Yeah, I figured that might give it away.

I'm not actually sure if it was used as a filming location though. It is the house where the actual events of the story took place. I grew up not far from there and was there when it all happened.

Yeah. There were real murders. It was quite a bit on the local news at the time. I make no claim regarding the inspiration.

It wasn't. They wanted to film there, but couldn't get permission. They converted a house in New Jersey to look like it.

Cool! Of course, it's actually where it all didn't happen.

EDITED AFTERTHOUGHT: Unless you mean the murders - they happened. The rest? Not so much.

That must have increased the production costs quite a lot. In New Jersey, they'd have to do all kinds of special effects to get the supernatural occurrences. In the actual house, they just could have filmed the real ones.

Not horror, not Cockney/Kraut. Most of the action takes place outside Scotland.

Something bondian?
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.
