A Haunted House You'd Habitate?

Around Halloween many houses turn "haunted" - but is there one that haunts you to live in it? We adore the Weasleys' house in Harry Potter - mostly because of all the magical furniture and charms that do chores and cleaning. Is there a fictional haunted house in which you'd want to live? Tell us below the jump...

Images shown are of the Weasley family house "The Burrow" from the film "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."
For more fictional haunted houses, see the NPR story "Three Hauntingly Unforgettable Literary Houses", which discusses houses in literature that are as much a character or force as any of the human characters.

the adams family the one in the 1990ish movie. i want to ride the slide uncle fester and the um "dad" ride to get to the secret basement. i could do without the spider webs, food, and anything else crawling around though.

I'd love the Bates Hotel from "Psycho" and the house on "Practical Magic"!

Must agree with acwink and say I love the Practical Magic house. I'd love to live in the Addams Family house too, and of course the Burrow is great.

does sandra bullock come with the practical magic house?

the burrow - then i'd live in the potter world :) the ghoul in the attic qualifies it, too!

i have never had anything weird happen to me in a haunted house...weird stuff just ends when i show up which is lame because i'm a complete believer in the paranormal :(

Yes, I LOVE the Weasley's house. I wish they would make an entire movie about the Weasley's house. Only a distant second are the shops in Diagon Alley.

I've always LOVED the house from the 90's movie Casper with Christina Ricci.

Lol, I'd so love getting a great deal - so why not the Amityville house? Located in an upscale Long Island suburb in N.Y.

It all sounds good unless of course the taxes are a killer.

My favorite 'haunted' houses:
Practical Magic
Harry Potter's Weasley Home (more magical than haunted)
The Ghost & Mrs. Muir
