Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg understood that nothing is scarier than something awful happening in a perfectly normal house on a perfectly normal street.

Description: Downton Abbey ran for six seasons and the house was as much a character as the Crawleys. Highclere Castle in Hampshire has been standing since the 17th century and the ITV period drama made it the most famous manor house in the world. Carson is still somewhere in there.
Description: No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality. Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Shirley Jackson's novel is the best haunted house story in the history of television — a story about grief wearing the skin of horror.
Description: It is a true thing that all we have is the moment we are in. Bly Manor is the most quietly devastating haunted house story in recent television — less about the ghosts and more about the people who become them. Mike Flanagan understood the assignment.
Description: Anne of Green Gables arrived at the wrong farm and made it exactly the right one. L.M. Montgomery's farmhouse on Prince Edward Island is one of literature's most beloved fictional addresses — quiet, green, and full of a girl who couldn't stop talking or stop being wonderful.
Description: The most famous private estate in California. Neverland Ranch was Michael Jackson's 2,700-acre complex in Santa Ynez — complete with a theme park, a railway, and a zoo — and it remains one of the most surreal and singular addresses in American pop culture history.

Description: Every hundred years it rises again. Dracula's Castle from Castlevania is one of gaming's most enduring settings — labyrinthine, relentless, and impossibly designed. Simon Belmont has been whipping his way through it for decades and somehow it never gets easier.
Description: Built by Louis XIV to demonstrate that no one on earth had more power than the King of France. The Palace of Versailles is the most extravagant royal residence ever constructed — 2,300 rooms, 800 hectares of gardens, and a Hall of Mirrors that still makes every visitor feel small.

Description: Luigi never asked to inherit a mansion and he absolutely did not want it once he saw what was living inside. Luigi's Mansion took gaming's second banana and finally gave him a starring role — and the Poltergust 3000 was the perfect weapon for the most reluctant hero in Nintendo history.
Description: The salt of the earth. MJF is the most naturally gifted heel in professional wrestling and has been since he was twenty-two years old. Every promo is a masterclass, every feud has a story, and Long Island still won't give him the credit he deserves. He'll be fine.
Description: Bay Bay. The longest-reigning NXT Champion in history who made an entire crowd learn a three-word catchphrase and yell it back perfectly every time. Adam Cole is one of the most naturally charismatic performers in professional wrestling — heel or babyface, the result is the same.
Description: Every match, Rey Fenix does something that makes the entire building believe they just witnessed something physically impossible. He has been doing this for years and has not run out of impossible things. The Lucha Brothers are the best tag team in the world when they decide to be.
Description: Dirty Dom. He turned heel on his own father in front of the entire world at Clash at the Castle, joined Judgment Day, and has been the most entertaining member of every segment he's been in ever since. The mustache was the final piece of the puzzle.
Description: The original evil clown — before it was a genre, Doink was a genuinely unsettling character who used comedy as a weapon. The heel version was one of the WWF's most creative characters of the early 1990s. Matt Borne understood the assignment completely.
Description: The human suplex machine. Taz's ECW run was one of the most legitimately intimidating character studies in professional wrestling — a genuinely small man who convinced everyone he could break anyone in half. The FTW Championship was never officially recognized. He wore it anyway.
