths. - ShinRa Manor in Final Fantasy VII. It has quite a dark history and is infested with monsters, especially a really nasty one when you try to open a safe.
What about Reavers Mansion in Fable 3. Seems nice on the surface but when you learn it has a gladiator arena filled with battle slaves that are determined to fight via a "wheel of misfortune" and a hidden bed, that's been very used, doesn't seem too appealing to me.
There's also the Sunset House, where you have to solve a specific puzzle in the nighttime in order to restore the house. Then, by just sleeping in the bed (where there are giant flaming dolls), you have to play a deadly game of chess with Chesty, the maniacal, childlike Chest. Do all that and a little more, and you earn the deed to the house. Beware of the Hobbes and Hollow Men skulking around outside, plus an annoying Gnome in the pond.
I loved Reaver's mansion. Not only do you have a way to pass the time while you're waiting for all that gold to pile up in your palace, you also get to do a really fun side quest where you steal Reaver's underwear. And besides all that, you live in a house previously owned by someone who sounds like Stephen Fry and hasn't technically moved out yet. I slept in that bed every night hoping he'd pop over. No luck :(
The pun joke made me laugh out loud. I smile and chuckle throughout all your videos but there is always one that makes me burst out laughing and that was it for this one!
I'm surprised the house from Until Dawn wasn't mentioned. Beautiful views and a very private area, just got to get over the fact that you have cannibalistic wendigos crawling about
The mansion from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, there was an entrance to a Lovecraftian undead city in the basement, and zombies and displacer beasts roamed your house at will.
What about your family's ancestral manor in Darkest Dungeon? "Opulent and imperial" sounds nice enough, but considering it's crawling with the undead, crazed cultists and worse, I think I'll pass. The surrounding countryside isn't much better, swarming as it is with hideous mutated pigmen and the ugliest mermaids you've ever seen.
How about the West Mansion from Splatterhouse II? The opening intro highlights corpses hanging from the trees outside, there's a reeking swamp full of howling monsters to fight through and when you DO get inside the fun really begins. By fun I mean more howling monsters. Terrible brickwork too, the place is literally falling apart.
I haven't played either, but are Dishonored and TitanFall made by the same company? Or did one game rip off the other with the time hopping level mechanic? Because it seems cool and I've been wanting to play Dishonored, and that TitanFall level really looked cool to me so now I can have both! I can play Dishonored and get the cool time jump level too!
You could probably do a whole video on this just from the Elder Scrolls. I'll nominate that apartment under the lighthouse that the Dark Brotherhood traitor in Oblivion lives in, the house on Solstheim in Skyrim with the creepy Dwemer mind control basement, the house in Markarth that the vigilant is trying to investigate (but nobody in town remembers), and Morvayn Manor in Morrowind.
What about every haunted place in The Witcher 3? There are tons of haunted houses no one sane would ever go near, luckily Geralt is a crazy badass witcher.
Mystic Manor from Scooby-Doo Night of 100 Frights. The whole place is full holes in the floor, entire walkways are missing, ghosts and monsters inhabit it, the fireplace even tries to kill you, it’s alway seems to be raining when you go out on the balcony. Not mention it’s also riddled with traps and secret passages just to get around the place.
epkaz93 Most likely a reference to an article that ran in the U.K that claimed young people can't afford houses because they spend too much money on things like avocado toast. Yup.
The mansion from Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines you to go for one of the main quests early on. And the mansion in Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines you go to about halfway through. Either one/both are pretty damn creepy for different reasons.
THE HOUSE IN LAYERS OF FEAR!!! Pretty creepy considering there are puzzles and theres a picture made of human remains and it tells a pretty creepy story too
If the ‘Lost in the outsiders eyes jar’ gets any more full. Ellen might be able to afford a holiday. Try the void. Heard it’s wonderful this time of year
Here's a retro nomination: Henry Stauf's mansion from The 7th Guest (the "killer app" for CD-ROM drives in the early 1990s). Creepy stuff in every room, full-motion video ghostly drama, and no shortage of headache-inducing puzzles. You _will_ be wanting some paracetamol when playing this game. That, or you'll get stuck and have to look up a walkthrough.
