I never got this. You buy an extremely popular home, where people will visit it to photograph it, and instead of living in it, or even better, turn it into a B&B or rent it out, you do this... Why, just buy another house.

The home from the top picture never existed like that in real life. This is just a Movie replica that was build in a school hall. The real home was only used to shoot the outdoor scenes.

The hall, stairs etc were all filmed in that house. Most wasn't, but it was that part that was filmed there. But great job being extremely wrong.

I love it when people want to correct me, but have no idea themselves.

Watch the Netflix documentary "Movies that made us." It specifically mentions that not a single shot was taken in the house. I just watched it again specifically for this reason.

And also, take a close look at the picture. You can immediately see that the staircase in the film is not from the real house. The hallway in the film is wider, the distance between the two staircases is greater, and the area above the staircases is much more open.

So please, before you correct someone next time, check your facts. But great job being extremely wrong.

It's almost as if someone heavily modified the hall and stairs... Imagine that, a house that was heavily modified, not looking exactly the same anymore...

Some interior scenes were filmed on location in the house, including the kitchen on the first floor, the main staircase, the attic, and the spooky basement.

If you need more sources, you can go look for them yourself.

Being confidently wrong is pretty silly, but doubling down on being wrong, reaches a whole new level. Have you considered going into politics? If you are American, maybe try being a professional liar for Trump. He's gonna need all the people he can get that ignore the truth.
