molmrath Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I just came across this website about the Winchester Mystery House and I thought it was really interesting, both for the story behind it and the pictures of the house itself: http://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/. If you click on "Press Images" there are several pictures of the house (I wish there were more pictures). I'm not sure, but I think this house may have been the inspiration behind the movie "Rose Red" (although they used a different building in the movie). Anyway, I hope y'all find it as interesting as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Wow that's cool Amy! I'll check it out more tomorrow. My sister is in from out of town and staying the night. She ran to the store so i'm checking out the forum and waiting for the pizza delivery guy! This is very interesting! Thanks for posting the info!

Robin Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 That house is amazing. I've been to it and was pretty creepy! The stories behind it are pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I think Mrs. Winchester would have been much better off appeasing the 'miniature' spirits in her home . . . smaller hammers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I've visited the house, too ... it was certainly amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molmrath Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Here's another fun site - this is Thornewood Castle, where they filmed the movie "Rose Red" (great movie, by the way - there's an awesome halfscale dollhouse in it...) http://www.thornewoodcastle.com/photos.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Here's another fun site - this is Thornewood Castle, where they filmed the movie "Rose Red" (great movie, by the way - there's an awesome halfscale dollhouse in it...) http://www.thornewoodcastle.com/photos.htm Wow - now that's my idea of an ispiration... but all the detail <groan> I love looking at it!.. but I don't think I'd be very good at making it . This is definitely a house I could drool over in full size or mini!!! If I only had that kind of skill - wow. That site is defiitely going on my favorites list! -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbugkc Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 That truly is inspiring. The only way that house could be any better is if it were 1:12 scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