These are the houses so deadly, deceitful or MASSIVELY HAUNTED that you would never choose to live in them, even if they were free ☠️ Enjoy!
Well, they're all better than the school toilets, those things must be haunted.. All the groans and overflowing cubicles
How About shinra mansion in ffvii and crisis core, full of ghost creatures in the rooms a cave with undead and a secret laboratory under it

Its also close to the waterline, survived the apocalypse in the first place and has easy access basement rooms. Its a steal honestly.
Actually the apocalypse should raise housing prizes. Being one of the 5 livable houses in the whole city is a good argument.
Is the Pickman gallery a reference to the Lovecraft story, "Pickman's Model"? That would be awesome.
I'd think so, the Fallout franchise has many references to Lovecraft throughout the series going all the way back to before it was acquired by Bethesda.
Pickman's artwork is positively *ghoulish!* I wonder who modelled for it?
The colors were absolutely out of space!
Lovecraft.
For a moment my three brain cells interpreted this as “Pikmin’s artwork” and I was very confused.
Oh im glad that someone else mentioned it lol
Pickmans Gallery seems like a decent house to me. Free signed artwork, multiple storeys and a bad enough reputation that you won't get attacked by raiders too often.
Yeah, but getting the smell of blood out isn't easy, especially with few cleaning products.
Fortunately I don't have a sense of smell so that's not even a problem for me.
lunavixen015 I don't think you'd mind the smell of blood and rotting corpses if you live in the post-apocalypse. It would rather make you hungry.

Seconded! And you were lured into it with a great deal! It's a decent and cheap house until all the ghosts wake you up in the middle of the night and attack you. I did however enjoy obsessively hunting down all the coppies of the Mythic Dawn Commentaries cult books and sealing them in the secret lich room in the basement.
What about Hjerim in Skyrim? It was the scene of a terrible murder by a creepy serial killer and you'll have trouble pronouncing your address, making deliveries a nightmare. Deliver it to Windhelm, house name.... herjim to hedgrim... to the murder house
Reece Cowell or the abandoned house in markarth that ends up housing the shrine to molag bal
Benirus Manor in Oblivion. Has a very nice room for conducting dark rituals or human sacrifices though.
Honestly, I'm not comfortable in my own house. I mean I got this subscriber electric fence from you guys and now these monsters keep appearing and trying to get inside?!
Really? I thought monster problems were a normal occurrence in all homes... Perhaps you should invest in more traps.
At least you don’t occasionally have a door to a bottomless basement filled soul consuming darkness
Caitlin RC I have o e word to fix your problem, crossbows.
Simple solution: Chainsaw-cannons.
*Mic Drop*
Genesis23OPB Until the darkness possesses said teddy. Such tragedies occur
for the record, the manor in Dishonored 2 mansion was amazing before stiltion went insane, so yes i CAN imagine people wanting to live there, as it was nice
You don't want to live in half of the houses in the Sims, trust me.
How many of those were because you took away a pool ladder.
Ironic Dutch Moonshade especially when your God removes the doors
I think half is a bit generous. I'd estimate 70-80%
i dunnow some look damn comfy
Ironic Dutch Moonshade The Sims brings out the evil in everyone
What about the mansion from layers of fear. It may have some nice high ceilings, but the creepy ghost babies are a bit of a deal breaker for me!
"Any houses with wing is going to be lit"? Really? I can't believe you missed the chance to say "any houses with wings is going to be FLY". Honestly oxtra I had more faith in you.
alex gutierrez I can’t believe he said lit with a straight face
Dammit you said it first
Pfft! XD
LAYERS OF FEAR! who wants to live in a house with some evil " Bob Ross" stuff going on... *chuckle...beat the devil out of it*
Good to see you guys remembered the "lost in Outsiders eyes"-jar.
What You didn't include the House from Hello Neighbor. That's one of the strangest houses in gaming.
0:55 i cant BELIEVE you missed the opprotunity to say, "any mansion with wings is gonna be fly"
Im pretty sure the house from resident evil 7 wouldn’t be here
All we need is some mold removal....
House from Resident Evil 7 would definitely be on here. It's in Louisiana!
