Bangor, Maine, is home to what I dub The House of Horror. No, it's not a circus fun-house with warped mirrors and cheap fog machines, it's a home. An actual home that someone lives in.
That someone is Stephen King.

Stephen King is a bestselling American author of horror, mystery, and supernatural suspense stories. His books have sold 350 million copies and been adapted into numerous movies and miniseries.
It should be no surprise that Stephen King actually lives in Maine, in a small-ish town, as a good many of his stories are set in small-town Maine.
It should also be no surprise that King's house looks spooky. Even aside from the wrought iron fence with figures of bats and spiders, the Victorian style house itself looks like a classic set-piece for countless horror stories— by King or other authors. For example, you could totally imagine Psycho filming here. Or The Addams Family (a TV show which played a horror setting as camp).
