Yes. The Amittyville horror was a true story because I went to that hell house and I got a surprise when I viewed the photos I took, one of which, a small child with glowing red eyes had appeared in the window. I will never go back there again.
Is the Rose Red mansion still standing?
No, Rose Red is NOT a real mansion, although Stephen King got the idea from a real mansion and a real woman: Sarah Winchester, and the Winchester Mystery House. It is important to note that no one has ever been killed or gone missing in the Winchester Mystery House. See the Related Links.
The production company of the mini-series and the authors of both books that it is based on (Stephen King's Rose Red; and Ridley Pearson's Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life At Rose Red) have worked incredibly hard to dupe you. I thought it was real for the longest time and know some very credible people who also thought it was fact.
The truth is their are no such people as John and Ellen Rimbauer nor is there a great maneating house on Spring Street in Seattle, WA. The house used in the mini-series is called Thornwood Castle. The university which Joyce Reardon supposedly teaches at is also fake as is she. There is a rather authentic looking Beaumont University Website, but it too is a FAKE! This rather elaborate setup is debunked in completion in the HistoryLink article (again, see the Related Links).
I agree. No one has been killed or gone missing in the Winchester house, but you might bump into a wall, stairways that go into the ceiling, corners, and doors that go straight down. She was quite a eccentric lady! Some say the death of her husband and child drove her insane. She spent her life trying to contact them in seances while adding on rooms to the house. I still question if she was insane to begin with, and their deaths made her worse. She left behind a great tourist attraction!

The reason why people like scary stories has two explanations to it. Many people like scary stories because fear is involved. Fear triggers your simulus which boosts your adrenaline.

"Sookie" may be derived from one of several etymologies:
1. Diminutive of Susan, like Sue or Susie. The origin of Susan is the English form of Susannah, which in turn comes from Hebrew Soshana, a derivative of Shoshannah (often lily, sometimes rose).
2. It may be related to the Spanish word "azucar," meaning "sugar."
3. It may be related to the West African female day name "Akosua" meaning "female born on Sunday."
4. Used in Japanese, it means "to like," or "liked" depending on how it's used. This may seem a little tame, but consider that Japanese has no word that translates straight across to "love." The word that comes closest is ai, which means "affection," so take the "to like" of the Japanese "-suki" and try to look at it through that lens. If "affection" for the Japanese means love, then "to like" or "likable" probably is on the same level as "dear" or "beloved."
If the reason for this question is because of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, or the HBO series True Blood which is based upon them, then I think #1 is probably the likeliest reason, although all of them could possibly apply. I rather doubt that a girl born and raised in the U.S. deep south will be walking around with a Spanish, African or Japanese name.
What things did Dr Frankenstein do to create Frankenstein?
He had bolts, nuts real nuts bu the way and a load of other things.
For the most part, the Monster that is known as Frankenstein, or more astutely "Frankenstein's Monster" is more of a tragic character in that he was bore out of chaos and then abandoned by his "father" and then formed into a monster by the close minded world that ridiculed and scorned him due to his appearance. So yes and no, he without a doubt committed heinous acts which made him evil, but you have to ask yourself how much of that was of his own action and how much of it was his ill mannered attempt at retribution for Victor's actions. He certainly showed a human side when he helped the family out by pulling their frozen fields for them only to be once again banished by a narrow minded world.

What are the characteristics of horror music?
I'm not sure about the 6 of them, but I have noticed that there are very high pitched notes, played by strings (such as violins), music box type instruments, or anything with a tingy sound to it. The very low notes are used to compliment these. The song is usually in a minor key. There is a lot of syncopation and volume contrast.
I hoped this helped.

What actor immortalized Dracula?
Many actors have played Dracula on film, stage and television. The first one to really bring Dracula to the attention of film-goers was Bela Lugosi in the 1930s, followed by Christopher Lee in the Hammer films of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Later on, actors like Frank Langella (who also played Dracula on Broadway) and Gary Oldman have recreated interest in the Dracula legend. But to answer your original question, I would have to say Bela Lugosi.