Yeah but it's in a swamp and most of its dilapidated. It would probably be easier and cheaper just to bulldoze the damned thing as well as the surrounding swamp, just to make sure the mold problems taken care of. On top of that you'd have to consider the fact the neighbors all probably have mold problems too. Besides, you don't really want to be one of those creepy swamp people, do you?
Don't be silly! Bulldoze a house build on the bayou? Not gonna happen unless you've invented an amphibious bulldozer.
I haven't seen the video yet but I'm willing to bet Ellen's managed to squeeze Lara Croft onto the list, yeah?
How about The Abandoned House in Markarth in Skyrim... I mean. it's haunted like whoa. But you can have it if you do a bunch of stuff for a Daedric Prince... And like... Yeah. I mean. Who would do that? Not MY character... Or at least... not my current one... (Like, maybe my last three did. But not this new one! ... yet.)
And another thing... What about, like, ANY home in The Sims? I mean, at any point your bathroom could vanish right when you need it most or the ladder leading out of your pool causing mass drownings at your holiday cookout.
How does that construction company stay in business?
I'll tell you how.
Nobody who owns one of their homes, nor ANY of their friends and family, is left alive.
Also, on the subject of "haunted plus crazy puzzles to navigate" let's talk about 7th Guest shall we? There was that puzzle with the heart and the pipes and the reward for setting it to the correct configuration was a pool of blood spreading across the floor. And another one where you have to watch the ghost of an old lady getting really upset at her inability to... organize some soup cans to her satisfaction. So the only way to put her spirit to rest is to find the missing can so the pantry can be perfectly organized. ... and on top of it all, the owner of the house was a CREEPY TOYMAKER THAT MADE CREEPY TOYS THAT KILLED CHILDREN.
AND ANOTHER THING about homes in Skyrim! Let's talk about Hearthfire and the dubious wisdom of choosing Windstad Manor in Hjaalmarch as your home, particularly if you've adopted children. Firstly, your kids are afraid all the time and they say so. I mean sure, you get a fish hatchery, but trolls and undead are always trampling on your outdoor garden! Lakeview is MUCH better... I mean sure, there's the occasional giant that shows up. But the kids never complain about it. They just get to work, attacking the giant in close quarters combat with the improved, vampiric, toy swords I gave them! We kill those giants together. Me, Meeko, my kids, my Steward, and my werewolf husband. Quality family time.
That 7th Guest mansion was really creepy!
I agree with all of your points! As someone who has owned both manors in Skyrim I know how it works. Of course the things that irritates me is when the giants kill my lifestalk. It really is quality bonding time killing said giants when you have shadowmere, two sons, a wife, and a crazy companion in the form of Cisero.
Ellen will now go broke because of the Outsider.
*fills the entire studio with images of the Outsider*
Don’t mind me just making the process faster
How about The House of the Dead, i mean.. its called the house of the dead i dont think i need to explain...
Andy Mcp And even so, the dead don't stay like that very long. To have houseguests, you'd have to hand them a weapon like a knife or gun.
(At the doorway)
Here you go. We have a glock or an icepick. Sorry, I can't give you the usually machete. Why? Jason's here that's why.
You could have specified which House of the Dead, but that would have been a bit Overkill.
Its the paint job isnt it? oh god why did they use pink and lime green....
Don't forget Blackhall Manor from Fallout 3's Point Look Out DLC. Not only is it a creepy Victorian manor shrouded by more fog than HP Lovecraft could shake a tentacle at, but it also (surprise!) has a secret ritual room tucked neatly away in the basement. And if you can somehow get past all that, there's the ominous old man living alone there that'd like for you to track down an other worldly book of unspeakable evil. Presumably to really tie together that ritual room.
What about the abandoned house in Markarth in Skyrim, Molag Bal would be a terrifying squatter.
Mathew Smith but hey, kill a guy for a free mace. Sounds like a deal to me
Mathew Smith i was thinking about it as well xD
I'm have to say the Roivas mansion in Eternal Darkness is pretty nasty. Being full of ghosts and built over a hole to an ancient city full of cthulhu-esque horrors is probably something the estate agents leave out when selling that place
Jindosh’s Mansion should be on this list. It sounds cool but you can get trapped in all kinds of places if any of those levers are pulled. And don’t get me started on the robots that become insane and try to kill anyone in reach if their heads come off.
