Read full description

"Alex Hunter's The House That Screamed is a flesh and blood found footage Frappuccino that blissfully blends The Amityville Horror , Paranormal Activity , Poltergeist , and just about every nightmare you've ever had into one hell of a spooky smoothie. The brain freeze from reading this one too fast is real, believe me." —Clay McLeod Chapman, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Devil Inside

Some houses are haunted by more than ghosts.

The Fleming family, recovering from a terrible loss, believe they've found a fresh start in sleepy Harrowridge. But at 1123 Jefferson Street, something is waiting.

Within weeks, whispers turn into screams. Family ties unravel. Blood is spilled.

The Flemings flee, leaving the house behind. Or so they think.

Now, decades later, after the family's story has been transformed into a bestselling book and a film franchise, a team of podcasters reopens the door to America's most infamous house, determined to separate truth from legend. To their horror, they begin to uncover what the legends got wrong.

Because at the house that screamed, not everything that hungers is dead.

How we calculate this

These are editorial estimates of intensity, informed by reading and review evidence, then checked before publication. They aren't star ratings, reader-vote averages or a measure of quality.

Each dimension runs from 1 (low) to 5 (exceptionally intense). A 5 is reserved for strongly consistent evidence. People experience horror differently.

Scary: Fear, tension and immediate threat.
Creepy: Unease, dread and an uncanny atmosphere.
Gore: Graphic injury, blood and bodily detail.
Disturbing: Upsetting ideas and lingering psychological impact.
Weird: Surreal, strange and reality-bending elements.

We draw a filled profile only when all five scores have been reviewed. Unrated does not mean mild. Missing scores are not estimated from genre tags or your saved taste. This profile isn't a complete content-warning guide.
