[QUOTE=Freudian Slit] Ohh, the Bates Motel. Yeah, that’s a good point. Well…I guess it…could’ve been haunted, in a completely unrelated issue that was never raised in the movies. [/QUOTE] Wouldn’t _that_ be a coincidence, huh? ---

Missed the edit window, so… Dagnabit! I left off Regan’s name for #8. I was checking correct spelling than got lost on a tangent. \< sigh \> Maybe it’ll count anyhow? And as far as I’m concerned, the Bates Motel was as good as haunted, so there. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] 1. Name a haunted house/building from a movie. [/QUOTE] Well, now that I’ve already entered and read some other posts, I think I should say something about this one: I’m not certain if I read this category in the way that was intended. I read it as, “Name a haunted house or a building from a movie.” But, some later commenters appear to have read it as, “Name a haunted house or a haunted building from a movie.” Can I get a ruling? Or, really, if enough people answer “Bates Hotel” like I did, the answers still count, because points are based on popular vote and not on accuracy, right? ---