There is a way to get to Jindosh without pulling a single lever or meeting a single Clockwork soldier, apart from the one guarding Jindosh. I won't spoil it, but it's pretty cool once you learn how
Dylan Bailey yeah but only if you are the player. Everyone else is screwed, I mean you have to arrive on time or your more likely to be trapped and die in there. Guess it keeps away Party crashers though lol :P
Dylan Bailey I want to ask how you do that but at the same time agree that no spoilers in the comments. Cant think of a single way to him without going past people.
guilmon981 Cool 😁
Only problem I guess then is collecting everything.
I definitely wouldn't want to live in Arkham Manor, that place is crazy dangerous!! See what I did there? Hope Ellen liked it.
Pickman’s Gallery is probably my favorite part of Fallout 4! It’s a nifty little reference to an H.P. Lovecraft character in his story Pickman’s Model.
I wish someone would look at me the way Ellen looks at the Outsiders eyes
I don't think any of these homes have internet access. How would I subscribe to Outside Xtra?! Instant deal-breaker!
There's always the Layers of Fear house. Bonus features include but are not limited to: pitfalls that drop you onto a pile of doll heads, an endlessly spiraling office in distorted space time, and more apples and oregano than you could ever want.
What about the one Skyrim Markarth house where the secret tunnels had a magical torture cage and probably some murdering going on for Molag Bal, yeah not where I’d want to live.
What about Layers Of Fear?
yeah the mansion is always changing
What about Jane's house?
Would never want to be a resident of Jane's homestead in the Commonwealth.
Jane doesn't have A house. Jane has all houses, and if one of them has people in it it's only because she isn't done with them yet.
You mean the host Jane? I bet she got some corpses in the basement, or maybe even a sizeable oven down there and private torture chamber. I think her Manor is called murder castle 2.
Which one? Jane owns them all and is taking in millions dollars because this is monopoly and rules don't apply to Jane.
No castle from Amnesia: Dark Descent?
It does have a sweet brewery I guess.
Im honestly surprised theres no vampire the masquerade bloodlines mansion, I mean what other place is so bad that even a vampire would feel helpless.
The Covenant Manor from Clive Barker's Undying. I wouldn't even spend the day there really. Ghosts, demon beasts killing off the staff, doors and portals to alternate dimensions, raiding gypsies, family curses! More tragedy in that place than you can shake a stick at.
No mention of Sheltered.
I mean you guys did do a gameplay in which you managed to find a stranger who was agreed a good place to stay in return for her help, forced her into repeated labour without food, sleep or anything till she died of radiation, harvest her body and eat her.
That last house sort of reminds me of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose.
Whew. Was going through Ellen withdrawal. Got my fix now.
I love how the Outsider keeps trying to look cool and mysterious after doing a cute little hop off of a piano at 4:38 ^^
The worst thing about the house from Resident Evil is that it makes you sound ridiculous. I mean, that can be the only explanation for the horrible voice acting, right?
Okay, i hereby officially demand that from this day forth, every description to every vid of both OXBOX and OXTRA contains information on where to get all those amazing shirts you guys are wearing (looking especially at Jane and Ellen here).
I'd take Luigi's mansion in a heartbeat
It would be your last heartbeat
Coo is not really a big bear 🐻
Coo is not really a big bear 🐻
Ellen: “Cause it’s a total death trap, and full of lies!”
Me: “Like the Outsiders Eyes.”
I can go on all day with a couple houses but this is a more tamed one....the house from I am bread hear me out a bread is just moving on its own throughout the whole house collecting dirt and everyday you wake up to something else broken...and toast
No mention that the Pickman Gallery was based on HP Lovecraft's story "Pickman's Model"? I am disappoint.
And as for mine - the Ocean House Hotel from "Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines", which makes you feel freaked out as a *vampire*
Fable 2 Demon Door house in Bloodstone, all you have to do is get 10 people to follow you and you get a free house in a lovely snowy fantasyland!.....until you walk in through the front door and it all turns into screaming jumpscares and corpses. Damn real estate agents.
Nah, all you have to do is play the lute.
The mansion from Haunting Grounds is one I would never step foot in! What with the constant hassle of being chased by super powered creeps and puzzles more difficult than Resident Evil's Spencer Mansion.
