Has anyone seen the series or dvd of Rose red by Stephen King?
Did you know that although the events in the film are fiction, the house is based on a real house!! The house is the Winchester house in San Hose, build by Sarah Winchester daughter in-law to Oliver Fisher Winchester who invented the Winchester rifle, After the death of her Daughter and husband she believed she was cursed by those killed by the rifle.
After constulting a medium she was instructed to move to San Hose and build a house to appease the spirits, as long as she kept building she would not meet an untimely death like that of her husband and daughter.
When she died in her sleep in 1922 the house had 160 rooms, 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows,
47 stairways, 47 fireplaces, 13 bathrooms, and 6 kitchens. all spread over 7 storeys and covering a massive 6 acres
to confuse the spirits she had builders build stairs that went nowhere, doors that opened to brick walls and cupboards that opened into rooms, she also never slept in the same bedroom 2 nights in a row! (wish i had that many)
anyway if you want to know about this house check out the link.
