My Favorite Miniseries - Rose Red

I need to see a psychiatrist. This film is my addiction! I'm not sure why, but I've always had a thing for haunted mansions. It all started with The Haunting (1999), the movie where Owen Wilson gets decapitated. What interested me most about that movie was the ghost children and the moving children heads on the bed. Hill House and Rose Red are my dream homes! Fun Fact: I live next to Thornewood Castle from Rose Red.

I never had the privilege of visiting it, though... :(
My story with Rose Red dates back to nine years ago. I was visiting my moms house and one day she popped that movie in. Let me tell you, that was the longest sucker I've ever seen in my life! No lie, it is four hours long. Fantastic! If only it were longer. What brought this miniseries to a special place in my heart is obviously the house itself. It is just so atmospheric and reminds me of exploring a cave in Oblivion. I mean, this house is pretty darn big. That picture above is only a small part of it.

That's more like it.
The first picture was what the house looked like upon completion in 1909, until Ellen Rimbauer decided to keep building. After she disappeared, the house built on its own. Thank you, Stephen King! This is my idea of heaven. The movie itself takes place in 2001, the present time when it came out. Many deaths and disappearances occurred at this house, three just from construction. I've seen this movie so many times I could list all the deaths, not including the ones that happen in the course of the movie. With that said, this miniseries is a must see. My love for this movie can hardly be described by being told, but understood by watching. There is also a movie called The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, which takes place during Ellen's time period. Although, they only use one of the same actresses.

Why can't I live here?