I would like to add that it's impossible to go all the way around on a chain swing, but considering I'm criticizing the realism of a game where the family home looks like Pablo Picasso's take on Pee Wee's playhouse it might be something of a moot point.
No, it's not? I've seen kids do it. Unless "chain swing" means something different to us.
I used to hate it when they did that because someone had to climb up and lift the swing back over so it would hang the right way again and I just wanted to be able to swing in peace.
I would think it's impossible to go all the way around in such a smooth and gentle motion as shown in the game, though. Everyone I've seen do it always did a weird jump at the end to get the swing to go over the top and then they usually fell off the swing.
What Remains of Edith Finch. It's a game focusing on storytelling and exploration. There's no terrifying monsters to defeat, but the game will have you in tears nonetheless, guaranteed.
What about the Ocean House in Vampires Bloodlines? Not only does it have a ghost, it even time shifts and tries to kill you. So it merges the three most unpleasant things, in a single home
Skulltulla house from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
You mean the Forest Temple, right? The Ceiling Hands were the first jump-scare tactics implemented into a video game.
Both of those are too spooky for me. Also, the Shadow Temple.
Oh, I could go to town on this topic.
- The haunted Ocean House Hotel in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.
- Benirus Manor in Oblivion, which has a very cheap price tag for a house that "looks" great. Turns out it's also haunted.
- Ruins area in Darkest Dungeon. Used to be your ancestor's manor, now claimed by necromancers and the undead.
- Dracula's Castle in all of Castlevania games. The castle is just a monster in itself as any critter that lives in it, full of traps, ever-changing layout, and other nasty things.
- Judgement House in Murdered: Soul Suspect. A big rundown manor that serves as a hideout to a serial killer and demonic wraiths.
- ShinRa Manor in Final Fantasy VII. It has quite a dark history and is infested with monsters, especially a really nasty one when you try to open a safe.
What about Reavers Mansion in Fable 3. Seems nice on the surface but when you learn it has a gladiator arena filled with battle slaves that are determined to fight via a "wheel of misfortune" and a hidden bed, that's been very used, doesn't seem too appealing to me.
There's also the Sunset House, where you have to solve a specific puzzle in the nighttime in order to restore the house. Then, by just sleeping in the bed (where there are giant flaming dolls), you have to play a deadly game of chess with Chesty, the maniacal, childlike Chest. Do all that and a little more, and you earn the deed to the house. Beware of the Hobbes and Hollow Men skulking around outside, plus an annoying Gnome in the pond.
blueeyedadela There's also a hung skeleton in the middle of the mansion.
Aska2468 Chesty also watches you throughout the mansion (when you complete the mirror puzzle).
I agree. Sunset House should have been on the list. Just playing chess alone could scare some people.
I loved Reaver's mansion. Not only do you have a way to pass the time while you're waiting for all that gold to pile up in your palace, you also get to do a really fun side quest where you steal Reaver's underwear. And besides all that, you live in a house previously owned by someone who sounds like Stephen Fry and hasn't technically moved out yet. I slept in that bed every night hoping he'd pop over. No luck :(
The pun joke made me laugh out loud. I smile and chuckle throughout all your videos but there is always one that makes me burst out laughing and that was it for this one!
Pac man 2
The house looked like pac man with a hat on and looked like he just went on a murder rampage
Dino Dive and there's some mute jackass with a slingshot telling you what to do. Just ask Weirdo!
Eh
The space helmet from the last game like it was Calvins helmet, from the comic Calvin and Hobbes
I'm surprised the house from Until Dawn wasn't mentioned. Beautiful views and a very private area, just got to get over the fact that you have cannibalistic wendigos crawling about
The mansion from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, there was an entrance to a Lovecraftian undead city in the basement, and zombies and displacer beasts roamed your house at will.
I want Andy to speak in his "Avocado Deliveryman" voice for the rest of time
Lionel Starkweathers mansion from Manhunt?
Cerberus soldiers + Piggsy + Dark and creepy theme...
