John Landis Presents The Library of Horror – Haunted Houses

Classic haunted house ghost stories curated by world-renowned filmmaker and horror genre authority John Landis.

Lovecraft and Percival Landon; studies of creeping dread by Edgar Allan Poe and Henry James; short, sharp shockers by Ambrose Bierce, M.R. James and Lafcadio Hearn; and comedic masterpieces by Oscar Wilde and Saki. Mr Landis' own introduction explores each tale's fascinating impact on the contemporary horror genre.