What about your family's ancestral manor in Darkest Dungeon? "Opulent and imperial" sounds nice enough, but considering it's crawling with the undead, crazed cultists and worse, I think I'll pass. The surrounding countryside isn't much better, swarming as it is with hideous mutated pigmen and the ugliest mermaids you've ever seen.
I am glad someone else mentioned the Ruins from Darkest Dungeon. :D Indie games rarely make it into these lists.
I think Ellen has a thing for the Outsider...’The Death Of the Outsider & His Pretty Eyes’ DLC must have been heart wrenching to play, eh Ellen?
I would throw Bubsy's house on the list. Not that it's particularly weird or anything... it just comes with Bubsy. -__-
How about the West Mansion from Splatterhouse II? The opening intro highlights corpses hanging from the trees outside, there's a reeking swamp full of howling monsters to fight through and when you DO get inside the fun really begins. By fun I mean more howling monsters. Terrible brickwork too, the place is literally falling apart.
My house has secret passages that my friends and I used to use to scare people
we weren't the nicest
I haven't played either, but are Dishonored and TitanFall made by the same company?
Or did one game rip off the other with the time hopping level mechanic?
Because it seems cool and I've been wanting to play Dishonored, and that TitanFall level really looked cool to me so now I can have both! I can play Dishonored and get the cool time jump level too!
Two words: Maniac. Mansion.
Grant Evans For your safety, do NOT put the hamster in the microwave.
You wouldn't live in the Maniac Mansion? Don't be a tuna head!
and do not empty the pool
The Manor in Anvil! From ES: Oblivion. Scared me senseless!
I have a hunch Avocado sales are gonna be BIG this year
Muddy Mudwings I just bought 10 for a dollar
is that a James Veitch reference?
You could probably do a whole video on this just from the Elder Scrolls. I'll nominate that apartment under the lighthouse that the Dark Brotherhood traitor in Oblivion lives in, the house on Solstheim in Skyrim with the creepy Dwemer mind control basement, the house in Markarth that the vigilant is trying to investigate (but nobody in town remembers), and Morvayn Manor in Morrowind.
Yay posted on my birthday! (17 btw if anybody cares)
Happy birthday fellow fan!
Happy birthday!! - OX
merry christmas :3
Happy birthday.
happy kwanza.
You say you won't haunt our house with ghosts, but Jane's victims are pretty good at fixing the roof;D
What about every haunted place in The Witcher 3?
There are tons of haunted houses no one sane would ever go near, luckily Geralt is a crazy badass witcher.
Mystic Manor from Scooby-Doo Night of 100 Frights. The whole place is full holes in the floor, entire walkways are missing, ghosts and monsters inhabit it, the fireplace even tries to kill you, it’s alway seems to be raining when you go out on the balcony. Not mention it’s also riddled with traps and secret passages just to get around the place.
Wait, was that a cheeky Australian politics reference? #smashedavocado
epkaz93 Most likely a reference to an article that ran in the U.K that claimed young people can't afford houses because they spend too much money on things like avocado toast. Yup.
+CanadaSkies
That's pretty much the same thing. It got picked up in Aussie politics to the great shame of everyone else in the country.
The mansion from Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines you to go for one of the main quests early on. And the mansion in Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines you go to about halfway through. Either one/both are pretty damn creepy for different reasons.
I was thinking the same. Also, Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion is a given for this list, I think.
*cough* layers of fear *cough*
You should have a doctor get that cough checked out.
I SAID THE SAME THING
THE HOUSE IN LAYERS OF FEAR!!! Pretty creepy considering there are puzzles and theres a picture made of human remains and it tells a pretty creepy story too
I want that Tali'Zorah shirt. She's my favorite.
If the ‘Lost in the outsiders eyes jar’ gets any more full. Ellen might be able to afford a holiday. Try the void. Heard it’s wonderful this time of year
Oooh, how could you forgot Constantine's Mansion from the very first Thief game? Bizarre architecture, Gaudi-on-drugs-ish architect...
Here's a retro nomination: Henry Stauf's mansion from The 7th Guest (the "killer app" for CD-ROM drives in the early 1990s).
Creepy stuff in every room, full-motion video ghostly drama, and no shortage of headache-inducing puzzles. You _will_ be wanting some paracetamol when playing this game. That, or you'll get stuck and have to look up a walkthrough.
